I arrived in NY to very gloomy skies but fortunately, it did not rain THAT day. I flew in for Surtex (Surface and Textile Design Show) and had only a few hours on my first day for my play time so I was especially glad that it didn’t rain. So as soon as I checked in my hotel and left my luggage, I took off to some of my favorite places (most rhyme with shopping).
I saw an article in a magazine recently about an art show on Park Avenue that consisted of rose sculptures in the grassy areas between lanes. I put seeing the exhibit at the top of my to-do list. The exhibit started further up Park Avenue than I anticipated so I only walked a few blocks of it, since I had already walked a bunch getting there. It was pretty special to see – giant roses at each cross street intersection. It was especially colorful with the cloudiness, although I know it would have enjoyed it equally with sunshine! The details were great and each sculpture also had a bug of some kind on it which added both realism and whimsy.
One of the many things I love about NY is all the restaurant choices. I met friends for dinner after my play time. With a combination of greats – friends, friends and wine, it was a wonderful evening. I highly recommend this restuarant – “44 & X”, located on 8th Avenue in the Hell’s Kitchen area. The food was delicious!
Well, back to unpacking and more pictures to follow with information about Surtex.
Bye for now,

Hi Phyllis! I wish I had seen the roses- they look great! 44 & x was good – I still can’t believe my meatloaf serving was like a little football! You were a wonderful roommate!
