It was a whirlwind. Literally. 24 HOURS in NYC. It was TRULY--to quote Amor Towles-- A ONE OF A KIND-KIND OF DAY. Hopped on the train Tuesday morning and got to the city about 3:00. Enjoyed coffee with friends and headed to Rockefeller Center. WOW. The tree was beyond amazing AND the Sax Fifth Avenue Light Show was incredible. I've never seen anything like it. The window decor at Bergdof Goodman, Tiffany & Co., Henri Bendel and Lord & Taylor blew me away too. Talk about getting in the Holiday spirit. Jumped on the subway to 95th street to Symphony Space for a REAL TREAT. An author talk with Amor Towles--writer of
Rules of Civility--
A Gentleman in Moscow--
The Lincoln Highway. It was a RED LETTER day of ole Marsh. Capped off the night at
Carmines-YUM YUM. Ran through Central Park the next morning. Went to Times Square to find the Lincoln Highway sign--had lunch at the Oyster Bar then jumped on the train to head home. It was the BEST DAY EVER. Hope you're planning your--ONE OF A KIND-KIND OF DAY--real soon. If you have a little down time, check out Alex Michaelides new thriller,
The Maidens. Marianna Andros, the main character, is a therapist who specializes in group therapy in London. She is also struggling to maintain her sanity, after the sudden death of her husband while on holiday in Greece. After learning that her niece Zoe's best friend has been murdered at St. Christopher College in Cambridge, Marianna is determined to travel to the school to help Zoe. Upon arrival, Marianna immediately becomes suspicious of a visiting professor named Edward Fosca and his group of maidens. Soon after, other murders are committed, Marianna is convinced that Fosca is the murderer, and she aims to prove it. Find out what happens to Marianna, Edward, Zoe and the Maidens when you read this page turner with many twists and turns for yourself. It's about 350 pages or a 4 mile run with a jagged turn at the end I didn't see coming. Enjoy.
