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.

OMG it is downstairs. I have no idea where I got the idea it wasn't.

at BAM. What's better than a dance piece that you know all the words to? Nothing. Spirited and upbeat and perfect for spring. And Marcy Harriell was absolutely amazing. https://markmorrisdancegroup.org/work/the-look-of-love/

I didn't even know there was a downstairs. I knew there was an upstairs. I've seen a couple of things there.

I haven't been for ages, 'cause I guess I'm seeing different shows these days. It was so nice to come back.

The West Bank Cafe is no one’s idea of a fine dining destination. But look at this nice spargel! You could do worse coming out of a not-great show.

I think that might be a sign of the apocalypse. As if we don't have enough already.

Gotta compete with the goyim and their delicious Easter bunnies.

Well, I see we had a minyan in there tonight. Surf clam two ways. I can't decide which way I liked better. I am such a fan of raw seafood. But I also sit in awe of a good clean fry. This was what brought me in the door - cod roe taramasalata with smoked sturgeon. Described as the Jewiest thing on the menu (but it was not!). turn My favorite turnip, which I would like to try to replicate at home, except that I don't have a wood-burning oven. Maybe I'll give it a go when we're upstate and there's wood, and it's burning. Ham served on the side for my companion, who eats ham. Thi Big ass dungy, with two sauces and a rice. I was distracted from my enjoyment of this crab by the concern that we were taking too long to eat it and throwing off the rhythm of the seatings. But not all that distracted. This is actually the Jewiest dish. Because it is fancy cold halvah. Tahini gelato with pistachios and pomegranate.

Glad your kid liked it! I saw the first incarnation, and this one was just as good! (Albeit not as star-studded.)

Was it last Friday?

I think maybe we never outgrow this nonsense. Like when ducklings imprint on some random mother surrogate.

I made this with Australian whiskey, but I'm too tired to think of a name for it. No, I'm not. It's an Anzac.

JFC it’s crowded in here. Hope you have a good sightline, @Wilfrid! I’m on the ramp-y thing in front of the bar. If I don’t see you again, nice to meet you!

That's fair.Everybody's gotta draw a line somewhere. I get very exercised over $4 oysters.

Deal.

The hype is earned, in my opinion. Everything I've had there has been good to excellent. The staff is both friendly and efficient.

Whoa. Last time I had the Yuba sandwich (6/2023) it was $19.

If you see someone you think might be me, come say hey. It might be me!

I think this might be a perfect cheese. Slight sourness, and simultaneously firm and creamy. https://www.murrayscheese.com/dp/murray-s-cave-aged-original-buttermilk-basque Also a lot cheaper in the store than online.

Exception: when being photographed gives you a nice mustache that you never knew you had.

I'm some distance from 22, and I still look like a dork.

Because they're 100% word of mouth! Says so right in the video! Pay no attention to this Eater PR piece - we're a speakeasy!
