Magical
There are evenings and nights in the City that are beyond description. And last evening was one of those. Attended Neil LaBute’s new play “The Money Shot”.

Use of Old Column
This is not a City view, but it is too clever not to share. Was in the Hamptons, and this was on a deck. An old column used as a trainer for a vine. The look was spectacular.
