Young and Foolish

Susan in NYC celebrating a significant birthday in some fair style :-) lunch at the Rainbow Room, Bellinis at Harry's, evening at the Met, what a fab day ! As part of the 'birthday festival' we also discovered the John Campbell apartment bar - now that's a well kept secret - plus the original Smith & Wollensky's, Charlie Palmers', and some old favourites like I Tre Merli. We could live comfortably in NYC. Most of the good things in life are a short taxi ride away, and there are just so many taxis. The Waldorf treated us very nicely, we should say. They have Noel Coward's piano, I hope he doesn't need it back :-)

Was great to live it up in style for a while. The Rainbow Room is a private club for lunch, so did well to get in there, it is quite a compact dance club on the top of the Rockafeller building, where Fred Astair et al did their stuff. The lunch was maginificent. Also tried out some dodgy jazz clubs like Swing 46.

Here's Susan at the Met, where we saw 'Peter Grimes' well done indeed. Have to say we can now rank our fave world opera houses, which is getting a tad pretentious don't you think? :-) Happy birthday, sweet 16 xxxxxx
