So Broadway didn't work out because we were too sick last week to reserve tickets. So we went to see a Tom Stoppard play 'Rock and Roll' Fabulous!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T om_Stoppard
We got incredibly lucky in the short line for same day play tickets, because the broadway musicals line was maybe an hour and a half wait.
And, as if an entire evening of Czech dissidence weren't enough to cause my heart to palpitate, I also saw Anthony Rapp, of the original Broadway cast of 'Rent'. We had a bit of eye contact, and I will forever believe that we had 'a moment' in which I hoped to convey what might have been more obnoxiously said in 20 minutes of gushing.
I really, really missed theatre.

Yesterday we went to the west village and I ate gluten free panini with lentil soup, while most of it anyway, and then we saw a crazy guy in washington square park with a cape.Then we were walking to a bookstore and saw Julianne Moore and she made eye contact and it was just like something out of The Hours. She had no makeup on etc.

We continued to walk by and then we hit a bakery so we were suspicious she was on a cupcake run.
Then we met Jess's friend Emmy and had great hot chocolate. Then I crashed from all the excitement and slept in the library at the Harriman institute while Jess had her last class.
NYC is SO AMERICAN. It's like everything I dreamed about in Ukraine when I was thinking of America. Food and music and diversity and the streets are empty compared to Delhi. I wish there was a University here that met all my requirements.

So I am on to solid food in small amounts, very exciting. I think the India trip is going to be one of those things that is much better six months later. It was just hassle after hassle after infectious disease. I won't want Indian food for a while, but at least my bollywood addiction has stayed in place.
