For those who like life on the D-list

Beginning on Friday March 11, 2011, comedienne Kathy Griffin is performing her stand-up act on Broadway. In “Kathy Griffin Wants a Tony”, this infamous D-list star breaks all the boundaries of typical Broadway shows. She continues to dish on all A-list star activities and news of the day. Kathy’s signature style of story telling and position as the so-called underdog makes the audience feel as though they are visiting with a best friend, a best friend with cool insider info. Her show is not confined to a time limit but can run anywhere from 90 minutes to 120 minutes. This show is a much more organic format and you know that the show you are seeing live is unique. An additional, rare treat of this type of format is the stage door experience. After the show, Kathy comes out of the stage door (the black gate on the left side of the main door you walk into) and will pose for photos and sign autographs for some lucky fans. Since the crowd will no doubt be enormous she will not get to everyone, but the graciousness she has will shine through and it will make you root for her even more.

Performance Schedule: Friday and Saturday, March 11-12 @8pm Sunday, March 13 @3pm Monday, March 14 @8pm Tuesday, March 15 @7pm Wednesday - Friday, March 16-18 @8pm Saturday, March 19 @2 and 8pm

For a New Chain of Mexican Fast Food: “Dos Toros Taqueria”

When it comes to fast food there are the names we are familiar with: McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Chipotle. In you live in New York City, there is a new kid in town: Dos Toros. Dos Toros is relatively new to this area but with any hope there might be one in your town soon. Started by two brothers, Leo and Oliver Kremer, from Berkeley, California, the Mexican food you find here is inspired by food they loved growing up. In California, the brothers grew up worshipping Gordo Taqueria, a favorite of Bay Area residents since 1977 (now promptly added to my San Francisco to eat list). Much of the recipes and even decor found at Dos Toros has been modeled on Gordo. Before moving to NYC in 2008, the brothers were living very different lives. Leo was the bassist for the band “Third Eye Blind”. Oliver fresh out of college, considered working in the technology or finance industry. Both disillusioned with their lives, they decided to pursue so...

For Intermission in Hyde Park: “Eveready Diner”

I have been spending a lot of time with the Roosevelt’s lately, and it has been delightful. Despite the fact that my favorite members of this famous family have passed, they still bring me an exceeding amount of joy and inspiration. It is less strange than it sounds and I can prove it. As part of my ritual of trying to accomplish all of the things on my annual to do list (http://thequeenoff-ckingeverything.blogspot.com/2015/03/for-year-5-2015-2016-to-do-list.html), I decided this was the year I would finally make to each of the Roosevelt residences that have been on my list for as long as I can remember. Small goals like that are how I tackle a list as long as mine. But the houses aren’t the focal point just yet. First we are going to talk about the places I got to scope out because I was in the backyard of greatness. So while I am starting out with food, it is not the way the day progressed. First I found myself at...

For Find Out Friday - Why is One Foot More Ticklish Than the Other?

As I sit here typing I can’t seem to stop thinking about my nails. Mainly that they REALLY need to get done. They are starting to chip and become unruly. As soon I as think about making an appointment my mind immediately returns to this question: “which of my feet will be ticklish this time?” Because I am a girl that needs her fingernails and toenails to match, I always get a pedicure whenever I get my nails done. And while this should be an activity I enjoy, it often feels like a chore, despite my going only once every three to four weeks. I know; #firstworldproblems. Anyway, each and every time I get my toes done, as soon as they are done soaking in the bubbly water I wonder, which of my feet will be ticklish today? Without fail one of them always seems to get the brunt of it and suddenly what was supposed to be a relaxing activity has made me all tense. So, is there a scientific reason for this? According to most research, yes. While the ...
