Dinner and a Show My friend Kate’s dad was in town this weekend, so he graciously took us to a lovely dinner and to see The Miracle Worker, which opened two days ago and stars Abigail Breslin. Before the play, we grabbed a bite next door at Toloache.  Considering options around Broadway can sometimes be limited to Sbarros or TGIFridays, this place had a downtown vibe with delicious ceviche, tacos and fresh guacamole.  If you’re ever catching a show, I highly recommend eating here first. The Miracle Worker is the story of Helen Keller and is playing at the Circle in the Square theater.  Abigail was amazing as Helen, but the real star was Alison Pill, who played her teacher.  The acting was so eloquent and heartbreaking that I didn’t even get to use any of my HK jokes. Sometimes I forget that NYC has so much to offer.  I think I have a natural aversion to anything touristy in the city, so I rarely venture out of my neighborhood bubbles.  I’m quite grateful that I had the opportunity to hustle up to Midtown on Friday night and take in a Broadway show.
