My childhood friend Peter is now my neighbor again after 34 years



It is really exciting to be living in the same area again only 8 blocks away from my childhood friend Peter. I went to visit him this week during my week in the city. As I am sitting in his living room I discover that his view from his livingroom window is actually looking right at my building! I mean what our the odds of that happening??? He didn't even know until I pointed it out. Now we are going to see if he can figure out which one is my apartment one night. He will call me and I will blink the lights on and off!

Heartland Brewery Times Square


Had the Red Rooster Ale and like it alot, looking forward to going back to try some of the other beers. I was a little leery about going to a restaurant in Port Authority (about the only area I hate being around in NYC so far) but when inside you really have no idea where you are other than "Heartland Brewery".

Thanksgiving Dinner at Cookshop in Chelsea



We went for Thanksgiving. I know the restaurant can be so different when it is not a holiday. It was pre-fixed at 65.00 per person, which I thought was high but if the food is excellent I would be ok with that. We were VERY happy with our appetizer choices, so we felt the experience was going to be great. We both ordered the Turkey since it was Thanksgiving. The turkey was VERY fatty and not good. I thought the sweet potatoes were good, but then I started to taste something crunchy in it during one mouthful and then a second and third mouthful and I gave up. I like creative and different but the Stuffing sticks were just not good. Oh well. Bummed because it was recommended to me to go there. I am thinking it is a good place just not on a holiday.


The only "Perfect Crime" was how they stole our money

Went to see the "Perfect Crime" longest running play in NYC. We left confused and not really sure of the story line. The lead character has been the original actress since the play started, but I think only because she couldn't find work anywhere else. Let's just say, we feel the Perfect Crime was stealing peoples money to see this play.

La Cage - Loved it!


REALLY enjoyed seeing La Cage, though Kelsey Grammer's singing voice is pretty darn bad.

I dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast

In 1990 when my son was born and I left working in the Jewelery business, I decided I needed a job that I could work from home and still raise my son. So this is when I started as a "Travel Agent". It was so very different helping clients back than, the internet was not so popular yet, so you still relied on hotel brochures. It was much different when I left the travel business in 2010. In 2010, now all hotels had websites and there was social media for marketing. Times really changed. During those years is when my love of travel and the hotel business.

The Bed and Breakfast business was always interesting to me. I have stayed in many over the years I traveled. I enjoyed the concept on how different and more hands on they are to make the guest happy with all the extras of breakfast, wine/cheese hours, or evening snacks. I thought it was great how the owners really got to know the guests from all over the world. Well it has always been a dream of mine to own one someday. My only issue is that I still could never decide on a location of where this bed and Breakfast should be. It is something I still think about.

So when I saw this fun nifty game today to see if I have what it takes to own a B&B I wanted to share it. Have fun!
