Barefoot in the Park
Reason # 1,340 why living in New York City is awesome:My plans for tonight are not only awesome and cheap/free, but I have a good weather option and an inclement weather option.
Good weather option: The New York Philharmonic is giving a free concert in Central Park tonight. Cost to me: $5-10 for a sandwich and however much it costs for a somewhat decent bottle of wine.
Bad weather option: The Broadway show called, “Jewtopia.” Hailed by Time Out New York as, “Two hours of comedy! After a quarter century of Neil Simon and his imitators, the playwrights redeem the formula with edge! Displaying a commercial sensibility that is almost obscene, they combine the swaggering generation y, (for yahweh) sensibility with the more traditional borscht belt approach, nailing two demographics at once! The result is irresistible – like watching precocious kids mouth off to their parents! The young authors play the parts with sassy abandon! The script throws every ingredient on hand into the comedic chicken soup...you may eat till you plotz!” Cost: absolutely nothing.
Last night, Danny and I went to this great Mexican restaurant for his birthday called Blockheads. Amazing burritos and cheap mojitos make this place a must-visit for anyone on the Upper East Side. Since when did I start talking like the Zagat guide?
Tomorrow is the Mets game. David says his cousin was vomited on at Shea stadium, and it’s supposed to be raining, not to mention the fact that well, it’s the Mets. But I am determined to drink a beer and eat a hot dog and enjoy baseball just the same.
