I have been to two Uptown galleries today where a staffer has been enjoying delicious-smelling Thai food for lunch. A trend?

This was a very positive experience! I loved my cookie, as always. Thank you!

Pass by Wegmans without buying a cookie from its famous cookie bar? It’s never been done. Folks, it’s never been done.

We need more art fairs. I hear this all the time. Not enough art fairs out there. We need more. All the same galleries in new places. More.
