New York, New York! Always great to spend time in the Big Apple. Arrived on Friday morning for a long weekend. Weather is perfect and expected to be all weekend! First stop, the MET museum to see the Superfine exhibit. Amazing. Wonderful soundtrack use of β€œGoing Home” by Alice Coltrane, too. β€οΈπŸŽΆπŸ™πŸΎ

It was cool seeing a framed copy of the β€œThe Black Male” cover of Ebony magazine from August 1972 at the Superfine exhibition at the Met Museum in NYC. I was born that month. β€οΈπŸ’šπŸ–€

I also checked out the wonderful Lorna Simpson Source Notes photography exhibition at the Met museum in NYC after seeing the Superfine exhibit there yesterday. Amazing Black Art. β€οΈπŸ™πŸΎ

After the Met museum, I checked out the Museum of Broadway in NYC. I love Broadway and I love museums (I am a member of the board of trustees of @americanwritersmuseum.org), so I knew I would love this museum and I did! β€οΈπŸŽΆπŸ™πŸΎπŸŽ­

Speaking of Broadway, after visiting the Museum of Broadway, it was time to go see β€œPurpose.” But first, a light snack at Sardi’s.

β€œPurpose” on Broadway was magnificent. So very glad I got to see it before it closes August 31!

Getting ice cream from an ice cream truck on a beautiful Saturday summer evening in front of a brownstone in Brooklyn is one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. Thank you to hostess @paulaedgar.bsky.social. She always makes things fun and special. πŸ¨πŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ’œπŸ™πŸΎπŸ¦
