Craftbar: Delicious. Owned by THE Tom Colicchio, it is a sharp, modern restaurant with a delicious seasonal menu. Not as pricey as the original Craft, but just as enjoyable.Ordered: House-Made Ravioli, Goat Cheese, Medjool Dates.
In the Heights: While this play is recently new to the Broadway world, it is so refreshing and has extremely catchy tunes. This play won "Best Musical" last year at the Tony's, and the main character (plus writer/ producer) was worth going to see alone. Plus, it's all about Latinas which I clearly relate to given my upbringing on the Mexican border.
Fred's at Barney's: Tucked away on the 9th floor of Barney's this delightful restaurant has great views and an enjoyable atmosphere. Expect to wait, unless you make a reservation, and don't show up looking shabby. Great salads.
New York Rangers: While I usually enjoy a good match of sweaty Canadian men hitting each other on the ice, the NY team was not playing up to par. The games are usually pretty exciting, but this night they could not get their act together. We left early to beat the crowds and later discovered they tied the game with one minute left and won in a shoot-out. Go figure.
Bar Americain: This place is my latest obsession. We went for brunch, and were immediately blown away by the delicious looking drink menu. However, I refuse to kick back cocktails in the A.M (at least with my mom). The food was divine. And I only ordered a hamburger (smothered in goat cheese on a honey wheat bun). So good. You MUST go here.
Jersey Boys: one word - AMAZING. I have been dying to see this play, as it received enormous reviews when it debuted two years ago. This play is especially entertaining because you will recognize almost every song in the play. Portraying the life of Frankie Vali, the plot bounces around the members of the Four Seasons and the history of their famous career. I HIGHLY recommend going to see this. I went home and immediately downloaded the entire soundtrack.
