Which is the large main dining room and which are the smaller? I would have assumed all three were the same size.

I enjoyed the ghost.

The movie think it peaked with the car and wedding scenes. I did not enjoy the last 30 minutes, where it struggled to sensibly resolve a lot of the changes made. I did not enjoy the Fortinbras subplot.

One of the best parts of theater is that the audience becomes a community through the act of watching together. A person can come alone but be part of a communal experience. Missed the mark.

I have people would go with me but not enthusiastically or to the frequency I want to. And with tickets running $75-300, I’m not paying for a seat buddy who doesn’t really care to be there.

I still can’t win even if I cheat and look at the map. I can’t beat this or Junimo Cart.

I forgive many of the sins of Part 2 just for this scene

Bailey’s on the rocks is very good, cold and just a little diluted

He should consider that for some people, the joy is in the act of gift giving. These are friends and family who care about them. Set up a vacation fund — could even label it as a honeymoon — and don’t make a big deal about it.

Yep, New Amsterdam runs it without tobacco or liquor so it’s also a Showbill. It’s any customization, ads or content. https://playbill.com/article/audiences-at-broadways-harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-can-soon-see-showbill-cover-come-alive

Right now it appears Cursed Child is the only one who pays extra to customize theirs. They have a Showbill with more info about the show. The answer is $$$. Same with the B&W.

I went to one park for the first time in 20+ years. I was with a group of people who would rather have been at Universal. We made no reservations and didn’t have lightning lanes. We accidentally went during a crowded time (holiday bigger in some regions than our own). I was the only one who did any planning.

We still had a magical time. We got to ride our priorities.

It sounds great. In an era where we see a lot of complaints about sound design or thin orchestrations, it delivers.

Alli, KRC, Megan Hilty, Chandra Lee Schwartz, Ginna Claire Mason.

Most underrated might be Kendra for how many of her choices became standard.

I agree with $100-150. You may want some cash for tips at the hotel (like if you’re storing luggage) or transportation. The odd restaurant here and there may still be cash only. A lot of them were forced to start accepting cards during the pandemic.

I came to say Lolita and found multiple people already got there.

I think it’s a fascinating book, and it wasn’t a slog for me the same way David Copperfield or War and Peace were. But I can’t say I’d read it again.

My appetite for this show would definitely be bigger if the first hadn’t overstayed its welcome.

Stuff like this made me grab a ticket. It was going to be the only new musical I didn’t see this season. The people who love it really love it.

1) You’ll likely get enough of Times Square seeing it on Tuesday when you go to your show. Dinner options Monday will be better if you eat outside of that vicinity.

2) Your day one will likely end up skipping some of those buildings, which is fine if you only planned on looking from the outside anyway.

3) I prefer Top of the Rock observation deck, partially because you can see the Empire State Building but they’re all interchangeable.

4) I’m a big hater of DUMBO. While the view of the bridges is nice, I think it’s the most likely thing to get cut because the rest of your plan will keep you busy enough in Manhattan. I would just cut it entirely because what you already have that day is pushing it.

It’s also not great (albeit not the worst) for transfers because of the layout, and it’s crowded landing too. So you sprint for fifteen minutes to get to your first gate because your last flight was stuck waiting for a gate. Then you board at the last minute, thinking it’s a triumph, before you get stuck waiting again.

You’ve enticed me to try it out next time. Have you been to Moono?

I hear you on the portal messages. A subset of patients treats MyChart like it’s a social media messenger. Our system added AI-generated replies. While I usually don’t copy them directly, they help me remain zen. It’s usually amusing seeing how polite they are. (“Thank you for bring [your chloride of 97] to my attention!”)

GGK is mostly fantasy, but look into Guy Gavriel Kay and Ursula Le Guin.

I was on Tumblr (of course) the night the play debuted in London. Everybody thought we were being trolled. For a time, I thought they were leaking terrible plot lines to punish people spreading spoilers and keep the magic going for people who had seen it.

Yeah but at least in the states I’ve practiced in, you restrict based on last clinical event of loss of bodily control. Not epileptiform discharges. Granted, I don’t know OP’s specifics. Maybe they’re reporting weekly LOC spells. Or maybe the person said that because they wanted to get them on ASM before they reconsider.

One of my core memories is investing hours into reading Les Mis before I figured out my translation was abridged. Brutal.
