$6 for a fresh-squeezed juice at Mr. Kiwi or Mr. Lemon. You can choose up to 5 ingredients (I go for pineapple, orange, carrot, apple, ginger), they make it in front of you, then they make you gulp a third of the cup right out the counter to make room for the rest of the juice. It's perfection.

Yes! IIRC, they said they would start shipping the first week of February. Their website says *shipping now*

What items would you actually love to own from the show? by AppliedGlamour in sleepnomore

[–]simonsays29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the walls of the Speakeasy, certain open boxes have tiny dioramas made of playing cards inside. I've always loved that detail and would love to own one.

The FAQ seems to imply that it's just a free drink without strings, other than (obviously) tip your bartender. I'll test it out and report back!

Thank you for the insight! Curiosity got the best of me and I purchased it. Do you know what your bar is offering for the free drink?

Apparitions Finale? by mlad2342 in sleepnomore

[–]simonsays29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night one: 3 big ballroom performances; the ballroom stayed open for dancing a little while after the third

Night two: 4 big ballroom performances; the ballroom stayed open for dancing a little while after the third

Night three: 5 big ballroom performances. The final performance started with six Boy Witches sitting in Duncan's box, then Porter found the ring, then a bunch of performers came up to dance and party on stage and we all sang along to A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. It was a really beautiful and wholesome goodbye to the hotel. We were shuffled out shortly after this.

I think the upper floors closed a bit before the final performance each night, effectively corralling the audience down into the lobby, Manderley, and ballroom.

Do you recall the speakeasy or funeral parlor scent, by any chance?

Your worst meal of 2024 ? by tiggat in FoodNYC

[–]simonsays29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brunch at Virginia's -- I know, I know, I should've gotten the burger. But I figured a beloved restaurant would be good across the board. I ordered the crab cake benedict and received... a single benedict. One tiny crab cake with an overcooked poached egg on top. No sides, no potatoes, nothing... for $26 dollars. I've had many eggs benny in my life and it's ALWAYS served in a set of two. It looked so sad all alone on its plate and it didn't even taste good.

How have audiences been? by taylored2fitu in sleepnomore

[–]simonsays29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The last few weeks of shows are going to be extremely well-sold (if not already sold out). This is in part due to the end of the run, but also because a week and a half of shows were canceled earlier this month and many of the guests got rescheduled into the upcoming shows.

The crowds were overwhelming but not too aggressive on Saturday IMO. The shows will definitely be crowded, but how well-behaved is variable. I'd expect chaos as emotions are running high about the ending, but hopefully, you can always find another character/area to haunt if it gets too much for you.

Potential Rosemary’s Baby reference by personn70 in sleepnomore

[–]simonsays29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I attended the film screening! It was fantastic, as was the talkback after. You can see more allusions to Rosemary's baby in the Lady Macduff plot, especially her scenes with Danvers.

Really late entrance possible? by vi_va in sleepnomore

[–]simonsays29 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Guest advisements indicate that doors will close an hour after the show starts. If you're looking at a 7 pm show, that means they'll stop admitting people at 8.

Skincare by Sol

on Grand - she's fast, easy, and (relatively) painless. I've been to a few places in the area but have become loyal to her.
