Daughter Rebecca and grand-daughter Penelope visited us for a long and eventful weekend during our second week here. Thirteen-year-old Penelope has become quite involved in theater and stagecraft and was able to see her first Broadway show during her stay with us. Also her second and third Broadway shows, plus the Museum of Broadway. Plus a number of other sights and experiences. It was quite a visit.

Beginning at the Harry Poppins store, reputedly the largest such
in the world |
 |
| Butterbeer display |
 |
| "Gandalf, what happened to your staff?" I asked |
 |
| Entrance to the HP bookstore |
 |
Moving right along, Grandma and Grandpa with Gandalf at the
Lego Store |
 |
| History of New York at the Lego Store |
 |
| Ditto |
 |
| At the candy department at Macy's |
 |
Snacking at the Posh Pop bakery; we'd already visited Dominique Ansel
for kouign ammans... |
 |
| The Strand bookstore: 18 miles of books...many of which I've recently sold or given away... |
 |
| Snacking along the way |
 |
| At El Churro |
 |
| That first Broadway Show... |
 |
| With Mama |
 |
| And Grandma |
 |
Next day, second Broadway show, Tony award-winning
Suffs, which Grandpa also attended; and much enjoyed;
just opened in April...all female cast... |
 |
One of Rebecca's former students had a connection with
the production... |
 |
| Suffs merch |
 |
| Rousing conclusion |
 |
Click to enlarge and read; Shaina Taub wrote the story, the
songs, the lyrics, and stars in the show...the story itself having
great historical significance and contemporary relevance too
|
 |
| Cast autographs after the show |
 |
At the office of Bialystock and Bloom, Theatrical Producers, in the
Museum of Broadway |

And finally at the last show, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child;
