Metropolitan Opera

Ok, so I’ve finally broken down and agreed to take the Mrs. to the opera. Seeing a Saturday night showing of Le Nozze di Figaro in December. Any restaurant suggestions in the area? Will likely be taking the 1 train directly from Penn Station, so something close to Lincoln Center would be optimal.

Boloud Sud and Bar Boloud are directly across the street and decent enough places. There are better/fancier/more expensive spots a couple blocks south at the Time Warner Center if that’s more up your alley.

Pretty sure there’s an Olive Garden near by.

Grazie mille

Hard to beat unlimited bread sticks.

For opera, I would suggest a bullet to the dome, or at least microdosing acid

Marea or Jean Georges. There is also a sushi Gari nearby. I would suggest Per Se or Masa, but I assume most civilized people have been there several times and are bored of those establishments.

^that would be past the point of no return.

just let it happen:

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you Open up your mind Let your fantasies unwind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night

I prefer

Sing for me, Christine!
