HALLOWEEN

Herald Square

 

LINCOLN CENTER

David Geffen Hall

New York Philharmonic

A video of the performance...

It is a wonderfully produced video of the performance.

Watch and enjoy.

The 26th of October was the FIRST Grand Opening Gala and we stumbled into the arriving procession of the major donors.  We had a glass of white wine and a Manhattan cocktail at that time and we had an hour of fun just watching the people and their gala outfits arriving.

We prepared for the SECOND Grand Opening Gala and added a chocolate chip cookie to the evening.

 

HERALD SQUARE

It's a beautiful autumn day in New York with clear skies and a temperature in the low 60s.

This is Herald Square, one block from our apartment.

 

LINCOLN CENTER

David Geffen Hall

New York Philharmonic

This was our first time to enter the new Geffen Hall.

We were very excited.

We did not buy the gala dinner tickets but arrived to the hall in time to get a Manhattan cocktail and a nice dry white wine to watch the dinner guests arrive.

We are seated in the new lobby area with bars and great seating areas.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer was there.

Roses were the theme and they were everywhere!

These are not our new regular, subscription seats but are only for the Gala.
