Pop Chinn Stew. That's what Ken called his circumstantial evidence case he tried in 1983 as a young Deputy DA. I listened as he painted a wonderful word picture of his father putting together various ingredients to make a delicious pot of stew. It's been 30 years but that image of his father making the stew hasn't left my mind. In honor of Ken's dad, Vernon Chinn, we want to make some Chinn Stew of our own. Stop by from time to time and enjoy some Chinn Stew as we share some of our family happenings.

All tucked in . . . on the subway.

Beautiful Central Park

There were beautiful Brownstones everywhere.  We wanted desperately to peek in some of them.

Beautiful churches too . . .

The Met!

Shake Shack.  The burgers are almost as good as In and Out but the shakes were out of this world.  Yummy!

Highline Park.  They renovated old railroad tracks and stations into a beautiful park and walkway.
