I am excited. So is Friday’s blogger. So is my co-NotY (from 2011) and “my” GC. GOtham GREEN® announces the 2021 Gotham Green Awards® this week. Yes, in advance of Thanksgiving, Tuesday, November 23 at 4:00 p.m. we will present an eclectic and diverse group of winners. While we know who, you have to join the Zoom to find out. Gotham Green Awar …
Friday I decided the time had come to substantially close down the deck and patio for the upcoming winter. Part of the problem involved the level of plans that reduced expected opportunities to use the space much over the next several weeks. Call it crowded calendar syndrome; not a bad thing; indeed we enjoyed early plans last night (More on that …
GOtham GREEN® recently made the 2021 Gotham Green Awards® applications available. GOtham GREEN® , which provides a platform for businesses and professionals who seek to connect and promote sustainable business opportunities, practices and relationships, this year hold its awards program during Thanksgiving week on, Tuesday, November 23 at 4:00 …
When we selected a new date to announce the Gotham Green Awards® – delayed by the COVID 19 Pandemic and originally planned a week following Earth Day 2020 – I proposed just ahead of Thanksgiving. So as Wednesday’s blogger, Carly Meyer Bentley, shared last week, Gotham held its ceremony last Tuesday, November 17. Eight awardees. Our new Gotham Green …
(Editor’s note: This blog got superseded by “Ruth” last week in recognition of the passing of the true Wonderwoman) I enjoy recognizing those who make a difference in our communities and the world. This explains my involvement in the Gotham Green Awards®. Established by Gotham City Networking, Inc.® and GOtham GREEN®, the awards recognize peop …
I generally know the topic of a blog in advance and, today, I expected to urge folks to apply and/or encourage others to apply for the Gotham Green Awards®. Circumstances changed and how. Between dinner and dessert Friday eve, I learned that we lost a veritable national treasure — Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Ruth Bad …
The other day one of my young (yes young) basketball (Our school gym has been closed since schools closed in March and we remain without any word on a possible re-start.) players texted he is part of an outdoor summer “free, socially distant” concert in downtown Jamaica. I responded there were plans that eve to see one of my all-time faves in the S …
This time of year, I usually look to gather lists of summer concerts, many free, to recommend. Not this year. Often, the discussions about music involve what great show got canceled, postponed or rescheduled. Not sure how many texts and emails I’ve exchanged with my friend Jason about changes involving shows planned at Jones Beach this year. We’ve …
No secret to frequent followers of this blog, and to many (most? All?) who know me how much I enjoy music, especially of a certain genre. Yesterday, I saw a tweet between two City Council Members I know that I think was trying to equate the quality and state of music today to politics today and a comparison to an earlier era. I replied my view that …
Last weekend we celebrated 34. The actual anniversary fell one week ago today; I noted it in last week’s blog (‘Cause it matters). We chose to officially celebrate on the eve before. Interestingly, we chose the “events” based on an unplanned interruption several weeks earlier. I scored “twofer” tickets for Jersey Boys on February 16 at the New Wo …
I enjoy recognizing those who make a difference in our communities and the world. This explains my involvement in the Gotham Green Awards® – established by Gotham City Networking, Inc.® and Gotham Green® – which recognize people, businesses and organizations that work on environmentally sustainable initiatives and projects. Indeed, as co-chair o …
Best wishes in this first weekend of the new year. Many recent Gotham blogs looked ahead and share resolutions and predictions for this year. Instead, I continue practice to share a list compiled and commentary posted to my website on the top ten shows I attended in the year just ended. Hope you find the list -- 1) John Fogerty and ZZ Top 2) Th …
Going into this weekend, I planned no blog relating to music. Indeed, I thought a lot about the theme Gotham’s webmaster covered yesterday. As with much of my writing, things change. Then we attended a concert at the now named Theatre at Westbury which used to have Music Fair in its moniker. My familiarity with the music and that the performers inc …
This afternoon, Gotham hosts its annual Battle of the Bands®. In contrast to discussions about politics that tend towards controversy and division, music tends to bring people of different persuasions together. Some of my social media posts (I purposely avoid giving P.R. to either platform in this blog) invite “interesting” comments. Even ar …
On Earth Day Join GOtham Green® in Celebrating Our GOtham Green Awards® winners In advance of Earth Day which we observe today, Gotham Green® hosted its annual Gotham Green Awards® the past Thursday at Club Quarters Midtown. Gotham Green® annually recognizes those who make a difference in our communities and the world by celebrating people and …
