"I became enchanted by New York City, and Greenwich Village in particular, while one of my daughters attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. 
After reading many books about the village, and spending many pleasant hours dining, shopping, and just wandering the streets, I was permanently 
hooked on New York City!"  
Victoria, as always, is madly in love with her three adorable, smart, sweet and  wonderful grandchildren!
