Patrick,

A friend and I enjoy Telephone for its comfortable bar and early happy hour prices. And the food is pretty straightforward and reasonable. There's plenty of tables so you should have no trouble getting a table after the theater if you opt for this.

Mmmm. Early happy hour, did you say? Good way to check it out -- and Lady Bracknell is always funnier after having a few cocktails.

mmm. Bugswife, walk and eat a hot dog at the same time. You're kidding, right?

Hey. I've been thinking about those hot dogs. Maybe one BEFORE the show to hold us over? Do we get the Crif Dog (the smoked one) or a New Yorker (the grilled all beef one)?

I just want to say, I don't think I'll ever be tired of The Importance of Being Earnest. DH & I just saw it last weekend (a Boston production) and even though I've seen it more than once before and just re-read the play, I still get a huge kick out of it. The wittiest play ever!

"Lady Bracknell. . . . Now to minor matters. Are your parents living?

Jack. I have lost both my parents.

Lady Bracknell. To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

Yep. Funny stuff. It gets me every time.

Neo-
The first act of Importance is probably the funniest act ever written, And the line you cited is perfect.

I once saw Quentin Crisp as Lady Bracknell. Highly stylized.

crif dogs have all manor of hotdogs, most of which are fried! btw...there is a "speak easy", that you can find by ringing the phone in the red phone booth at crif dogs. they open up after 5 i think. if they have space (it is tiny), you can come in.
