weekend blather
it was a real summery weekend
sadly
its over
rain is expected through wednesday
this is one wet june
ugh
fridaycation
was spent
with
a good friend
we went to the whitney
we had lunch
in
the cafe
its on the 8th floor
its got a terrace
in fact
floors three through 8
have lovely terraces
with
seating
views
and
art
that rivals the views
before we went
i called to see if reservations were needed
i thought
untitled
(the clever name of the restaurant)
was where we wanted to dine
well
no
its on the ground floor
while
i am sure the food is good
there's no view
so
after we got there
we opted for the cafe
sitting outdoors under an umbrella
yielded
immediate seating
vs
a 15 minute wait to sit indoors
and
look out the glass wall
or
ogle the other diners looking out
a no brainer
the move downtown for the whitney
i heard
was a tough choice
the whitney family worried
no one would come
now
you can't keep them away
renzo piano
designed the building
i am in love with this building
it reminds me
tho probably no one else
of
the getty in los angeles
both
are
open airy using lots of natural light
another thing i like about it
it contrast sharply with the rest of its neighbors
i digress
saturday
was spent
in an equally lovely way
my beautiful goddaughter
was in town
for law school friend's wedding shower
i was/am thrilled
she had time to meet me for brunch
we also dined outdoors
it was an almost humidity free day
spring kitchen on columbus
is
noisy indoors
but
a delight
if weather permits
to sit outdoors
sunday
was
devoted to beautification
being a sloth
thinking
about
monday
a full plate weekend
i hope you had a good one
