a/n: I was watching a rainy day in new york for the first time tonight after rehearsal and I think this film changed my outlook on many things

masterlist

“Tabbie? Is that you? What’s wrong?” He entered the kitchen where you were cutting vegetables. He didn’t go over to give you a kiss like you were accustomed to, instead he kicked the trash can.

“I don’t know.” He ran his hand through his hair. “It’s possible I guess.”

“What’s possible? Use your words.”

“That, that I left my wallet on the subway!”

“How- Why would you leave your wallet on the subway?”

“I don’t know! That’s not like me. I don’t forget things!”

“Well you did today Gatsby.”

“Gatsby. God woman, why do you insist on calling me Gatsby?”

“God, why do you call me ‘woman’! For christ's sake Gatsby you left your wallet on the subway. No big deal. Just call, cancel your cards, and get a new one. People lose wallets all the time.”

“Yes but not Gatsby Welles! I don't forget things.”

“For heaven's sake Tabbie, relax! Sit down, have a glass of wine. Let’s go out to Le Corbeau tonight, like we used to. We can sit in one of those leather couches in the back with the cigarette ashes and listen to the piano while we gaze into each other’s eyes. Doesn’t that sound nice.”

His eyebrows lowered down from his face and his cheeks began to glow. Here came the Gatsby humor you were well acquainted with. “But you're forgetting something darling: I don’t have my wallet.”

“You might be a successful businessman, but don’t you forget: I was successful too.”

“Oh, how could I forget? With a voice like that? Darling you were an angel. Listening to you sing was like seeing light for the first time. I fell in love before I even spoke a word to you.” He moved in to engulf you in his arms, pulling you in from behind.

“You tell me this every day.”

“And good for you to remember it. I don’t deserve you my love. I could live a thousand lives and never come close to your purity.”

“My love you need look only in the mirror.”

“You flatter me.”

“You flatter yourself.”

“I know you didn’t mean that my bird.”

“If I am a bird then your arms are my cage and yet I sit content within.”

“I have a better idea. Why don’t we take a walk in the park? The city is so beautiful in the rain.”

“So long as we can stop underneath the clock tower and dance to its song.” You pressed your lips gently onto his.

“Will you sing for me?”

You sat down at the piano in the great room. You stretched your fingers before letting them dance over the keys.

Someday, when I'm awfully low, When the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm, And your cheeks so soft, There is nothing for me but to love you, And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows, Tearin' my fear apart, And that laugh wrinkles your nose, Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change, Keep that breathless charm, Won't you please arrange it?, 'Cause I love you, A-just the way you look tonight

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, don't you ever change, Keep that breathless charm, Won't you please arrange it?, 'Cause I love you, A-just the way you look tonight

Mm-mm, mm-mm, Just the way you look tonight

Gatsby had joined you at the piano bench while you played. He said nothing during the course of your performance but at its close, he lifted your hand from its ending note and brought it to his lips. “Darling, oh my darling, it’s you who looks beautiful.”

Every day I wonder why the gods hate me so much, as clearly my ideal job would be holding one of those umbrellas to protect this handsome man from the sun.🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Is there a fee to walk or drive across the Brooklyn Bridge?

The iconic Brooklyn Bridge stands as a testament to engineering prowess and connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Its majestic towers and web of cables make it a must-visit landmark for tourists and locals alike. However, a common question arises among those planning to traverse this architectural marvel: Is there a fee to walk or drive across the Brooklyn Bridge? In this article, we'll explore the details surrounding access fees, if any, and shed light on the experience of crossing this historic structure.

Walking Across the Brooklyn Bridge:

One of the most popular activities for both tourists and New Yorkers is walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. The good news for pedestrians is that there is no fee to walk across the bridge. The pedestrian walkway is suspended above the traffic lanes, providing stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, the East River, and the Statue of Liberty. Walking across the bridge is not only a fantastic way to enjoy the scenery but also a great form of exercise.

Biking Across the Brooklyn Bridge:

Similarly, biking across the Brooklyn Bridge is a popular choice for cyclists. The bridge features a designated bike lane, allowing riders to enjoy the journey between Manhattan and Brooklyn with ease. Much like walking, there is no fee for cyclists to cross the bridge. Biking provides a unique perspective and a quicker mode of transportation, making it a favorite option for commuters.

