Diving into the Musicals – “Nice Work if You Can Get It” and Sardi’s!

Friday night, June 1st, my husband and I were again treated to a bevvy of calories and feasts of the eyes and ears – dinner and lunches and tickets to three Broadway musicals in a row! First up was a trip back to Sardi’s Restaurant to sit amongst the famous caricatures and eat a good meal with some good Malbec wine. I had the crab cake appetizer, the pork chops, some wine, and said hello to an old friend’s portrait on the way to the women’s room. Malbec and Crab Cakes Pork Chops – a bit dry, but nicely garnishedContinue readingDiving into the Musicals – “Nice Work if You Can Get It” and Sardi’s!

Two Excellent Plays – “The Best Man,” “Clybourne Park,” and Food!

Wednesday night, the plans for the In-Law Invasion went into full swing, as they took us to the French restaurant Marseilles on 9th Avenue before seeing “The Best Man” on Broadway.
