Pinafore and Pio Pio


Yesterday, we joined two friends to see H.M.S. Pinafore at the Barrio Theater. We've seen Pinafore before, even have the record. It's one of the most tuneful and erudite dialogues of any play I've ever seen. It's hard not to sing along. Costumes were gorgeous; singing was fabulous; production was perfect.

After Pinafore we cabbed it to Pio Pio, a Peruvian restaurant on the West Side. We had Pisco sours and delicious food. I spoke Spanish with a Peruvian woman, who thought the weather was cold and that Machu Picchu was too touristy.

No guinea pig on the menu, but classic cerviche dishes, lots of fresh fish and chicken. It was a great day in New York.
