Since I am off to New York for a bit of r and r (retail and
recreation), I intended to revisit one of my fave haunts, Off Broadway, owned for
the last 50 years by the late, great Lynn Dell, one of the stars of the iconic doc
Advanced Style.
Dell died in the summer and there was buzz that the shop
would carry on but alas, it has been shuttered, after a blow-out 75-per-cent-off
closing sale. Now that would have been worth the plane ticket alone. RIP Lynn and Off Broadway.

| I bonded with Lynn Dell and stayed so long, I was
mistaken for a staffer. I even sold some jewelry and accessories -- but didn’t
take commission. Although I did take tea.
