I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Theater Thursday - Kitty Daddy

We received a complimentary ticket to Kitty Daddy for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own. 

What: Kitty Daddy 

Where: 59E59 Theaters
             59 E. 59 St.
             New York, NY

Who: Recommended for Ages 10 and Up

When: July 9, July 11, July 19


Kitty Daddy is a love story. It may not be a romantic love story, but that doesn't make it any less touching and beautiful. This is the story about the deep bond between a man and his cat. 

Bob Brader never wanted a cat. He never even cared about cats. Then, he somehow ended up with Jade. Jade was only supposed to be with Bob temporarily but he quickly wormed his way into Bob's heart, and that was it. 

Anyone who has ever loved an animal can relate to this heartwarming story. It will make you laugh, smile, and cry a little bit, too. 


And that's our view. The remaining performance of Kitty Daddy at 59E59 Theatres is sold out, but for more about the show, which is part of 59E59's East to Edinburgh Festival and will soon be heading to said festival, or to purchase tickets to see it there, visit www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/kitty-daddy

Tune in Saturday for Still More Theatre Saturday.

Where-To-Go Wednesday: Roy J. Zuckerberg Hall of American Silver

We received complimentary tickets to the New York Historical for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.


What: Roy J. Zuckerberg Hall of American Silver

Where: New York Historical
             170 Central Park W.
             New York, NY

Who: All ages

When: Ongoing



In the early 19th century, New York was the country's biggest port. Accordingly, many silver retailers and manufacturers were based there, including Charles Louis Tiffany and John B. Young, who established the prestigious Tiffany & Co. The Roy J. Zuckerberg Hall of American Silver at the New York Historical houses a large collection of these early silver items, offering a unique look at early New York history.


The collection includes approximately 120 items. Among them are both practical pieces, like silverware, plates, and items for serving coffee or tea, plus more decorative items like awards, trophies, and even a sword and scabbard. Highlights of the collection include the oldest teapot made in New York and a special punch bowl made by Tiffany and Co. to celebrate the opening of the Woolworth Building.
