I\u2019M ON MY WAY TO NEW YORK AGAIN!<\/h1>\n

For the first time in my entire life, I haven\u2019t set foot in New York for\u2026three whole years! I moved out to Los Angeles as a teen-ager, but as my parents were lifelong Brooklynites, I went back home at least twice a year. And then from 1999 (when my father died,) until 2014, (when I finally gave up my childhood home that I cleared out for three years after my little mo became an angel,) I was basically bi-coastal; I went back and forth constantly.<\/p>\n

So after that, without having the comfort of my own house and car there, I stopped going to the Big Apple. I did<\/em> pay one three-week visit three years ago, and, shockingly, had the time of my life! I had dreaded that trip, but it worked-out better than I could have ever hoped. To this day, I can still tell you what I did every day and night on that trip\u2014it was that<\/em> special.<\/p>\n

And then\u2026I haven\u2019t had time to go back there since! Until today<\/em>, that is!<\/p>\n

So, wish me luck! Even though everyone thinks of me as the most confident person, I do get a tad nervous when I\u2019m sort-of at the mercy of others. And in such a gigantic city where I have so many fewer pals and business contacts than I do at home.<\/p>\n

I am planning on having lots of big city adventures, though, so keep checking this e-zine for those tales. I intend to review restaurants, parties, plays, and anything fun, in general. (But first, I still have a few Los Angeles events to tell you about this week.)<\/p>\n

I want to thank a few of my east coast peeps in advance, including my thankfully easy-going host Manny, my friend Lauren who looks-out for me like a sister, and Sheila, my most fun friend who\u2019s more on my wavelength than just about anybody else I\u2019ve ever known!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m ready for New York City now\u2014I just hope that it\u2019s ready for me<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
