a quiet night....

for cityboy--after a few sessions---not much energy, but did go to bar restaurant on 143rd and Broadway for dinner--had a nice Caesar salad with chicken---filling and not too expensive, but the two guys next to me were pretty gross, and so no good conversation. Still, I like that place, will return, staff very friendly. Afterwards, stopped off at coffee place on 95th street and Broadway, new ownership, coffee still very good, this is opposite the Symphony Space---a long line crowded outside of it as I left---I looked at the programs, apparently all week they are having a Broadway comes to Symphony Space set of programs. Amazing! Build a musical comedy program and they will come!
Isn't there anyone who does NOT want to go to the theater at this point?
Today, Fidelio at the Met, in what I guess will be staff standing room. Fine with me---maybe will meet some other "staffers" and join in some interesting opera conversation. Anyway, should be meaningful.
Last night, as I said, early, but I awoke around 1, full of energy. I could have gone out for a beer, my stomach could have handled it, but decided to keep myself in. Why? Bars that are walkable to from my apartment are very impersonal---have no real identity with them--I wonder if I lived in Williamsburg or Bushwick whether I would simply go and hang out if I was up at that time. Well, it is not happening, you are stuck on the upper west side, cityboy; of course you could take the subways into Bushwick or Williamsburg at that time if you dared, but that is kind of impossible.
 That is the thought for today, who knows how I will feel after the opera tonight, or where I will want to go, in the interim between Tuesday night, and Wednesday day. Will report tomorrow...
