Eat. Drink. Live.
Sam and I went to see “A Christmas Carol” on Broadway (two thumbs up!). But first, a little dinner at Saju Bistro. My great new look: readers over glasses. Should have got progressives. A burger for her: Bouillabaisse for me. […]
Elyse and I went to see a giant puppet! The show itself, meh. But that puppet was a thing to see. All those handlers. And it was almost as tall as the theater. First, drinks and snacks. Obligatory theater selfie. […]
Sam’s first trip to Broadway! We saw Frozen. She sat in a booster, on the aisle. Could see it all. And loved it. I preferred the movie to the play, but the experience of taking her more than made up […]
Broadway, here we come, for a performance of The Great Comet. First, some pre-theater nourishment. Wine and snacks at Brasserie Athenee. And, to the show. These lights are fantastic! Look at the stage! #date A great show! Related posts: Pre-Theater […]
A big city day to celebrate my birthday. First, a trip to MoMA, then lunch at The Modern, a matinee, and dinner at a barbecue joint. We even had a nightcap back in Nyack. Day drinking! Gin cocktail, with apricot, […]
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a night at the theater with Boo. Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close was a treat. She alone was worth it. I started with a Manhattan in Manhattan, at Brasserie Athenee. Grilled shrimp. Pretty […]
The Steve Martin-Edie Brickell musical Bright Star was quiet and delightful. A little rushed at the end — let’s wrap it up, people! — but I agreed with Charles Isherwood of the New York Times who thought the ending rather […]
A couple of big Broadway fans head to a classic, Fiddler on the Roof, starring one of my favorite stage actors, Danny Burstein. Les dorkages: Related posts: 8 North Broadway: A Saturday Night Out! Farm Dinner at 8 North Broadway […]
What a lucky girl am I. Because of a story for Arrive magazine, I got to see Hamilton again. The experience was completely different from the first one. The first time, I tried not to read too much about the […]
So lucky to have tickets to see the best musical to come to Broadway in years. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius, and this show is all that it’s hyped up to be. Go! Related posts: Silence! The Musical Bloody Bloody […]
Broadway goes uptown tonight: Kelli O’Hara stars in the King and I, showing at Lincoln Center’s Vivan Beaumont Theatre. Kelli, Boo, Mary and I attending, but Mary leaving before the photo session the courtyard. A wonderful evening all around. […]
What is wrong with me? I spend an entire day with my sister and I don’t take one photo of the two of us together? Much less Greg or Boo or Kristen, the friends we spent the evening with? OK, […]
I don’t curse too often here on SCF, but here is a time when the words are well deserved. Here we are, heading to see Clybourne Park and it’s 715 p.m., 45 minutes before curtain. We walk into Joe Allen, […]
I liked the musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson so much, I went again. I snapped this photo of the hanging horse in the theater: Irene joined us. We had dinner at Shake Shack again, and then settled in for a […]
Laurie and I went to see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson on Broadway (we loved it!). So for our pre-theater meal, we headed around the corner from the theater to Danny Meyer’s famous Shake Shack — an off shoot of the […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
