Recommend a New York restaurant & show

Thank you everyone. I thought I would come back to post where we eventually went. For dinner we chose Foley’s Fish House, as that was recommended by a couple of you. The view was great, the atmosphere fine, the service very good, the food decent (but not great) and the alcohol plentiful. We had a great evening.

For the show we chose something not recommended in this thread at all - Chicago. This was partly because it sounded like the opposite of a LLoyd-Webber style musical, and partly because they had a show on Sunday evening (few others did) and that best suited our schedule. We loved it - we both thought it the best musical we have ever seen.

And to add a recommendation myself, we had pre-theatre dinner at Pigalle on the corner of 8th Avenue and 48th street and it was excellent for the price.

I’m glad you had a good time. I love Pigalle as well and Chicago was a good choice. Did you know that the London production of Chicago is going to feature Ashley Simpson as Roxy Hart soon?

You got to see “Chicago” with Usher playing Billy Flynn. People are knocking each other over to get tickets to that. Lucky you!

We had good seats too - four or five rows back, albeit somewhat off to one side. We got them in late June for only $67 each. I noticed that the couple in front of us in line had paid $115. I don’t know if it was known that Usher would be in the cast when we booked because, I am ashamed to admit, I’d never heard of him so the name would have meant nothing if I saw a cast list.
