On The Town
We saw a revival of On The Town in NYC http://www.onthetownbroadway.com/?gclid=CJKlpcSvhMECFZDm7AodtTAAkA. This is a Broadway production, the theater is on 42nd street. It still in previews and reasonably priced tix are still available. We paid $79 for row F in the orchestra.
The production sizzles; acting and singing are great, The show is hilarious. Leonard Bernstein, Comden and Green and Jerome Robbins-- WOW. Megan Fairchild from the NYC Ballet, stars and her dancing is magic. If you love music, dance and fun go see it. BTW the orchestra's sound was really good, maybe it was the score. You can see where West Side Story came from.
URBO
Found a new restaurant located, if you can believe it, on the SE corner of 8th avenue and 42nd Street. Place is called URBO. http://urbonyc.com/ It is a 2 story giant space with a bar and restaurant on the 1st floor and a huge bar and restaurant on the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor restaurant is not open yet. The space is dramatic and things have been open for about 7 weeks. The downstairs restaurant is very reasonably priced. The service is very good. We had a salad with chicken that sounds boring but was nicely prepared with fresh ingredients and $18. Also had a flatbread with lamb sausage and feta cheese and yogurt sauce. The sausage was light and flavorful with a slight kick. The chef gets carried away with salt but the sausage was fine. I could watch him in the open kitchen salting everything with sea salt, vigorously Wines are reasonably priced; we had a 2011 Bordeaux for $9 and it was a decent pour. A really good pre-theater place that is not hectic at the moment. Check it out.
Enjoy. Lots more wine and food shortly.
