A Naked Girl on the Appian Way


A Naked Girl...the Broadway Play...
We went into Manhattan today, Saturday, to see this new Broadway play. It was a very funny play, with Richard Thomas (remember John Boy?) and Jill Clayburgh, two very experienced and excellent actors.
The "city" as we call Manhattan here on Long Island, is a little over one hour away, by car. We drive in but can take the RR for a little longer than that.
My husband and I belong to the Roundabout Theatre Company. As subscribers, we get to see seven plays a year, on and off-Broadway.
We always enjoy the plays and even if they are not the best, they are always entertaining and performed live (of course!). There is nothing like a live performance, whether theatre, music or dance! Roundabout always has at least one actor who is well known or very recognizable.
Each performance is unique and like no other!

We first went to the craft show and market at the Lincoln Center Mall. It was NOT a flea market! The crafts and art for sale here were top quality and certainly not cheap. I didn't buy anything...$$$
Tonight Lincoln Center is having a major jazz show/benefit to raise money for the Katrina Hurricane victims. Many famous jazz musicians will be there.
For lunch we went to a new Cuban restaurant, azucar, on Eighth Ave off 55th Street.
My opinion...delicious food, but not the best Cuban.
For better Cuban cuisine, I recommend Victor's at 236 W 52nd St!
I'm back home and totally relaxed, feeling like I had a great day. It was wonderful to be in Manhattan but it's wonderful to be home on Long Island.
