Johnny Hollywood comes to town







Johnny came to visit last week for 10 days of fun in NYC. His main stated purpose was to meet Señor Don Gato and win her over. I think one could say that he won her love as much as anyone can, as she slept on his feet and laid belly up next to him on the couch. True Love. I'm pretty sure she misses him. We had an action packed week of adventure despite the poor weather conditions of drizzley days and low temperatures of which Johnny has grown unaccustomed.
Johnny's second stated purpose was to eat as much 'good' pizza as he could get down before returning to L.A. where they reportedly do not offer such quality in their pizza-making— so he stocked up on Smiling Pizza and Grimaldi's. We spent a few days exploring the cultural institutions of the Moma and the Brooklyn Museum of Art where we saw such exhibits as 'Design and the Elastic Mind' and the 'Murakami Exhibit' respectively. We walked through the Botanical Gardens to view the Cherry Blossums in bloom and also Prospect park to heckle a few little league baseball games. Many lovely days exploring the fine eateries and drinking establishments that Brooklyn has to offer such as the Gowanus Yacht Club where there are certainly no Yachts and it's not a club and also the Montauk Club which is a club. We walked the Brooklyn bridge when some sunlight broke through the clouds. Some sports were played at the Tennis Courts. And we even managed to catch the final race of the Kentucky Derby over a cannoli where alas Blue Bells ran her last race. So we had a really eventful week and enjoyed Johnny's visit! Hope he had fun too!
