Doing things I love

 We met in the lobby of the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons on 23rd Street to ....take a 40-minute free tour of the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons, an ancient fraternal/spiritual organization. An online reviewer described the lodge, located on W. 23rd St., as "one of the most spectacular buildings I have ever seen!" After the tour we'll have lunch, possibly walk the Highline (weather and time permitting), and visit some of the most interesting art galleries in Chelsea.
 Unfortunately for me in terms of the rest of the walk the tour took so long that it wasn't feasible for me to go onto the galleries or the Highline.

Instead I left the group on 23rd Street and headed home and then off to Paris cinema on 58th Street to see Quartet. What a treat of a movie. We settled into the theatre trying to warm up after waiting out in the chilling wind on 58th street. The movie soon warmed us and made us laugh and cry.
The "G" stand for geometry- nothing can be built without geometry


It was snowing when we came out of the theatre and so scuttled across to the Plaza Hotel in an effort to find warmth and dinner.
It was not to be after a brief review of the food hall under the hotel we nabed two cabs (five don't fit in one cab) and we headed to Ktchn a restaurant on 42nd Street. Yet another treat.
 Fabulous food, service, company and a lovely meal.

But wait there was more. We went on to sing at Marie's Crisis


So four things i love in one day...


1. Getting to know New York City




2. Movies




3. Dinner with friends



4. Singing
