Gimlets in the Garden, The Noguchi Museum, June 13

The Noguchi Museum in Queens hosted a member’s night recently, with guided curator-led gallery tours and complimentary gimlets, made with care by Abraham Hawkins, head mixologist at Dutch Kills bar. The moody weather of the night kept many away, but those who ventured out were treated to a quiet museum, a strong and refreshing cocktail, and an overall memorable night.

The East Side Gimlet recipe is as follows (I made this at home with fantastic results!)
1 oz fresh lime juice
3/4 oz simple syrup
1 pinch of fresh mint
2-3 cucumber slices
2 oz gin
Shake vigorously with ice, strain into a champagne coupe.

Wrangling two year olds- no one said it would be easy!

Jen, Eli, big brother Zack and new baby Leo met me for an afternoon of portraits in the little park near their apartment.  I have to admit, babies are SO MUCH easier to photograph! Convincing Zack to join us for photos was quite the comedy, and we spent much of our time negotiating with him, trying to cajole him (dare I say trick him?) into the photos! A fun time was had by all.
