This weekend was jam packed with activities. I was here, there, everywhere.
The highlight of the weekend was watching the NYC Marathon, but that has nothing to do with interiors or design. Only empathy, sympathy, and love. It was an amazing year, especially given the current political climate.
Anyways... the second best thing I did this weekend was go see Trevor Noah live. He was filming a comedy special at the Beacon Theater as part of NY Comedy Fest. It was a blast! He's an incredibly smart and funny (and attractive) man. He's not the type of comic who just throws jokes at you; he's also politically minded (he's the current host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show). So he takes time to set up his jokes, and also they come from a pretty serious place. Sometimes you wonder where he's taking you, but it's always worth it! I haven't laughed that much in a while!!!! Also, he's a great mimic and clearly so comfortable the stage. If you have a chance to see him live, I'd highly recommend it.
But about the interiors... the Beacon Theater is one of the most gorgeous music halls I've been in. It was clearly lovingly restored. The ornate detail was breathe taking. I missed out on getting a photo of the lobby walls and entrance, but I will see what I can find online. Otherwise, enjoy the shots I was able to get.
