Catherine Adami

On Elizabeth Street Catherine Adami

Augie and Benny reunite at a memory filled apartment on Elizabeth Street in New York City to embark on an imaginative and libidinous adventure heavily influenced and inspired by their favorite artists, reigniting the creative aspirations of their youth, and bringing each closer to realization of being. The couple are former lovers and friends from college now in their forties. They spend a hot summer weekend of wish fulfillment and fantasy, reverting to a time of youthful abandonment and role-playing throughout New York City. It's Richard Linklater's "Before Sunset" meets Martin Scorsese's "After Hours" meets E. L. James's "Fifty Shades of Grey."It's about second chances, loving someone through your art, and finding a playmate for life. It's about the possibility of personal evolution at any age, and the power and influence of someone else seeing you as the person you forgot you were. It's about being better, older. The couple's adventures include Little Italy, Neue Galerie, Belmont Park, Washington Square Park, St. John the Divine, Raoul's in Soho, Cafe Habana, Swifty's, Elizabeth Street Garden, Brooklyn Social, McNally Jackson Bookstore, Margo Patisserie, Dolce and Gabbana, Alidoro, Adderley on the Farm, The Brooklyn Bridge...
