solo date

I've never minded going out by myself. Sometimes it's just easier.

I read about a new play.




The reviews are universally excellent. And then there are two added benefits: the play is a one-act, 80 minutes long; and on the eastside, not far from work and not far from home.

I find a cheap ticket on TDF ($12), but there's only one available. I buy it anyway.

After a long, but decent day, I take myself to dinner at the Food Hall in the Plaza Hotel. There are an overwhelming number of options.  I choose Luke's Lobster, and treat myself to their signature trio of half sandwiches: crab, shrimp and lobster.



Dinner is okay; the lobster rolls on the Cape are so much better. These lack something; I think its taste.

I get to the theater, a short walk from the Plaza. My seat is excellent. Second row. The small theater is packed.

I never find it awkward going to theater (or even dinner) alone. The play is outstanding. This powerful piece of drama is far more satisfying than my dinner. See it if you can.
