Perfect score!



Saw Beautiful. Good play. Don Kirshner played by Paul Anthony Stewart was terrific.


Thrillist says the best small town restaurant in NY is The Phoenicia Diner.
Phoenicia
Population: 309
If you're within 200 miles of the Catskills, odds are you've already heard of, or maybe even been to, this renovated 1962 diner off Route 28. The last time they surveyed this sleepy vacation town's population it numbered in the 300s, but this spot's hungry hipster cult following has far outshined its tiny surroundings. Design-wise, it's got everything your Dwell-loving heart desires and then some: a prominent "DINER" marquee hovering above a classic shingled roof; a long narrow lunch counter beneath warm pendant lighting, overlooking pie displays, coffee urns, and a retro Coca-Cola cooler; pea green two-seater booths divided by frosted-glass panes; letter boards above the register displaying the day's specials. Oh and the food? All the belly-warming comforts you'd expect -- country-fried steak and eggs, skillets with pork belly or house-cured corn beef, burgers, BLTs, and tuna melts -- done up with a modern chef's precision and as many local ingredients as they can find, plus excellent coffee, cocktails, craft beer, and dessert. -- MH



TCM has Key Largo on tomorrow morning. Can't believe I haven't seen it.
