I am addicted to The Jane Hotel, especially Cafe Gitane in the Jane, and it’s Avocado, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Chili Flakes on Seven Grain Toast and Dukkah. Since first introduced to the cafe, I have been back every week. Katrina Kelly’s Cafe Inspiration

About a year ago I had a profound inclination to learn how to juggle. I had always been fascinated by my sister and best friends ability to juggle. So by incessantly watching numerous instructional youtube videos, I mastered 3 ball juggling. Yet, that just was not enough. If I could juggle three balls, then why not four. This time I signed up for a class taught by Rod Kimball, who taught me some 2 and 3 ball tricks and stalls. Occasionally, Michael Karas would fill in as instructor. I befriended Michael via facebook which led to an introduction to Playing by Air, a variety performance group he is in. Playing by Air is formed of 4 incredibly multi-talented individuals who wholeheartedly love what they do; 3 master jugglers and a skilled masterful violinist. Just being in their presence is creatively contagious and delightful. I have just returned from watching their opening show for the NYC International Fringe Festival. I am utterly enamored and awed. This show is more than mere juggling. It is the crème de la crème of juggling/variety shows. They don sophisticated black suits paired with ties the colors of rainbows. It was humorous, well crafted and jubilantly entertaining. The children and adults cried out bewildering oohs and ahhhs throughout the entire performance. Hip-hop, dance, classical, Fat Boy Slim and some children’s tunes accompany the variety acts. It has an essence of an understated, clever cirque du soleil, but it is entirely their own and one-of-kind. At the end there were Q & A for the performers; one lady stated it best when she said how inspired she was, and that it made her believe anything is possible. Without further ado, Katrina Kelly is off to practice juggling…

I strolled through the newly renovated Limelight Marketplace yesterday. This venue has a historic and prolific 163-year-old history. It was once a historic church, then a notorious nightclub. Most recently it was renovated to a three-story labyrinth-like maze of luxury shops keeping some of its original and important architecture integrities; exposed brick and stained glass rose windows. And in the aftermath, threw in some new, fierce and unapologetic DECO and Glam Glam. Today you will find an array of shops inside; Petrossian caviar; olive oils at Carter & Cavero; and Jezalin’s, a fancy-food shop stocked with breads, charcuterie, cheeses and condiments, Whisk, a cookware shop based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, MarieBelle chocolates; Mari’s New York brownies; Butterfly Bakeshop; Cupcake Stop; the Little Candy Cake Company; the bakery Wanna Hava Cookie; Baci Gelato; Miss Tea, for teas and accessories; and Jala frozen yogurt. My favorite nook was the top floor MarieBelle tearoom-nice view. And the talk of the town is that Grimaldi’s pizzeria will take on space there. By: Katrina Kelly
I am so enchanted by Victoria Legrand’s voice
BEACH HOUSE LIVE LOVER OF MINE
You hear my cry, lover of mine
No tear in the eye or fear in my mind
The forest is thick and you don’t recognize
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
In a wide open field we know we can feel
Awake and unreal, off to nowhere
Off to nowhere
Need more people to be satisfied
No fear of a god and prayer for the night
You come into our minds and you rush through our lives
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
In a wide open field we know we can feel
Awake and unreal, off to nowhere
Off to nowhere
The only thing you’ve got
You know you’re better off without it
Youngest fire, you decide
You decide what is right
Near yet so far, isn’t it?

This cafe is housed in the German-Austrian art museum Neue Galerie. Not only does this historic Beaux-Arts mansion house some of my favorite works of art and decorative objects, the cafe is unsurpassed in Manhattan. This entire setting is my notion of elegant beauty. I usually go for brunch there with my dear Austrian friend. Her family runs an Austrian bakery and confectionery in the charming town of Weiz, Austria (in which I have had the delight and pleasure of tasting some of their chocolate! YUM). She states that Cafe Sabarsky is the most authentic Austrian setting in the city. So if it wins the heart of my Authentic Austrian friend, then it is certainly worthy! It evokes a real Viennese Glamour and an Old World splendor. I am ready to go back for more visual inspiration!
