Brunch with a bit of boom, boom fun has come to New York City.
Elsie Rooftop’s High Tea Brunch with Lady Mendl is taking place just steps away from Times Square at Elsie Rooftop. Named after Elsie De Wolfe – also known as the infamous Lady Mendl – is this beautiful space overlooking the city and serving up bliss. As a tribute to Lady Mendl, Elsie Rooftop celebrates her fabulous life with a Saturday High Tea experience combined with Parisian theatrical immersive acts.
There are two seatings every Saturday afternoon. The event has guests being treated to a delicious assortment of finger foods complemented by tea infused cocktails and spiked hot tea.
Enjoy delights such as Truffle Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Black Angus Sliders and Wild Mushroom Flatbread along with Bourbon Peach Green Tea and an Earl Grey Old Fashioned. Or enjoy a pot of tea to share for two people with flavors such as Assam Black Tea, Jasmine Petal Tea and Mint Verbena Tea.
The fabulous performances are paired perfectly along with the sweet setting and will be sure to be the highlight of your weekend. Big applause is handed out to the dancer and singing troupe putting it all out there.

If there was any doubt that Cafe Centro was a bona fide Cabaret Venue it was dispelled last night. Billy Stritch was seated at the Cafe’s Grand Piano and Linda Purl was the songstress headlining on the cabaret stage of the South Florida restaurant. The SRO crowd that had managed to snag dinner/show tickets got to hear one of the most skillful performances of the Great American Songbook and Broadway show tunes currently out there in Cabaret world. Linda Purl, an extraordinary actor is also an extremely talented vocalist who makes you fall in love with the song and also with Linda Purl, and I might add she is oh so great to focus on through my camera lens.
Billy Stritch was the music director for this gig and he brought his creative, virtuosic, jazz infused piano playing to accompany her. Billy was an engine of harmony and rhythm that coupled with Linda’s natural swing and romantic ballads perfectly. The overflow crowd loved every note of the performance. Mr. Stritch usually adds his lush voice underneath his stable of super singers to create some fantastic musical symmetry, as he has done for some of show biz’s legendary entertainers (Liza Minnelli, Christine Ebersole, Linda Lavin, Linda Eder, and Marilyn Maye to name a few.) During this show he wowed us all with his keyboard artistry. BTW, BIlly, an extraordinary singer/ entertainer on the cabaret and concert stages worldwide can be seen at the new WICK Museum nightclub on April 1st for a special one night only engagement performing his Cy Coleman show. Not to be missed by music lovers.
Sanford Fisher produced the Linda Purl evening. It brought these two super stars of the Cabaret and Concert stages together for an outstanding evening at Cafe Centro, our local oasis of live music in Palm Beach.
Another great Palm Beach event this week…..the “LADY IN RED” LIFE Gala at The Breakers……Congratulations to Lois Pope, the Board of LIFE and Entertainment Chair Sunny Sessa for creating a fantastic evening……

The Journey is an exploration of the moments that define us, the songs that inspire us, and the relationships that connect us to what matters most. Bocelli and his wife Veronica travel on horseback along Italy’s Via Francigena, an ancient road traveled by pilgrims for centuries in the footsteps of the apostles and saints. Along the way, they are joined by friends Michael W. Smith, Tori Kelly, Tauren Wells, and TAYA for world-class musical performances in some of Italy’s most magnificent venues and majestic locations. Following a blessing from the Pope, Bocelli’s children Matteo and Virginia make appearances in this amazing adventure, as well as musicians and singers Katherine Jenkins, Clara Barbier Serrano, 2Cellos, 40 Fingers, and many others.
To celebrate this release Andrea Bocelli and Hauser performed Melodramma live from Times Square.
