During this summer, you can enjoy swimming at pools located in New York state parks, including two in New York City, without any fee. Governor Kathy Hochul declared on Tuesday that the state park swimming pool entry fees will be waived for the remainder of the season in New York.

Doris Duke – Wealthiest Woman In The World
From 1925 through 1967 the legendary San Remo Tavern was open day and night for business on the northwest corner of MacDougal and Bleecker Streets in the Village – across the street on the southeast corner was another Café, the Figaro, which – after being closed for several decades and gaining a certain kind of legend status itself (Sam Shepard and Sally Kirkland were waiters there in the 60s) – is open again. From the middle of Prohibition through the Great Depression and WWII, and on into the 50s and 60s the San Remo thrived, attracting a crowd of poets, painters, playwrights, musicians and actors. Some of these luminaries were Dylan Thomas, Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, James Baldwin, Gore Vidal, William S.Burroughs, Miles Davis, Frank O’Hara, Jackson Pollock, Judith Malina and Julian Beck and so many others. One night the actor Warren Finnerty (The Connection) slipped a magic mushroom (psilocybin cubensis) in a glass of apricot nectar and insisted I drink it – but that’s another story. Another night, the Saturday night after the mid-week opening and the unanimous rave reviews had come in for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the crowd at the bar included several of the above as well as Simone Signoret and Leonard Bernstein there to see the new wunderkind of the American theater, Edward Albee, who wandered in fashionably late in a white cable knit turtleneck sweater, an outfit vaguely reminiscent of Eugene O’Neill. Which is also another story. The story here however, and one I have never told before, is the amazing adventure I had with some pals which started out at the San Remo and ended up at the largest private estate on the east coast where we all spent the night under the same roof with Doris Duke, who when she was young was called the world’s richest girl, then the world’s wealthiest woman – and then in an unauthorized biography written by her accountants, “…shall we say the world’s richest person?”
