We talk so much {on our blogs}
about the great new and fabulous things we can buy for our DESIGNER HOMES-
And then there is the real and painful reality happening
right around the corner from the guarded -gated
glitzy-glamorous neighbor hoods some of us live in.
This year in South East Florida
our suicide rate has gone up 31%.
Men & Women in their 50's who can not find work
are writing to the White House.
I know that dark place.
But.... I think that if we just
don't quit before the miracle,
there will be hope.....
Somewhere-Somehow!!

Nowhere is the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie more palpable than in this bastion of post-war decadence: think white-jacket waiters, 24-karat gold leaf ceilings, and nickel-trimmed glass tables splayed around the ivories. Settle into a leather banquette and order something strong and adventurous—perhaps with champagne and cognac or fresh mint and muddled lemons. Murals of frolicking animals painted by bar namesake and former Carlyle Hotel resident Ludwig Bemelmans offer a whimsical counterpoint to what might otherwise be suffocating sophistication (and they repay a close viewing—can you spot the armed rabbit stalking its brethren'). Feel an extra boost knowing you're enjoying pretty much the same thing as the folks across the lobby at Café Carlyle, for a fraction of the cover. — Julie Mehta and Andrew Yamato
At 18 years old I moved to NYC and fell in love with it. I will always consider it my home.
I never wanted to up-root her from her home town ( Boca Raton ). Her father and I are divorced. We remain very close friends today. But now, all these years later, she is in her 3rd year of college and I haven’t been able to move back.
Which brings me back to the bar at The Carlyle Hotel, 
And here is how this all ties together; there are amazing murals at the Carlyle. One mural is in the Famous Carlyle Café where you can spend an evening with the likes of Bobby Short, Ertha Kitt, etc etc.
Just in case you've forgotten, Ludwig Bemelmans was the author and illustrator of the Madeline series of children's books .
