Thom and I are off to New York tomorrow! And it happens that our anniversary getaway coincides with a couple of events: Pride (the parade and festival are on Sunday) and Restaurant Week (in which participating restaurants are offering prix fixe, three-course lunch for $20.12 and dinner for $30.12). We’ve already made reservations at a few restaurants using OpenTable, which makes it super easy.
Theater is essential to a New York trip, of course; we’ve decided on Bombay Dreams, Assassins, and Rent. (On our last trip, we saw Wicked and Avenue Q.) Thom hasn’t seen Rent before (incroyable, right?); I’ve seen it on tour a few times, but not yet on Broadway, so it’ll be kind of a first for me too. What else? Shopping, definitely. And art. I’ll look up what’s on at the galleries, and there are a handful of exhibits I want to check out at the Met, especially a couple on Art Deco.
Any other must-sees or must-dos? We’ll be in the city through Tuesday. If all goes well with the hotel’s free Wi-Fi, I’ll try to file a trip report. And I’m bringing along my digital camera, for which I finally bought a new, more spacious memory card. (By the way, the plastic packaging for those cards are so freakin’ hard to open.)
Have a great weekend, kids.

We really miss you, Jeff. But enjoy, have a good time, and take care of yourself and your gadgets esp your digital camera. We would love to view your photos, okay.

wow! you’re set to have a great week! i saw bombay dreams in previews at Easter and I really enjoyed it. it’s kinda traditional in the fact that it’s a big song and dance show. nothing deep. but colourful and cool. and of course, rent is amazing. he’s lucky to be seeing it for his first time.
have a great time, can’t wait to see photos.
Prey the theater union doesn’t strike starting Sunday as they’re threatening to do. Assasins will be the only show on your list that will continue to run. 🙁 Our city’s one never-ending union fight after another these days.
And I meant pray, not prey. Unless of course you’d like to prey on the striking workers. In that case, be my guest 😉
I hope you two are having a blast!
