: I went to New York on Saturday and brought my
: good friend, the one who doesn’t normally
: like theater all that much, but she was game
: and so she came along to see what adventures
: I could pull her into.
:
: We started the day (after going to the
: farmer’s market so that I could get some of
: my favorite Amish pretzels)
:
: Pretzels here:

:
: by going to lunch at Max Brenner, a
: restaurant in Union Square the specializes
: in chocolate. She had wanted to go there
: since her last time with me in NY about two
: years ago. It was good (but not great) and
: she got the craving for the fondue out of
: her system, so that was good.
:
: Next, we went to see a movie that I urge you
: all to see. Soon. Very soon. Now, even.
: The movie, a documentary, is called “Young
: at Heart” and it is about a group of senior
: citizens that join a singing group that
: sings modern music. Very modern music. The
: film is funny, sad, moving, touching and a
: deeply satisfying experience. I can’t
: imagine anyone not being able to take
: something away from it.
:
: The link with the trailer is here:
: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1047007/
:
: Next, it was dinner time and we went to a
: Ukrainian restaurant so that my friend could
: have a meal just like her mother used to
: make. Her nephew met up with us for the
: meal and we all had excellent food. I had
: the pierogies. It’s a very unassuming place
: in the middle of the building that serves as
: a social hall, but the dining room itself
: feels like a granny’s dining room. I can’t
: wait to go there again.
:
: The restaurant info is here:

:
: Next the three of us went to see a show
: off-off-off Broadway called “After Vermeer”
: about an art forger played by Austin
: Pendleton. I really enjoyed the show, but I
: seem to like everything that Mr. Pendleton
: does. My friends liked it, but didn’t love
: it. The very very hard seats in the tiny
: theatre may have had something to do with
: that!
:
: After that, we got on the train and went
: back home again. It was a lovely day. I
: wish you all could have been with us.