Driving Across the Brooklyn Bridge:

Unlike walking and biking, driving across the Brooklyn Bridge does not come without a cost. There is no toll for vehicles heading from Brooklyn to Manhattan. However, vehicles traveling from Manhattan to Brooklyn are subject to a toll. It's essential to note that toll policies can change, so it's advisable to check with the relevant authorities or online resources for the most up-to-date information.

Tips for a Memorable Brooklyn Bridge Experience:

Timing Matters: Consider walking or biking during less crowded times to fully enjoy the experience without the hustle and bustle of heavy pedestrian traffic.

Photography Opportunities: The Brooklyn Bridge offers fantastic photo opportunities. Capture the breathtaking views, the intricate architecture, and the cityscape from different vantage points.

Weather Awareness: Be mindful of the weather, as the experience can vary significantly based on conditions. A sunny day might provide clear views, while a foggy or rainy day can add a touch of mystery to your journey.

Conclusion:

In summary, there is no fee to walk or bike across the Brooklyn Bridge, making it a cost-effective and enjoyable activity for residents and visitors alike. However, drivers heading from Manhattan to Brooklyn should be aware of toll charges. Whether you're interested in a leisurely stroll, an invigorating bike ride, or a scenic drive, the Brooklyn Bridge offers an iconic and memorable experience for all.

Women’s History Month: Nonfiction Recommendations

Sisters of Mokama by Jyoti Thottam

New York Times editor Jyoti Thottam’s mother was part of an extraordinary group of Indian women. Born in 1946, a time when few women dared to leave their house without the protection of a man, she left home by herself at just fifteen years old and traveled to Bihar - an impoverished and isolated state in northern India that had been one of the bloodiest regions of Partition - in order to train to be a nurse under the tutelage of the determined and resourceful Appalachian nuns who ran Nazareth Hospital. Like Thottam’s mother’s journey, the hospital was a radical undertaking: it was run almost entirely by women, who insisted on giving the highest possible standard of care to everyone who walked through its doors, regardless of caste or religion.

Fascinated by her mother’s story, Thottam set out to discover the full story of Nazareth Hospital, which had been established in 1947 by six nuns from Kentucky. With no knowledge of Hindi, and the awareness that they would likely never see their families again, the sisters had traveled to the small town of Mokama determined to live up to the pioneer spirit of their order, founded in the rough hills of the Kentucky frontier. A year later, they opened the doors of the hospital; soon they began taking in young Indian women as nursing students, offering them an opportunity that would change their lives. One of those women, of course, was Thottam’s mother.

In Sisters of Mokama, Thottam draws upon twenty years’ worth of research to tell this inspiring story for the first time. She brings to life the hopes, struggles, and accomplishments of these ordinary women - both American and Indian - who succeeded against the odds during the tumult and trauma of the years after World War II and Partition. Pain and loss were everywhere for the women of that time, but the collapse of the old orders provided the women of Nazareth Hospital with an opening - a chance to create for themselves lives that would never have been possible otherwise.

The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson

When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would.

Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his codiscovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions.

After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is an “enthralling detective story” (Oprah Daily) that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

The Doctors Blackwell by Janice P. Nimura

Elizabeth Blackwell believed from an early age that she was destined for a mission beyond the scope of "ordinary" womanhood. Though the world at first recoiled at the notion of a woman studying medicine, her intelligence and intensity ultimately won her the acceptance of the male medical establishment. In 1849, she became the first woman in America to receive an M.D. She was soon joined in her iconic achievement by her younger sister, Emily, who was actually the more brilliant physician.

Exploring the sisters’ allies, enemies, and enduring partnership, Janice P. Nimura presents a story of trial and triumph. Together, the Blackwells founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, the first hospital staffed entirely by women. Both sisters were tenacious and visionary, but their convictions did not always align with the emergence of women’s rights - or with each other. From Bristol, Paris, and Edinburgh to the rising cities of antebellum America, this richly researched new biography celebrates two complicated pioneers who exploded the limits of possibility for women in medicine. As Elizabeth herself predicted, "a hundred years hence, women will not be what they are now."

