“I’ve Got A Brand New Pair Of Roller Skates, You’ve Got A Brand New Key.” – Melanie.

Guess that dates me, but roller skating never gets outdated. And there’s just something about cruising around in a circle with like-minded co-ordinated people on a winter Friday night that makes those cold dark days a bit brighter.

Come [...]

Bring Diapers or Baby Food to Annie Watson Photography Studio, Get Portrait Sitting Fee Waived, Monday – Friday December 14-18th

A couple of weeks ago, I happened upon the down-to-earth Annie Watson in her studio at 428 East Putnam Ave. in Cos Cob.  A few casual, candid black and white pictures blown up to poster proportions hanging on her studio wall indicates Watson’s ability to [...]

Focus on:The Mill on Pemberwick Rd. – Greenwich Yoga Holistic Center and Juice Bar Cafe

For decades, I’ve gone to the Mill on Pemberwick Rd. for one reason; gratifying meals at Centro Ristorante & Bar – for excellent food overlooking a raging dam waterfall.  I’ve also tried the “Asian Tapas” place, Bambou, where my shushi cravings were satisfied for less than I’d spend at many other sushi restaurants.

But when I [...]

Halloween Fest At Bush-Holley House, Saturday October 18, 12pm-4pm

Yes, this is the town’s most historic home, and no, it’s not THAT Bush.  I’ve already asked, as does everyone, I’d imagine.  Built in stages, the Bush-Holley House by the Cos Cob harbor was, in 1728, a one-room two-story structure.  In the 1890′s the home became a boarding house for artists and writers and remained [...]

Once again, I direct your attention to a venue beyond the Greenwich border; this time to the fantastically worthy Westport County Playhouse. With a Board of Directors that includes James Earl Jones, Christopher Plummer and Joanne Woodward, this is not your amateur regional theater, and in fact, I have vivid childhood memories of [...]
