Looking for
a fun New York "day getaway"? We fell in love ... with Wave
Hill located on 28 stunning acres along the Hudson
River in the Riverdale section of Bronx,
New York, which is a
stunning oasis to relax, refresh, and enjoy art and nature. Their slogan is "A
public garden and cultural center," and on the day we visited there
were beautiful gardens to explore, new art installations
in their galleries, and dance performances by Pigeonwing Dance . Although we were
only 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan, it felt like we were worlds away. Easily
accessible by car, Metro-North train, subway, and bus, Wave Hill is the perfect
place to spend the day for New Yorkers, Tri-Staters, or "Big Apple" visitors.

hysterical! Menopause: The Musical runs from June 15 until June

Khia Nelson owner and creator of K Bloody Mary Mix is a self-confessed
"Bloody Mary Snob," and her no-alcohol drink-ready K Bloody Mary Mix is
downright delectable. Khia used her years of hospitality experience to create
her small-batch Bloody Mary Mix made in Brooklyn, New York that is not only
delicious, its vegan, organic, and gluten-free.
Add vodka, tequila, mezcal, sake, or gin, or serve K Bloody Mary Mix on
its own and you have the makings for a great party. For us, holidays and brunches
would not be the same without our tradition of Bloody Mary cocktails as they
are the perfect go-to cocktail, however in addition to creating cocktails with K
Bloody Mary Mix, we also used it as a base for some very tasty culinary
recipes. Cheers and Bon Appetit!

Never
underestimate the power of a woman, or in the case of the award-winning film HIVE,
the power of many women. The film is based on the true story of Fahrije Hoti who
inspires her neighbors with her enterprising spirit to provide for their
families after the war in Kosovo (1998-1999) when so many men from their village
went missing. Shown as part of the Greenwich International Film Festival 2022, it is a "must see" film.
