There’s nothing better than meeting new Swifties that are as friendly and as genuine as you imagined. I fell in love with all these ladies and gentleman this past weekend in NYC! @taylorswift REPping our 13s!

Here's some live photos from Thursday when I went to the play the first time. The first one is when Armie says he remembers me then the second is me saying "I'm shaking" and the last two are Armie writing out my tattoo

Just booked tickets to Dear Evan Hansen for Susan, GLP, and me next week on Thursday. I’ve been to a play on Broadway (Our Town with Helen Hunt in the late 80s) but never a musical.

We looked at To Kill a Mockingbird and that was pretty spendy.

This Weekend in NYC

Happy Friday! 

Since Jonas snowed us in last weekend, this weekend is all about getting out of the house and enjoying NYC’s bounty of activities.

Here are some weekend activities to enjoy in and around the five boroughs:

Red Hook Community Summit: Saturday, January 30th from 10AM-1PM. Join the conversation on resiliency and community planning in Red Hook with our very own RISE : NYC.

New York Wild Film Festival:  January 28-31. This festival is taking place at The Explorers Club and aims to educate New York City’s urbanites about topics ranging from wild exploration and adventure to natural life and the environment. It will showcase powerful films and conversations to celebrate wildlife and spark discussion and interest in affecting crucial environmental change.

MoMA PS1:  MoMA P.S. 1’s Greater New York takes place every five years. The 158 artists on the roster range from 20-something to 80-something; a few are deceased.  Art from the 1970s and ’80s is presented as prescient of what’s being made now, and new art is viewed as putting a trenchant spin on the past. Expose yourself to what’s happening in today’s metropolitan art scene!

Essex Street Market: If you haven’t done so already, run over to Essex Street Market and try the deep fried risotto balls at the new Arancini Bros stand.

New York Botanical Garden: Wild Medicine in the Tropics showcases the fascinating curative properties of tropical plants. Check this out before it ends February 21st.

Have a great weekend, NYC!
