"“I love the formality and efficiency of a pre-theater dinner. Once I was dining with my family at Orso, a superb Italian spot, before we were supposed to go see Hadestown, but the power went out throughout midtown right as we were finishing up our entrées. Judd Apatow happened to be eating at a table right by us, and my family and assorted Apatows had to assess together 'what was going on.' One of the many things I love about New York is that it feels like everyone has a story like this about nearly every restaurant in the city.”" - brennan carley
