Darlings, I learn something new every day! If I had not read Emma Straub's new book, "This Time Tomorrow,"--which, by the way, is another fine literary endeavor by Emma--for all that I prowled the Upper West Side in my youth, I would never have heard of Pomander Walk, located in the upper nineties.
So, when I read of it, in Emma's book, and saw these pics, I was enchanted. To hell with the Dakota or San Remo, I want to live in a peaceful enclave, like something out of a book. And this little spot of heaven is it. As I posted awhile back, I still have not given up on Sutton Place. Nor have I relinquished my Beekman Place/"MAME" fantasies. But the exclusivity and almost Victorian country setting so appeals to my aesthetic sensibilities that I could not resist.
Now, don't get your panties wrenched, dolls! Having posted earlier this week about our ten-year anniversary in Bay Ridge, no one is deserting where we are, at any time soon. Baby Gojira simply would not have it. But if one thinks about the future, something Straub's book touches on, Pomander Walk could be a perfect place for two elderly gentlemen such as David and myself. Wait till he reads this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
