Cafe Condesa in the West Village. Hot chocolate, with lots of foam on top.
Barrow Street Theatre.Sometimes it's fun to have a day with no boys allowed. A few of us had such a day on Saturday, starting with brunch in the West Village (I had huveos rancheros con chorizo), a bit of wandering, & finishing off with an off-Broadway production of Our Town at the Barrow Street Theatre. I had never read the play (don't judge- I'm a product of mediocre public education, I suppose) & didn't quite know what I was getting into, but overall, I liked it. Suzi & I made a very-necessary break for the nearest bodega during the first 10 minute intermission, which resulted in ingesting a massive amount of thoroughly processed sugar. This did the trick & was successful at keeping sleep at bay, & the second half did a much better job at keeping our attention. It was a very raw production (no set to speak of, modern clothing, no music for the most part, in a very intimate theater), unlike anything I've seen in New York. I walked away feeling more... cultured (I hate the pretentiousness associated with that word, but it's true. I did). Which I suppose makes my $27 worth it.

Thanks friends. It was a lovely day & good for my soul.

*Not to worry, Mike was not ignored for the entire day (& he was in the office much of the day, anyway). We ate some treats & watched A Mighty Wind with some friends last night. I really, really love that movie. Along with Best in Show. Two of my very favorites. Pure genius.

I love the mug.
Fun to go to a play. And a gritty one at that.
We've been having milder weather too. I'm afraid of getting my hopes of for spring, but I really hope it stays this way!
Hot chocolate is best with lots of foam on top!
I still have a stomach ache from all of the treats and I am still dreaming of the delicious brunch. Such a fun day!
That sounds like some of the plays I went to while I lived in London (I was a play addict, I think I saw 52 plays when I was there). I too felt it was worth it and oftentimes miss it SO much. You're lucky.
Best in Show is one of our favorites too.
i like no boys allowed sometimes, especially when i see a good play like this that makes me think and makes me want to go home and tell matt how much i love him. good day.
funny. sounds like an interesting play.
How fun. I love days like that and they are too few and far between. And I love your pictures as always. You have such a great perspective!
