Motherhood Mondays: Doo-wop group
Toby and I were on our way to the playground on Saturday, when we passed this AMAZING doo-wop group. Toby was transfixed! It was one of those awesome New York experiences. They play every Saturday (except when it rains) on Bleecker Street right outside Murray's Cheese. Man, those voices.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! xoxo

ReplyDeleteWe shared a lovely dinner at 'ino (as recommended by Joanna)!
Found terrific company because of this group!
I LOVE these guys! I stood outside for what seemed like ages listening to them a couple of weekends ago with my mom and a Phileo Frozen Yogurt in hand. They are spectacular!
