After Finian's Rainbow was canceled we contemplated....hmmm...which Broadway show should replace this one. We could not let a Friday night in NYC go by without tickets to a show! When I got a playbill.com email advertising a new showing opening with Valerie Harper it seemed like a perfect fit. Tickets to Looped have been purchased!
Looped (at the Lyceum Theater) is a comedy which tells the story of Tallulah Bankhead being called to the studio in 1965 to re-record (or "loop") one line of dialogue for what would be her last film. Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and given her inebriated state (and inability to loop the line perfectly), what ensues is a hilarious showdown.
And on the restaurant side of things...Mom forwarded me an email from David Rosengarten which extolled the virtues of a restaurant on the east side, La Mangeoire (did you expect anything other than a French Restaurant!). Since we were planning to go to the Frick Collection on the Upper East Side, on the Friday morning we will be in the city, I thought this would be a great spot for lunch...and they serve small plates during lunch hours...perfect! I checked Open Table to see if the restaurant was listed there and it was. I was surprised I was able to book a reservation more then 30 days out, but I could and I did. So, one lunch taken care of now.
A couple days ago I came across an article about a new Roman trattoria (Maialino) that has open on the East Side (in the 20's)...now I know I can't go wrong with an Italian place and it's not far from our hotel. So I checked out the website...looks great! This time when I checked Open Table I was notified a booking couldn't be made this far out...no worries, in a couple weeks I'll check again and make the reservation.
NYC restaurant planning is right on target!
