MY POSSIBLE TRIP TO NEW YORK FOR THE SUMMER<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because of my precious Clarence\u2019s difficult health situation right now, I\u2019ve postponed my summer trip to New York. But there are several things I\u2019m planning to do there, for fun and review purposes, so I want to tell you about a few of them, for those of you who are there now. I\u2019d hate you to miss them just because I may have to.<\/p>\n

Ringling Bros. Circus in Coney Island<\/strong>–this is the one that you absolutely can\u2019t miss, especially if you have children with you. I went to it last summer and it was fabulous. (Last year\u2019s review: http:\/\/www.itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/2009\/10\/06\/coney-island-boom-a-ring%e2%80%8f-circus\/.<\/a>) It\u2019s a different edition this year, so I\u2019m hoping they can keep up the great work. I\u2019m just about positive that they can!<\/p>\n

This year, the show is called Illuscination<\/em>, and I expect to see even a bit of close-up magic, along with traditional circus acts. I believe it\u2019s one ring again, which makes it so intimate. I love that!<\/p>\n

If you go see the show before I get the chance to review it for you, don\u2019t forget to get there an hour early for the free-to-ticket-holders All Access Pre-show. It\u2019s great! You get to meet the performers, learn some easy circus skills, and see animals close-up and personal.<\/p>\n

Last year, I forgot to review the food court for you, so hopefully, I\u2019ll remember to do that this time. It\u2019s just that I get kind-of stupid in the heat, so I\u2019ll ask my junior reviewers to try to remember for me.<\/p>\n

The Hamptons<\/strong>–I\u2019m planning to be doing several restaurant reviews there, including Oso at Southampton Inn<\/strong>, which sounds wonderful to me, and a second trip to the recently re-opened Madame Tong\u2019s Redeux<\/strong>. (I know, I know, my grammatical pals–the real word is \u201credux<\/em>,” but this is how the restaurant spells it, so I have to write it like this.) I stopped by for some appetizers in it\u2019s last incarnation, and my mouth is watering to return.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m planning to be there for Super Saturday, my favorite event in the Hamptons all year, and the one that turned around my feelings for the entire resort area. I hadn\u2019t been a fan before, but once I got to this event a few years ago, I vowed to go back every summer. I\u2019m keeping my fingers crossed that I get there this year.<\/p>\n

Via dei Mille<\/strong>–for my touch of class in the city, I\u2019m planning on paying a return visit to this happening eatery. I had written a review of it when it first opened for my column at BeverlyHillsPeople.com, but, due to many personnel changes, the web guys never got it posted. It\u2019s a couple of years later, so that info may not be applicable for this site now, so I\u2019m going to try my hardest to get to them again. I\u2019m glad to see that they\u2019re still going strong all this time later because that is rare in the restaurant business.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nathan\u2019s<\/strong>–And last, but always best to me, will be my multiple visits to the hallowed Nathan\u2019s in Coney Island. I may not be a challenger for their famous hot dog eating contest, but I can pack down a dog or two with the best of them. And I still covet those skinny red forks that come with the only fat fries I eat. I\u2019m dreaming of the experience right now!<\/p>\n

Hopefully, I\u2019ll see all you New Yorkers very soon, with a smile on face. So save a dog and a clown for me, please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
