Dear All,

TODAY

If ever there were a spring day so perfect, so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze

that it made you want to throw open all the windows in the house

and unlatch the door to the canary's cage, indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,

a day when the cool brick paths and the garden bursting with peonies

seemed so etched in sunlight that you felt like taking

a hammer to the glass paperweight on the living room end table,

releasing the inhabitants from their snow-covered cottage

so they could walk out, holding hands and squinting

into this larger dome of blue and white,

well,

today is just that kind of day.

(Billy Collins)

Happy Spring!

Warmly,

sue

FEATURED SPRING LISTING

The Ralph Ellison Memorial across the street - with open air Jazz music on weekends in the summer - is a reminder of the magnificent history of this neighborhood. Restaurants and bars like Trattoria BoNo, Bird in Hand, L'Artista, Geisha Sushi, Harlem Public, Uptown Bourbon, the Chipped Cup, and ice cream parlor Sugar Hill Creamery offer consistent culinary quality. Ayten Farrell Hair Salon and The SPAaaht are trusted beauty spots. The post office, City MD and pharmacies are around the corner, as are 5 subway lines 1, A,B,C,D as well as M5, M4, M3, M100 and M101 buses. Access to the West Side Highway is a breeze.

Riverside Park with its many offerings is the green lung of the area - you will love having it right in front of your door!
