Our Winter 2006 New York City Recommendations

- David Smith at the Guggenheim (I love David Smith because he has a sculpture called Becca, 1964, which would be me, but this show was a total revelation, and the Guggenheim is a great kid museum because it's a manageable size, the ramp is just too fun, and the audio is free)

- Rauschenberg's combines at the Met

- the Confino Family Apartment tour at the Tenement Museum (with a great actress/guide who stayed totally in character as the family's daughter while we all peppered her with questions about tenement life--and let me just tell you that after hearing how ten people fit into that tiny apartment, Uncle J and Aunt M's apartment never seemed so spacious) (spatious? spashus?)

- Rabbit Hole (excellent writing and superb acting, especially from Tyne Daly and John Slattery, though we thought Cynthia Nixon was the weak link)

- dim sum at the place upstairs in the mini-mall below the bridge

- Citarella miniature tarts

- K's twins and C's youngest (I think I got to hold babies for three hours on Sunday, and they were all--babies and hours--delightful) (we adore C's oldest too, but she had a fever and stayed home)

And of course Aunt M, Uncle J, A, H&H, and the park.
