Free Amsterdam: Gardens, art, ferries, conversation
2008-05-05 17:34:00 Looking for ways to save some euros while visiting Amsterdam? Here are five suggestions: Try some flower power. Visiting the masterpieces at the Rijksmuseum will set you back €10, but the baroque and renaissance gardens behind it are free to stroll. Delight in the fountains, statues, and the carefully coiffed hedges and plants. The gardens are open daily from 9 am to 6 pm. Baroque gardens are closed on the weekends. (Note: The Rijksmuseum is undergoing extensive renovations that are scheduled to last until 2010. Until then, visitors may visit a scaled down “best of” collection entitled ”Th-e Masterpieces.”) Pick up a passport to paintings. Speaking of the Rijksmuseum, we’re flying high about the joint venture between the museum and Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport. The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schipol, an art space at the airport maintained by the museum, offers annual exhibits free of charge. This year, an impressive collection of Van ...

New Amsterdam Bows: Lessons in Cons and Backsides
2008-04-15 04:18:00 New Amsterdam gave its final bow tonight - of the season, maybe of all time - with a line that it is destined to become classic, when John says to his annoying boss Callie (played by Susan Misner) "I won't kiss your ass - which isn't that great, by the way. The way you twitch it around, you'd think it was one of the seven wonders of the modern world."Well, it's looked ok to me, and Callie also gets creds for asking John at the end of the episode if he really meant this line, part of the little act the detectives put on to nab the bad guy (actually, a bad woman).We don't get to see John's answer, but we did get a fine final episode, in which the current police and the past part of John in historical New York are finally meshing pretty well. Con artists are the common thread, in the 1920s and the 2008 parts, and of course conning most of the people around him is just what John has been doing his whole 400-year life.Not to stretch this metaphor too far, but tantalizing the tel...

New Amsterdam 7: What Kept John from Dying?
2008-04-10 06:05:00 Next to last New Amsterdam on Monday - at least, for this season, and no one is saying at this point if it there will be another. This hour moved the story forward on one crucial point:Apparently Dr. Sara is not the one for John. He's shot (again) at point blank range, comes close to dying, but survives. The implication is the attack would have killed a mortal man. Were Sara the one, and this reduced John to mortality, as per the original prophecy, he should have died.Reasons for John surviving, if Sara indeed was the one, and John was mortal, could only be if the damage done to him by the gun was not that serious. That would be a rather weak move for the story, so I'm assuming that's not the case.Another possibility - especially given the other main story in Episode 7 - is that John may be slowly dying from the lead in his body. This is what happened to John's prior partner. He was shot, survived, but eventually died of long-range complications.But I'm betting that wha...

New Amsterdam 6: The DNA of Art
2008-04-01 05:35:00 Tonight's New Amsterdam - Episode 6 - started out great: John is called in on a case, and finds the victim looking just like his son - John's son from 1913, in his late teens.Now, we know that time travel is not one of the ingredients of this series, so the deceased could not be John's son who literally traveled from then to now.One possibility might have been that John's son somehow inherited part or all of John's immortality - and lived, not aging a day, from 1913 until now, only to die riddled by bullets. Perhaps John's son had found his true love, the one who would set him free from his immortality.Instead, the story took a more tame but still intriguing turn: this was a descendant of John's son who just happened to look like John's son. So we get get a nice episode tonight about another one of the many branches of John's family tree.Along the way, we get some good thoughts about the immortality of art - John's a painter in 1913 - and some fine scenes in which John...

New Amsterdam 5: Meets Mad Men
2008-03-25 04:46:00 Interesting, mixed-bag fifth episode of New Amsterdam tonight...On the one hand ... It was good to see John telling Omar, a young jazzman in the 1960s, John's whole story of immortality. It's not completely clear why Omar would have believed such a fantastic tale, though he is aware that his father doesn't seem to be aging, but that's ok ... we can find out later, in a subsequent episode, how Omar comes to fully accept his father's true nature. In the meantime, the 1960s ambience was fine ... making tonight a sort of New Amsterdam takes a page from Mad Men, black bow-ties, white shirts, and all.Meanwhile, in 2008, John's new relationship with Sara is already in danger - she, understandably, doesn't believe much of what John tells her of his past. At the end of the episode, John starts telling her the truth, and she walks away. Unlike Omar, she's not John's flesh and blood, has no memory of John never aging.... And a Google search she performs (it's amazing how quickly...

Happy Days in Amsterdam!
2008-03-21 23:15:00 I just had to take a break from baking to tell you all about Amsterdam's newest (and only) French bakery, Le Fournil de Sébastien!!!! OMIGOD, you can't imagine how happy I am to be typing these words! Before I offend any Dutch (professional) bakers, let it be said that the quality of the bread in the Netherlands has improved by leaps and bounds since I came here ten years ago. I think that Compagnons Fine Food Productions who have a stand at the weekly biologische boerenmarkt (oragnic farmer's market) on the Noordermarkt makes some of the finest croissants that I've had in the NL; and Geertje's Ambachtelijk Brood, also on the Noordermarkt, make the only bread that I really think is worth toasting (up until now). This may seem like a strange statement, as bread should be able to stand on its own, without toasting, but for me its all about toast. Crappy, fluffy, processed, press it between two fingers and roll it into a ball bread doesn't make good toast. Dense, ch...

New Amsterdam 4: Poetry and Parenthesis
2008-03-18 03:23:00 One of the things I really like about New Amsterdam is the way that poetry weaves through almost every episode ... Omar Khayyam, Walt Whitman, and, tonight, John quotes the famous parenthesis line from e. e. cummings, "life's not a paragraph. And death I think is no parenthesis." Hey, when was the last time you heard cummings quoted (he spelled his name in small letters) in a prime time show on Fox...John quotes this line as he and Sara walk in the New York evening, and draw ever closer. The line, of course, has an especially profound meaning for John, which Sara doesn't know. John's life, going on four centuries, is surely not a paragraph. It's an epic. And close calls with death have not only been no parenthesis, but barely a dot on John's page.John's been struck by swords, accidents, and gunshot dots, of which we saw one tonight. Back in the Bronx in 1813, John challenges his arrogant aristocratic boss to a duel. The boss takes what he pleases with women, including i...
