Musicals & Michelin Moments

Playing just underneath Wicked (physically!) which also happened to be the last musical that we saw in Broadway way back in 2011!

A lazy but lovely day and honestly, exactly what was needed. With the temperature hovering somewhere between “brisk” and “why is the air attacking me?”, we abandoned any hopeful notions of outdoor pickleball much to Mal's disappointment. Besides, with only two days before we’re strapped into planes for an obscenely long stretch, recovery has become a legitimate travel priority.

So yes… another sleep-in. Zero regrets. We surfaced too late for a proper wander through Chelsea Market, which was mildly tragic. We completely underestimated how much the Galapagos would zap our energy levels.

The day’s real highlight was Just In Time, one of the experiences we’d been most excited about. Both Mal and I adore Jonathan Groff, and he absolutely delivered. The show, a musical tribute to Bobby Darin, debuted on Broadway in April. Jonathan Groff was phenomenal, full of effortless charm and charisma. And yes, we sat far enough back to avoid the infamous Groff Sauce. Safety first. We could see the sprays of both flying through the air...

So excited. Set was simple, intimate and immersive

No gimmicky gadgets or wires...just good content and good music

The man himself

Dinner was at The Modern at MoMA, a restaurant boasting two Michelin stars, and a front-row view of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. The food was very good, but the service was surprisingly disengaged. Polite, precise, but perfunctory. Overall, our experience at Yoshoku still holds the best-meal crown for this trip.

Day 20: A lazy start, a Broadway heart-throb, and a Michelin meal that left us longing for Yoshoku. 

The moMA has several dining options

Not a bad mocktail

Food was good

This one had a lot of instructions lol but the waitress didn't laugh at our jokes...

The restaurant were made aware that this was part of our Festival of Fifty!

Their famous "egg on egg on egg"

Happy Birthday to us

Very pretty but it was just too sweet and too intense

Maple chocolate, and cherry and earl grey gummy. Again great concepts but was just too sweet to savour the natural flavours
