Lynn’s very dear friend (and totally unrelated Big Sister) is married to Jimmy. Jimmy has an aunt who live in a swanky 6th Ave. apartment, just like Eva Gabor in Green Acres. (Not Zsa Zsa, mind you. It was Eva).

Aunt Grace is delighted to host a mini-soiree at her place for members of Lynn’s (aka Mommy’s) big Carnegie Hall performance. (Have I promoted that enough, yet?)

Oh. And, here’s the view. Only so-so.

Dahlin’ I love you, but give me Park Avenue. Da-dut Da-DUT-dut. Dut! Dut!

We head over to Rockefeller Center. And here are a couple photos that prove we all went:

Daddy’s mother used to work there on the 46th floor in the ’60s. And, she’s scared of heights.

Dapper Daddy and Julianna

Snapped by a homeless man. Or, the choir’s Regina. Can’t remember whch.

But… And here’s the secret, REAL reason we went to New York. Screw Carnegie Hall.

PIZZA!

So, we head up to Greenwich Village, and make a bee line for Ben’s Pizzeria (As featured in Louis CK’s show “Louie.”) Most Famous Pizza in the World. Also, pretty damn good.

Ask for the Louis special. It’s Hilarious. No, seriously, it’s called “Hilarious.” You can catch it on HBO.
