    The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”

    ‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location.  Or at least it wasn’t up until recently.  The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot…

    I’ve Got the Hippy Hippy Shake!

    ‘ I have been a fan of ever since my early teens and during that time was, of course, one of my very favorite movies. So I was floored when I found the address of the bar Tom Cruise first worked at in the movie in a book I picked up just before my recent…
