Wait, I need to buy more canned food.

I wonder what trends Urbane Cafe is setting, because everything looks awfully familiar to me.

Who's the other one?

I must've gone in the early '90s, for an office holiday party. The food reminded me of my grandmother's cooking, which is not a compliment.

But were the renditions of those dishes actually edible? My recollection of Sammy's is a good time and a lousy meal.

Pre-gaming.

Meet me in my lobby. I'll give you one in a sippy cup for the road.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

Their clam soup is the stuff of dreams.

WellsMath. Is different from regular math.

How's Dexter?

Assuage your curiosity.

Oh.

I use my cell phone as a timer, which gives me an unlimited number of timers, all with a memo function.

I hated Tilted Arc, and then I went to Dia Beacon and I was like OH! This is what you’re trying to do. I get it now. I was randomly on 6th Ave when his MOMA show was being broken down and trucked away and THAT was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. All these gigantic oxidized iron slabs on a parade of huge flatbed trucks. ETA They’re steel? TIL.

Big bowl o' soba soup, little bowl o' slaw.

Tip your fishmongers.

When he's already got a place in Pound Ridge, which is waaaaay uptown.

You're welcome! I think I first had it grilled as part of the lunch special at Her Name Is Han. This smoked one would make a killer onigiri.

"Dead" is a cool word?

Stirfried pea shoots with smoked saury and miso-marinated egg.

Oh, that's distressing. I loved BQE, and I intend to see Illinoise when it transfers.

I had conveyor belt sushi in Penn Station, and here I still am, mostly.

Thanks! I did not see it in 1970, as that would have meant staying up past my bedtime. But I've seen the movie many times - I used to teach a course in adaptation, and Tommy was two of the texts. I have such a strong attachment to certain sequences that I wonder if I'm going to be able to connect to the new production. Now I'm very curious as to the new one's "take away." I should probably just read the interview.

How was it? We're going in July.
