Scenes from: Italian Street Painting Festival

Street painting is a European tradition which dates back to the 16th century.  Beginning in 1999, this art form has been a featured event at Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.  All the Artists use special pastel colors to bring to life photographs, rich in local and national significance.  As you can see, nuanced and bold strokes gave the work fluidity and dimension.

Atlantic City- Borgata Casino

In honor of a friend’s birthday, a group of friends headed to south shores of New Jersey for some gambling, dinning and clubbing fun.
We stayed at the Borgata Resort and Casino. The hotel is top notch with such great decor details. I had a great time and look forward to the next group trip where attempts will be made at more adventurous betting.

Next, we waddled our way over to East Village Social to sang some happy hour drinks. Upon our departure, we stumbled on this Art exhibit, in Tompkins Square Park.

The last stop, on our 10 mile walk, ended with white wine, assorted fresh breads and olives at a brand spanking new Lois. It felt great to sit. The food was very fresh and the aroma coming from the kitchen was out of this world, bread pudding and caramel. We were lucky enough to grab seats at the opened windows, which gave us a great view of the gorgeous ceiling and passersby.