The Queens of Animation by Nathalia Holt

From Snow White to Moana, from Pinocchio to Frozen, the animated films of Walt Disney Studios have moved and entertained millions. But few fans know that behind these groundbreaking features was an incredibly influential group of women who fought for respect in an often ruthless male-dominated industry and who have slipped under the radar for decades.

In The Queens of Animation, bestselling author Nathalia Holt tells their dramatic stories for the first time, showing how these women infiltrated the boys' club of Disney's story and animation departments and used early technologies to create the rich artwork and unforgettable narratives that have become part of the American canon. As the influence of Walt Disney Studios grew - and while battling sexism, domestic abuse, and workplace intimidation - these women also fought to transform the way female characters are depicted to young audiences.

With gripping storytelling, and based on extensive interviews and exclusive access to archival and personal documents, The Queens of Animation reveals the vital contributions these women made to Disney's Golden Age and their continued impact on animated filmmaking, culminating in the record-shattering Frozen, Disney's first female-directed full-length feature film.

NEW YORK

New York was a dream and this time around I got to enjoy the city differently. My first time to NYC was in 2018 with my mum and since it was my first time there I wanted to do all the touristy things and visit iconic movie landmarks. This time around the itinerary was different for my husband and I.

We got to take it a day at a time, visiting landmarks I've saved on my Pinterest and TikTok. We stayed on 42nd St which was directly next to Grand Central in the bustle of the city but my favourite spot from this trip has to be Brooklyn/Williamsburg.

I shared some of my recs via the different neighbourhoods we visited throughout our trip on my Instagram Broadcast channel but listing them all down below for an easier read :)

Coffee chains I visited around the city:

What I ordered -

Blue Bottle - Sweet Coffee

Bluestone Lane - Iced Honey Oat Latte

Brooklyn/Williamsburg:

What I ordered -

L'Appertement 4F - possibly my favourite and most memorable bakery spot ever. There was something about its cozy ambience as your approach their store in Brooklyn. It is the girl bakery dream. We had an Everything croissant and it was so fluffy, flavourful and the perfect type of savoury croissant.

Poppy's Brooklyn - matcha with pistachio milk! my first time trying pistachio milk and enjoyed the mix of matcha and pistachio.

Vinnies Brooklyn - come and stay for their elote pizza and add extra hot sauce ;)

Levain Bakery - a chain so you’ll find this everywhere but we went to the one at Williamsburg! Got the triple chocolate chip cookie yum.

Bakeri Brooklyn - the coziest looking bakery tucked in the midst of Williamsburg - I could imagine a cozy rainy day here. I saw a lot of people getting their soup of the day but we just got their Christmas special triple chocolate peppermint cookie.

East Village:

What I ordered -

From Lucie - oat milk latte with lavender (I’m not going to lie this may have been my favourite coffee so far) and we took away their mini carrot cake with vanilla frosting

Tompkins Square Bagels - everything bagel with cream cheese, the perfect bagel order when you’re not looking for a lot of things!

Katz Deli - some say pastrami, I say where Harry meets Sally. A wide menu to choose from, Ashwyn had their pastrami sandwich (as they’re famous for) and I had the cucumbers and pickles on the side with their house mustard which I loved.

SoHo:

What I ordered -

Eileen's Cheesecake - I don’t like cheesecake so this was for Ashwyn! He loves a good cheesecake anywhere. He got a strawberry tart and he said it was good and crumbly.

Sporty & Rich Cafe - when in SoHo and in NY, I had to… got the Smoothie #1 on their menu which was a mix of berries. It was yum and a large size.

Aime Leon Dore Cafe - also when in NY’s SoHo… known for their Freddo Espresso but we just got a cookie to go! Was caffeinated 2x by the time we got here.

Pop Up Bagels - we took away an Everything bagel and a Salted Poppyseed bagel with a tub of scallion schmear, this was soooo good.

La Cabra Coffee - took away their oat latte and it was divine.

Kips Bay:

What I ordered -

Birch Coffee - An everything croissant (you can tell that we had quite a bit of an “everything” something and all of it has been so good) and an iced honey oat latte + a hot vanilla oat latte.

