You already saw one of my favorites (Wicked) and while we liked Jersey Boys we didn't love it.
We did not love Book of Mormon. Didn't find it as funny as advertised and I am not sure what all the brouhaha is about but we are not the only ones who feel this way because after we saw the show I was confused because so many people loved it so I asked everyone I knew who saw it and most felt the same way we did. It did not live up to the hype IOO.

Hi Miisy! I was hoping you would drop in! I'm not interested in The Book of Mormon. I heard from a friend who saw it how awful the language was and constant and that doesn't interest me. I will check out Avenue Q. We are not sure if we will see one or two shows. We land at 11:00 on the 11th in time to have lunch in the Village at Keste Pizza. From there we are still working on Shows and Dinners. We did The Nomad last time and we were not disappointed. So still lots to do. We were going to try one place that is already booked that a friend of DH's recommended.

It is a wonderful restaurant and very romantic but for the cost of dinner you could easily buy diamond bling. Though I will say it is an experience you will remember.
I vote for Le Bernardin for a romantic anniversary dinner.

As the date gets closer I'll be in touch. We are away the first 2 weeks in June and not sure when we are returning to NY but it would be lovely to meet you if possible.

Le Bernardin allows for reservations 30 days in advance and it books quickly for Friday and Saturday dinner so definitely call them ASAP to get the evening you want. I'm pretty good at getting reservations in challenging situations so if you need my help let me know!
ETA: I have now subscribed to this thread too.

I'm surprised as it used to be only 30 days in advance so I thought you would have more flexibility. Of course late reservations can be more romantic than earlier reservations so might be perfect for you two. I hope you love the restaurant. I recommend the chef's tasting menu.
missy|1430836387|3872401 said:They definitely changed their booking to further in advance since the last time we made reservations there. Of course that was a while ago-before my accident and come to think of it I think we'll go perhaps in August. We are overdue.
Mayk, just realized I have your email. Do you still have mine? In any case I will contact you closer to your visit.

I just looked, I guess I don't have it any longer but please feel free to drop me a line as we get closer... If I don't see you in NYC I'll hopefully see you in Miami next year for the Antique Jewelry Show, I'm planning to attend again! (Helps to have a Step Daughter in College down there, makes my reasons for going south very easy and DH likes to tag along).
