Italy???? No. Park Avenue
The small chapel off the transcept of St. Bart's at 50th Street. Chant there; the sound resounds and doubles on itself. Only 4 chairs. Great place in Manhattan to stop.
They always welcome you.
More to come- Linnie

POETS HOUSE FULL OF ART
Poets House, in Battery Park, is filled with open reading space, big views of the Hudson, and 50 thousand volumes of contempory poetry. The art is funky and beat, like sone of the poets. A great free space to read and write, or research!
Give yourself a Membership as a holiday gift!

Father Christmas?
Looks like Old St. Nick. But no--he's King David, as in Goliath.
This window at Trinity Church in Boston depicts Solomon, son of David, being charged with building the Temple. David would not live to see his Temple, designed from a dream.
In this holiday season, enjoy your family,
knowing that you will be charged with
fewer family obligations than Solomon!