Bryant Park/5th Avenue:

What I ordered -

Sweet Green - I’ve seen so much about it online, I just had to try it IRL. Loved my kale salad combo - crispy kale, miso glazed salmon, spicy cashew dressing, breadcrumbs, chilli flakes yum.

Suki Japanese Kitchen - a Japanese curry house; we both got the curry rice and tried it at different spice levels. Ashwyn got a 3 and I got a 5 ;)

Baked by Melissa - a city cupcake chain. We tried their mini Christmas sugar cookie, PB&J and cookie dough.

Magnolia Bakery - home of the best banana pudding in town and you know it.

New Year Celebrations Around the World: A Cultural Journey, All kinds of New Year celebrations

Join me on a cultural journey as we explore the history and traditions of New Year celebrations in different countries. From fireworks to feasts, learn about the unique ways people ring in the new year across the globe.

today we'll be exploring how different countries celebrate this special occasion. So sit back, relax, and let's take a journey across the globe.

Let's start with one of the most iconic New Year celebrations - Times Square in New York City. Every year, millions of people gather to watch the famous ball drop at midnight. But did you know that this tradition actually started in 1907 with a giant illuminated ball made of iron and wood? Today, it's made of Waterford crystal and weighs over 11,000 pounds!

Now let's travel to Asia where many countries celebrate the Lunar New Year. In China, this holiday is also known as Spring Festival and is celebrated for 15 days with dragon dances, red lanterns, and fireworks. Each year is represented by an animal from the Chinese zodiac.

In Japan, New Year's Day is called Oshogatsu and is a time for family gatherings and traditional foods like mochi (sticky rice cakes). At midnight on December 31st, Buddhist temples ring their bells 108 times to symbolize purging oneself of worldly desires.

Nowruz is the Persian New Year and the most important celebration in Iran. It marks the beginning of spring and is celebrated on the first day of the Iranian calendar. The celebrations last for 13 days and include various traditions such as cleaning the house, visiting family and friends, exchanging gifts, and preparing special dishes. People also gather around a Haft-Seen table, which includes seven items that symbolize different aspects of life.

Moving on to Europe, many countries have their own unique traditions for celebrating New Year's Eve. In Spain, it's customary to eat 12 grapes at midnight - one for each chime of the clock. In Scotland, Hogmanay is a three-day celebration that includes bonfires, street parties, and the famous "first footing" tradition where the first person to enter a home after midnight brings gifts for good luck.

In Latin America, New Year's Eve is known as Nochevieja and is celebrated with music, dancing, and fireworks. In Brazil, it's common to wear white clothing and jump over seven waves in the ocean for good luck. And in Mexico, families build effigies called "muñecos" to represent the old year and burn them at midnight.

Finally, let's travel to Africa where many countries celebrate New Year's Day with colorful parades and festivals. In South Africa, it's traditional to eat black-eyed peas for good luck and prosperity. And in Ethiopia, they celebrate Enkutatash (which means "gift of jewels") on September 11th according to their calendar. This holiday marks the end of the rainy season and the beginning of a new year.

Thank you for joining me on this cultural journey. We hope you learned something new about New Year celebrations around the world. Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast for more cultural explorations.

FOREVER AFTER

1918 / 1919

Forever After is a three-act play by Owen Davis. It was originally produced by William A. Brady starring his daughter, Alice Brady and Conrad Nagel. 

From the day they first met in the schoolhouse in a small New England town, Theodore Wayne, son of a respected lawyer, and Jennie Clapton, daughter of wealthy parents, have been sweethearts. Their romance has progressed into their college years, where Ted has become a big football star on the gridiron. But Jack Randall, the wealthiest boy in town, has also courted Jennie, with the approval of her mother, impressed and blinded by Jack's money. Ted's father dies, and Ted has to leave college to return home to a menial job in order to support his mother. Jennie's love for him never waivers, but her mother convinces Ted that Jennie's happiness hinges on having money and social position. He leaves town, with his mother, and Jennie is heartbroken. Then World War I breaks out.

Alice Brady was doing double duty during the run, making films during the day, and performing in theatre at night. She was nominated for an Oscar in 1937, and won the Award in 1938. She appeared in the play courtesy of Select Films Corp., to which she was under contract. This was her first stage appearance in more than three years.  

