Across from our hotel was the theatre playing
This was the matinee we chose to see on this quick NYC leg. And talk about legs! The show is based on a true story about a shoe factory in Northampton, England that was going out of business until they came up with the idea to make women's boots for drag queens. It was great and Marie and I had to talk at length about how the men dressed in drag would have hidden/strapped/tied their men bits in such skimpy outfits. There was one particular dancer who reminded us of a girl we had gone to school with whose long legs could manage a high kick and a jump into the splits during a song and dance routine.
The show was great. It was funny, had good songs - written by Tony Award winning Cyndi Lauper, and even had a feel good message, which all good musicals should have.
After our matinee we headed down to our reservation at Nobu New York, Robert DeNiro's Japanese restaurant.
Bless my dining and travel companion Miss Marie-Lou. She's been to Japan 3 times and is quite partial to Japanese food, but has never mastered chopsticks. Karl, pronounced in the US as Coral, suggested she use these "chopstick helpers" Bless.
The food was absolutely divine, so much so that we ate it all before I could get my camera out! I did manage to get a pic of our deserts though.
Mine was the Bento Box of a chocolate fondant with white chocolate and green tea ice cream.
Marie had this one ⬇ which she said was amazing, but to be honest, I was too busy downing my chocolate fondant to care.
