My spring onion finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird, which was a stretch for her at 11. I’m super proud and read it along with her as support. As a reward, I bought the two of us tickets to the Broadway production which is touring to the Citizen’s Bank Opera House in a couple of weeks. The play is at 6:30, so we need an early dinner option as we’ll be pushing bedtime. She’s an excellent eater, but still basically a kid. So bone marrow butter and caviar type things are not going to interest her, and she’s not big on red meat. I was thinking a classy, opulent atmosphere, maybe a nice pasta, and a great dessert. Also, needs to be a short walk from the Opera House, although I suppose we could jump in a cab but that adds another layer of timing/complication. Also, must be open on Sunday
On my list are:
- No 9 Park- 2 pastas available, a few nice looking desserts
- Yvonnes- super close, the menu looks good to me, maybe a flatbread would work although might require some modification such as omitting spicy sausage, we could also eat very light and focus on the Showstopper $45 Baked Alaska. Ice cream for dinner might blow her mind…
- Had considered the Omni Parker; appears closed for dinner
Anyone care to weigh in on this challenge? Thanks!
