Happy New Year

It seems as though life has been non stop and September just flew by. In addition to my screenwriting class, I am also taking Hebrew at the New School.

In recent New York happenings, thanks to a Bday gift from my buddy Dave, Esther and I had an amazing dinner at Tavern on the Green. This is a restaurant in Central Park. We were able to eat in the garden which is surrounded by Asian lanterns in the trees. It was lovely.

Last week I had coffee with my friend Joe who lives in Yorkville. I did some exploring in the neighborhood and found a little Hungarian district with restaurants, shops, and even a market. I also had a little theater outing with Esther. These past few weeks have been the New York Musical Theater festival. This is where dozens of new shows are performed off Bway. We saw Idaho the musical. If you have seen Oklahoma! then you would have gotten all of the jokes. Instead of "Oh what a beautiful morning," the opening song was "Oh what a great day, all the men in the chorus are gay." It was a very fun parody.

This weekend I was in Florida for Rosh Hashana. Esther and I cooked and baked up a storm. We made Brisket, Chicken, Koogle, Pecan Pies, and Apple Upside Down Tart. I spent second night of Rosh Hashana at my friend Elyse's back in the city. It was a fun group of us in our late twenties and everyone had cool jobs like being a midwife, a costume designer for the New York City Ballet, and getting a Master's in Forensic Psychology. Somehow being an advisor did not seem too exciting but maybe one day I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up :)
