Symphony and I will be performing in several upcoming shows including...
Weekends at the awesome UVA International Restaurant! They have fabulous food, a

music, a beautiful ambience, a VIP room for your special event, & a great location just off Miracle Mile at 2626
Ponce De Leon Blvd. in Coral Gables! To top that all off I'm there performing bellydance shows EVERY Friday and Saturday night
between 9 p.m. and midnight (showtimes vary, but approximately one set per hour). Come dance with me and show
off your best moves! See part of the menu and some photos at www.uvanights.com Whether you want a place to have a delicious dinner for two, or a big party where you can dance

BELIEVE IT OR NOT! We went on our vacation to visit our
friends, who recently relocated from NYC to Connecticut. On a Thursday, me and my kids piled into the car with our friend
LJ and headed into the city for what was planned to be an evening of tripping around the East Village, riding the subway to
sightsee, and going into Chinatown to eat soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai. Well- I swear on my life-- the minute we went
over the bridge and into Harlem what happens? THE BLACKOUT!!! We could not believe it! We were a little scared for a moment,
considering the possibilities, but tried to believe the reports that it was just a freak accident. We would have turned right
around and left, but of course we had NO GAS! After a couple hours of driving through intersections full of people and trying
to make calls that would not go through, walking, eating a slice of pizza from Two Boots- who thankfully had gas stoves- we
ended up at LJ's friend Kenny's apartment in Chinatown.
Subsequently, we ended up SLEEPING ON HIS ROOFTOP in the
darkest, quietest New York City since the mid-1800's! It was actually pretty neat- at 4:30 a.m. when we decided to go back
into the apartment Symphony wanted to know 'why we had to go inside'. Earlier, around 11 p.m. we had gone out for a walk and
were fortunate enough to see a couple of male dancers gettin 'down on the corner' with a couple drummers- including a girl
who was really good. We almost started bellydancing! Then, we found 'Bereket' a diner that was still serving souvlakis- and
they were delicious!! We were so thankful because otherwise we would have starved (the NY pickles we had earlier were good
but not too filling). Breakfast the next day was iced coffees and chinese buns. All in all it was a great experience, but
we will certainly have to return very soon and get some of those soup dumplings!!
I thank our generous host Kenny, for providing us with
a safe place to sleep.
