The Mets, Denzel and Dave's B-day!
Dave had a great time with his family for his birthday weekend!
Thursday: Dave and his parents went out for a walk and ended up getting tickets for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" at the Imperial Theater. They said it was excellent! (By the way, tourists..a NY tip: YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO TKTS ...you can just walk up to the theater a bit before the show to check if there are tickets available. Very often, there are! Save yourself an afternoon in line! And be flexible!)
Friday: Dave and his family went to the first of three Mets/Yankees game at Shea (but, the Mets lost). Still fun!
Saturday: They toured the city, then I met up with them at Jeckyl and Hyde's in the West Village for dinner (along with his Aunt, Uncle and cousins from Long Island). I had mentioned this place before, but to recap: It's a haunted house-themed restaurant. There are characters on the wall that come to life, bizarre characters that walk around and entertain, there are classic horror movies playing, and the bathrooms are secretly hidden behind different parts of a bookcase that runs down the walls of a narrow hallway.
A few photos:
Tobias the Werewolf (spoke to and made fun of a few people here and there)
One of the weird characters made fun of Kevin, so they competed... in an Irish folk-dance contest... to some silly Britney Spears song. Kevin won!
One of the hundreds of things hanging on the wall
The bathrooms are hidden behind these bookcases...
The second Mets/Yankees game went on (without them this time), and they won!
Also, earlier that afternoon while walking by the Belasco Theatre where Julius Caesar is playing, a group of people were waiting at the exit. Denzel Washington strolled out, fans screaming for him (in case you didn't know, Denzel Washington plays "Brutus"...I heard the play was AWFUL). He was wearing a Yankees hat, so Dave and his brothers repeatedly chanted, "YANK-EES SUCK!"
Sunday, Dave’s b-day:
A guy’s day out: Dave, his brothers and Dad go to the third Mets/Yankees game at Shea (the Mets lost!). His mom and sister-in-law went on a shopping spree. For dinner, I met up with them at Dallas Bar-B-Que and then came home to celebrate with cake and beer!
I stayed out of everything but two dinners. I slept all day, every day. I have another doctor's appointment (this time with an actual one versus a walk-in clinic or a hospital). I'm still sick, but I went to work today anyway and left early. I’m working on it!!!
