The show was great: superb performances threaded with history. The whole audience jumped with joy at classic songs blasted with energy.
It was especially appropriate for me to wear my beloved red jacket from Lansky Bros. I bought the jacket when I visited Memphis last year. Bernie Lansky designed clothes for Elvis during his early years and this particular design (with vertical stripes) is exactly what Elvis wore before he became famous.
We also had a fabulous meal at The Delta Grill, one of my favorite places. There are over 9,000 restaurants in NYC and only one serves New Orleans food: this one. Even better, it re-creates the atmosphere of NOLA in every respect. (I know this because I went to NOLA last Mardi Gras.)
By the way, what do you think of that shirt? :)
I want to go to there!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a fabulous time. The last play I went to in NYC was Exit the King with Susan Sarandon and OMG, what an amazing play. I'm a big SS fan which made it that much more magical.
Stay warm!

Sounds like fun... and I love that crazy blue shirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by;)

Looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteOooo NYC ! Love the blue shirt in the second photo ! Would love a dress in that material.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day. That hat you saw is too cute! It doesn't get cold enough here to wear anything like that. By the way, a fascinator is the feathery fancy thing you wear in your hair when you go to the horse races. What do you guys call them??

Looks like you had a blast! Im so jealous xx
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures of NYC and really love your shirt! The fabric is wonderful - it looks like a William Morris Liberty print. By the way, is that snow I can see on the ground in the last shot? *sigh*!
ReplyDeleteI need to tell you all about Hillbrow sometime.
ReplyDeleteYour trip into the city looks awesome and the shirt and jacket are so kewl. Especially like the stripes on your jacket.
Thanks for mentioning me on your blog - that's so sweet of you. Guess some things are deeply ingrained - I can imagine I'd have battled with the miles and fahrenheit had our moved materialised ;-), but my daughter seems to be managing just fine.
You're a real honey. Hope your day is fabulous
Love the red jacket. Didn't Elvis wear one of those in one of his movies or on an album cover? I seem to remember that for some odd reason. NYC looks like it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. It was fun and the weather was good for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteAngela, I looked up the word and apparently we use the same term; I had just never heard of it. You're a fashion-maven!

Okay, here's a confession that I'm truly ashamed to admit! I have never been to New York so I am happy (but really jelly) that you were there!
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes on that shirt!

Come say Bonjour at:
20 YORK STREET
i love both your shirts!! it looks like your november is much better than mine so far (do you have a lot of snow in NY? we're getting dumped on in minnesota... more coming tomorrow). if i could pull off that snow hat with ears look, i totally would wear it. in the mean time i'll have to find a cute one for my daughter. :)
ReplyDeleteWinter here isn't too bad and usually starts in December. I've lived through worse in other places (upstate NY; MA). Minnesota is certainly colder.
ReplyDeleteLOVE NY! Looks like you had an amazing time!
