and then what do you do on Monday?
Our friends from Broadway and East 55th, Dennis and Georgia, have invited all of us to join them for a parade Monday evening with a show and concert to follow at the Dan Kane Park near East 65th and Broadway. We’ve been by to see the landscaping at the park, and it’s fabulous.
Here’s a copy of the handbill:
