This post is making me miss New York and want to book my own bookish adventure. It's been too long. The Schwartzman is so beautiful. I've never heard of Albertine OR the Neue Galerie! Also, I have that Sargent book, which I purchased from an estate sale in Narragansett earlier this year because I, too, have a soft spot for Sargent. Did you see the fashion of Sargent exhibit while it was at the MFA earlier this year? (I saw your Substack linked in a recent LitRI email and decided to subscribe bc I am also a chaotic reader in RI, so hello!)
I didn't see the Sargent exhibit!! *cries in missed opportunities* I haven't cracked into the Sargent book yet, so I'll have to let you know what I think. You definitely paid less for it than I did ha!
And yes, hello hello to a fellow Rhode Islander! May the bridges always be kind to you.
Ahh! The MET fashion exhibit is always breathtaking. I'm so glad you got to see it in person. My friend is a bookseller at Bauman Rare Books so that's my rec for your next trip. I think they're closed to the public at the moment as they move so you didn't miss anything!
Englishman in New York. Sting.
Thanks, love your posts.
Ooh! I don't know that one! I do enjoy a good Sting song, so I need to go look it up.
Glad you're enjoying them and thanks for being here!

Yes!! It was absolutely gorgeous and I just love looking at pretty clothes. Even better pretty *historical* clothes. 10/10, highly recommend.
Thank you for the bookstore recommendation! I shall add it to my neverending list of bookstores to visit. Glad I didn't miss it this time around. :)
