MacBeth at the Clinton Castle

Well, well, well, Michael and I started our afternoon after work outs at the gym by meeting downtown by Battery Park. Stopped by the Wall Street Tiffany's store to say hello to Joel and then picked up a bite before sitting at the Pier 17 building to see the WATERFALL's along the East River. Beautiful to sit out anywhere on a beautiful day in NYC.

Stopped by the Pacific Grill for a frozen Lime Margarita and then off to the west side via Water Street and Battery Park loop before finding our destination of the Clinton Castle. I found during the day, a listing for MacBeth being performed outside in Battery Park; part of the River to River Fest. When we arrived, to not a person on line waiting for the venue, we were greeted by one of the Park Service people who told us, "they start you outside and then invite you inside to watch the balance of the performance." At that point it was time to reconfigure our evening.

We decided to head up the west side and spend the night in Hastings. Walked from Battery Park to Nisos' and had a quick tequila before hoping in the car for Westchester. Ran into Dennis, David and the usuals at the bar. Swung by the wine shop and picked up a bottle of Gruner Veltliner and a Rioja before shopping at the Fresh A&P to get the necessities for the pasta Michael would effortlessly combine for dinner. Yummy! Calamata olives, grape tomatoes, garlic, capers, fresh basil from the garden, grilled chicken and penne!

Night time for bonzo! Stay tuned for the weekend's festivities. July 4th at the Pines and weekend with the Family in Bayport.
