another eye opens

While other things were happening in town, Jonathan (newly arrived from Atlanta) and Nick (visiting from Amsterdam) and I went to New York Theater Workshop to see Elevator Repair Service's production of "The Select (The Sun Also Rises)"

We loved the show, whose sets and costumes were designed by Mr. David Zinn

we thought we might have dinner at the famous Prune, but it didn't open until 5:30

so we sat outside at Cozy Cafe, the hookah bar down the street, and had tea

when we went back they were having some kind of video shoot and serving only a $65 prix fixe dinner so we went back to Bellcourt for a delicious dinner
