Weekend in Tarrytown

May 25-26 - spent the weekend in Westchester County, for Matt and Amanda's wedding. The wedding took place at the beautiful Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown, NY. Lots of pics here. Congrats Matt and Amanda!

On the afternoon of the 26th, we left for Marblehead... more soon

Wow, this blog is really out of date! It's not that I haven't been doing anything fun in the past few months...

May 18-21: with Dad in town, visited the Guggenheim Museum, where the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit "I Want to Believe" was on display (and about to close). The nine-car installation called Inopportune: Stage One was by far the most impressive piece, and worth the price of admission.

On Tuesday, attended the New York Philharmonic's performance of Broadway's Greatest Showstoppers, featuring Kristin Chenowith, Raul Esparza, Michel Bell, and J. Mark McVey. The program included "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables (one of the highlights), "Ol' Man River" from Show Boat, and "Glitter and Be Gay" from Candide. The Chenowith-Esparza duets "Tonight" (West Side Story) and the surprise "Anything You Can Do" (Annie Get Your Gun) were fantastic. You can read the NYT review here.

Oh, and some good eats at Otto and Molyvos (Greek, in midtown). Thanks Dad!

May 10-11: in Rochester visiting Javier and Angie (Jeff and Katie were also in town). This weekend was the Rochester Lilac Festival in Highland Park. The only thing prettier than the lilacs was the delicious breakfast at Unkl Moe's.
