OK OK I know I've been MIA. I catch up on other people's blogs from time to time and came to the realization that my blog has turned to shit lately.

2. Reviews on some fabulous restaurants and some crappy ones I've been to in the past few months.
3. New just in time for the warm weather skin care and make up reviews and updates.
If I can accomplish this in the next week I'll call myself luck.

Another set of fantastic happenings on the Great Lawn in the New York Metropolitan Opera in the Park. However this year they only have one published and listed concert in Prospect Park Brooklyn. Their website contains old unupdated information from last year for Central Park concerts. I'm annoyed. But I cannot find any Central Park concerts for the Opera this year. Oh well.
The rules for park concerts are simple:
Blanket, Candles and take my word on it make sure they are Citronella, Food, Drinks (no glass or alcohol at Summerstage but it’s “ignored and tolerated” on the Great Lawn)
Also this week is Fleet Week in NY so get out there and check out those cute sailors. I'm bringing my camera in tomorrow just to catch the testestronefest around here.
Here is also the New York City 2008 Street Fair Calendar.
