Neil,

You know you’ve been dying for a slice of Koronet’s Pizza. It’s on me if you can spare the time. I’m sure Jill would treat you to ice cream afterwards (thats seems to be her specialty).

I don’t know how far upstate you want to go, but I suggest the Adirondacks, Lake Placid, and (STRONGLY suggest)the Thousand Islands (in fact I’ll be there two weekends from now!).

No, Jill. I’m giving you two weeks early notice so you can dust your apartment.

The berkshires are really pretty this time of year.

And I did the babysitting thing in the catskills one year Neil. Much easier than waitering.

Knish Nosh is more in Forest Hills, but it’s still there. At least it was a couple months ago.

Thanks for the depressing suggestion, Danny. We’ll try to catch it on the same day as the new “Starvation Around the World” photo exhibit at the Whitney Museum.

Kutsher’s and the Concord still exist, but they aren’t the same as they used to be. But remind me to one day post about my summer experience being a waiter in the Catskills, like in Dirty Dancing. I, of course, will be the Patrick Swayze character.

Will you two be hanging out in Manhattan before you head out to rural New York? If you’re there before June 25, you must go see the current Broadway revival of Clifford Odets’ “Awake and Sing!” Jews. The Depression. Abject misery. It’s the perfect theatre experience! Call the Belasco Theatre at 212-239-6200. Pay any price.

And speaking of Jews (when am I not?), how about heading out to some of the faded resorts in the Catskills for some kitschy relaxing fun? Do any of those still exist?

Caryn - You don’t know Sophia. She is not the “sleeping in the car” type. But I definitely am. So, if you ever have an interest in driving across the country with me — we’re on!

And on that subject of driving, renting a car to drive somewhere out of the city seems more expensive that the flight taking us in.

Sorry to butt in … however yes it sure is. No ideas on a rental, but isn’t that why God invented sleeping in the car?
