Beaucoup De Theater

A couple of weekends ago Justin and I went to Brooklyn Diner and then went off to see Damn Yankees at Civic Center. It was the best show I have seen in a long time. Sean Hayes from Will and Grace played Mr. Applegate aka the devil. Jane Krakowski from 30 Rock was Lola and Cheyenne Jackson (one of my new favorite bway performers) was Joe. I convinced Justin to humor me and let me get Cheyenne and Sean's autographs after the show (I also got a hug from Cheyenne).

That Sunday, Esther, Michael, Bob, Susan, Sandy, Terry, and I went to Katz's Deli. The famous scene from When Harry Met Sally was filmed here. Not only was the food great but we saw Jelvis aka Jewish Elvis perform.

Elissa and Adam visited last weekend. We enjoyed a trip to MoMA, Central Park, and the Library. We explored most of the neighborhoods in Manhattan and had a great tour of food. This included many bagels, French Fusion at Brasserie 8 1/2, Turkish food, a Jewish Deli, Italian Gelatto, Cuban, and of course a trip to Bar Centrale.

We went to see "Some Americans Abroad" at Second Stage. It is a dark comedy about professors from an English Department who are on a Drama trip with their students in England. It stared Anthony Rapp from Rent and Tom Cavanaugh from the TV show "Ed".

We also took a ride on the Roosevelt Island Sky Tram. It is really cool. It is like a sky ride at an amusement park but it goes over the East River between Manhattan and Roosevelt Island.

We also went to a Belgian Beer Bar called Burp Castle where you can bring in take out food. To go with our Belgian Beers we got Belgian Fries from around the corner.

This week I went to a art gallery opening that featured work from some of the Fashion Illustration Professors at Parsons. I invited Esther and everyone at work can not stop talking about how pretty she is and what a great sense of fashion she has.

Today Josie and I went to Broadway in Bryant Park. We saw performances from "A Tale of Two Cities", "The Little Mermaid," and "In Transit" among others.

My crazy, cool thing that I learned this week is that the Police squad that manages traffic control is housed in a literal castle!
