July 8, 2010



I entered the Virtual Ticket Lottery and won two tickets. No waiting on line.
The Winter's Tale was not as good as Merchant, but well worth seeing. Byron Jennings as CAMILLO was terrific.

Line of the night goes to Leontes:
My wife is slippery?
If thou wilt confess, Or else be impudently negative,
To have nor eyes nor ears nor thought,
then say My wife's a hobby-horse,
deserves a name As rank as any flax-wench that puts to
Before her troth-plight: say't and justify't.



For the pre-play Picnic, Lobster Roll, Crab Roll and Shrimp Roll from Luke's Lobster. Excellent stuff.

Belvedere Castle.



Turtle Pond.



Great Lawn.



The NYT Food Critic Sam Sifton gave a quick blurb on old Chinatown fave Wo Hop , 17 Mott Street. You have to love these lines:
"They have a lot of what in Chinese cuisine is known as the “breath of the wok.” This is the taste created by stir-frying in an extremely hot wok. At Wo Hop, the breath might be that of an endearing hobo, full of pipe tobacco and sweet wine."
