It was an eerie few days in NYC with the smoke from Canada. Here’s to clear skies ahead. It’s a big weekend in the city and Valerie Smaldone reports in on the Tonys, the Puerto Rican Day Parade, and National Rosé Day. It’s also that special time of the year for movie lovers—the Tribeca Film Festival is back! And free outdoor movies are back, plus free concerts too. We’ve got a private event invite for you. Our Broadway Babe is back with some fun entertainment. And our roving photographer is nostalgic about Quebec (pre-wildfires.)

Roving in Quebec
Our roving photographer, Nicole Freezer Rubens writes:
“In solidarity with the outrageous smoky skies this week, resulting from the raging wildfires in Nova Scotia and Quebec, I share with you photos from a recent retreat to Quebec. Right before the fires erupted there was not a cloud in the air. May this picture-perfect blue sky return soon to all so we can breathe a sigh of relief. “

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
