Snow and St. John the Divine

We have had a lovely time so far in New York. Last night we saw, "In the Heights" a new musical (http://www.intheheightsthemusical.com/). Before we saw the show we met our friends Andy, Dan and Claire at The Irish Rogue for a drink. We had a late lunch yesterday at Les Deux Gamins with Mark Boyett in the W. Village. On Wednesday evening we went to the book signing at Borders (the book was Absolute Brightness by James Lescene who also wrote the film Trevor, 1994 Oscar for best Live Action Short and thus started The Trevor Project, a 24-hour hotline for gay and lesbian teens) and then went to the Stone Rose Lounge. We had a perfect view of the city and the lunar eclipse. Tuesday night we saw Matt and ate at Il Bastardo in Chelsea. During the day on Tuesday Lisa and I went to Town Shop and bra shopped. Then we went to tea at Alice's Teacup (wonderful).

Up in Morningside Heights where we are staying with Michael we've eaten at The Deluxe diner and Tom's Restaurant (of Suzanne Vega and Seinfeld fame), which happens to be a regular old diner at the end of the Michael's block. After eating at Tom's today, we walked over to St. John the Divine (http://www.stjohndivine.org/index.html) and there happened to be a choir concert going on while we walked about. It was serendipitous. The cathedral is meant for choral music so we were thrilled that we got to hear those children's voices - a beautiful choir.

So this evening we will be at Jon and Christopher's with Mike, Matt, John Dullworth, Ken, Lisa & Eric, Bennett & Helen... It will be great.
