No Gum chewing...

 
A truly great movie
 
 
I hate seeing servers chewing gum, it just doesn't look good.

Darby Road, Scotchplains NJ

I just wanted give another shout out to the Darby Road, Below are their Willy's Wings, classic chicken wings roasted and then fried. I'm enjoying mine in a Jameson BBQ sauce.
 
I'm also so, so happy I'm able to watch Real Madrid play. It just opened up this past summer and it's really clear this local pub with be a town favorite for a very long time, great food, service and a menu that isn't the norm.

Becco, Restaurant Row NYC

 
Before any Broadway show we always visit Restaurant Row in NYC, it's a must before any show, with more then 30 different restaurant concepts their defiantly one for you....my favorite is Becco...The name Becco is derived from the Italian verb, beccare, which means to peck, nibble, or savor something in a discriminating way.
 
Lidia Bastianich & her son, Joe, opened Becco in 1993 & since then, it has been providing the New York community with outstanding service for over 18 years.

NYC and The Phantom


As part of our NYC day we took my son to see The Phantom of the Opera, it's so cool introducing him to Broadway and the Arts to my son and watching this eyes and mind open right up with amazement.
 
I'm a true fan of the Phantom and have seen it 1/2 a dozen times, even had the pleasure of seeing the Phantom in Vegas @ the Venetian. It been on Broadway for 27 years simple because it's amazing. I highly recommend taking your family to any Broadway show.