During the run of the play, Miss Brady co-starred in a film with her stage co-star Conrad Nagel in Redhead (1919). The film is now considered lost. 

Instead of Atlantic City, the play premiered in Long Branch NJ on August 12, 1918 and then Asbury Park NJ before moving south to Washington DC.  But that doesn’t mean Miss Brady didn’t ‘visit’ Atlantic City - at least in film.  

During the run of Forever After, Brady was also filming The World To Live In (1919) which was partly set in Atlantic City. 

Instead of going on location to the seaside resort, Select Films brought Atlantic City to Brady, by painstakingly recreating the lobby of Atlantic City’s iconic Traymore Hotel (above) at a New York studio. Extras who had vacationed at the Traymore were recruited to verify the accuracy of the recreation. In 2010 HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” also chose to recreate 1920′s Atlantic City in Brooklyn. 

The reason for starting tryouts in Monmouth County was that Brady had a home in Allenhurst NJ on Deal Lake, which is on the northern border of Asbury Park and the Atlantic Ocean. During the run of the play, Brady leased the home to his daughter, although she had very little leisure time to enjoy it. 

Forever After opened on Broadway at the Central Theatre (1567 Broadway at 47th Street) on September 9, 1918. 

About the Venue: From 1921 through 1957, the Central alternated movies and live theatre (including a fair amount of striptease and burlesque). Movies kept it afloat until 1988, when the Shuberts sold it. The theatre lobby became the Roxy Deli and the auditorium became what is now the W Hotel. Forever After was the premiere production of the new 1,100 seat venue. 

“The new theatre is attractively decorated in French gray and old rose, with just a bit of dull gold. The audience last night gave every indication of liking the new play immensely, which should be encouraging to the management, as there are a fearfully large number of seats which people could stay away from in the Centra!.” ~ HEYWOOD BRAUN

It was reported that producer Brady spent $40,000 on the scenery, and another $40,000 on sound effects to imitate the sounds of war. 

Miss Brady’s salary was revealed to be $750 for her stage week, and a further $1,500/week for her screen work. 

"I work in pictures all day. The only rest I ever get is on rainy days, and often I don't get that, because I have to be fitted for new costumes. Ordinarily I get to the studio a little after 9 in the morning and I'm there until 6 in the afternoon. I'm here at the theater about 7:30 and I usually manage to get away about 11:30.“ ~ ALICE BRADY

Miss Brady’s comment about having rainy days off reflects that early filmmaking was done outdoors to capitalize on the sun as a lighting source, instead of lighting interiors in a studio.  

On December 23, 1918 it moved to the Playhouse Theatre (137 West 48th Street).

About the Venue: The Playhouse was a theatre built by William Brady in 1911. When he died and it was sold to the Shuberts. From 1949 to 1952, it was an ABC Radio station. Both the interior and exterior were used in Mel Brooks' movie, "The Producers." In 1969, the theatre was razed to build onto Rockefeller Center.

Between the two venues, the play ran 312 performances, closing on June 7, 1919.  Miss Brady and the play took the summer off, before touring the play in the fall of 1919.  

Forever After opened in Atlantic City at the Globe Theatre on September 25, 1919. Alice Brady was billed as appearing “personally” and “returned to the speaking stage” so readers would not think that Forever After was a film. 

A film version of the play was made in 1926 starring Mary Astor and Lloyd Hughes. Alice Brady, meanwhile, took a decade-long break from film from 1923 to 1933, concentrating on Broadway instead. 

The film opened in Atlantic City at the Stanley Theatre (Boardwalk & Kentucky) on November 3, 1926. 

Saint Laurent Baggage For Girls

It also options an edgy chain-link strap, a foldover flap, and a tonal YSL emblem on the entrance. The white leather Becky, accented with silver-tone hardware as a substitute of gold, provides an icy touch to a fall/winter wardrobe. Better nonetheless, you possibly can continue the tiny-bag development with the mini Becky crossbody bag which, like the Lou, has a more camera-like form. They shall be a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. You can put on your trench to the office, church, date night time, a fall marriage ceremony on a rainy Saturday and extra. https://re-pin.me/ysl-replica-bags.html Saint Laurent luggage are made in quite lots of materials, from leather and velvet, to linen, raffia, and canvas.
