So this morning Theresa and I were up by 6:00, had coffee and bagels, and left for NYC a little past 8:30. Our drive up was painless (unlike Theresa's 5 hour drive the day before), and we checked into our hotel by 11:00. Then it was off to Chelsea. Our first stop was the Chelsea Market, where we checked out the shops and bought some earrings. Then it was time to introduce Theresa to our favorite NY restaurant, Colicchio and Sons. I had called earlier in the week to see if Chase, the manager and resident beer expert, was working. I didn't see him when we walked in, but he came to the table after we were seated. We had a nice conversation and I followed his recommendation for beer.
Theresa had a witbier and I had a quad. We ordered the 2 course lunch but had some gazpacho delivered first (compliments of the house)!
On our way back to the hotel, we saw Matt Bomer from White Collar walking by!! Unfortunately, Theresa didn't know who he was until I could make a Glee connection...
We stopped at Macy's so that Theresa could look for a pair of walking shoes. I rested in the shoe department -- that third dessert must have taken the life out of me.
She was successful in finding some great walking shoes, and we walked back to the hotel to rest before our show.
This is our lobby, and we actually have a studio apartment!
After taking a short nap, we walked from our hotel to the Jacobs Theater. On our way we saw the Chrysler Building.
We were able to go up on stage for beer in a sippy cup from the Irish bar set! How fabulous to able to look out into the audience at the Jacobs Theater. The play was so ingeniously put together - terrifically talented ensemble cast. I wondered how they would take an intimate little movie and make it a Broadway show - this was as good an adaption from film to play as was Amadeus from play to film - incredible.
