Thursday night we put on our finest and headed to the lights of Broadway. The entertainment for the evening - Spamalot, " a new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Month Python and the Holy Grail".

=Michael and I have been wanting to see Spamalot, so we were thrilled to join Gordy and Linda for the evening. We were even more thrilled when we sat down in our front row mezzanine seats that Linda secured.

The show was funny and irreverent starting with the playbill all the way through until the final bow. In true Monty Python fashion the show was loaded with silly gags and songs. And even though it was not a Disney production, it boasted 3 tap numbers and several big show numbers with synchronized choreography and glittery costumes.

Post theatre we quickly strolled through the lights and crowds of Times Sq. and headed uptown to Cafe Lalo. Cafe Lalo is a fabulous cafe that has amazing desserts and a nice selection of coffees and cocktails.

You might know Cafe Lalo from the movie You've Got Mail, it is featured in the scene where Meg Ryan is waiting to meet her e-mail admirer.
(She is reading a book and has a red rose on the table.)
No matter your mood, Lalo has a dessert to suit your tastes. I had a fruity mousse concoction with plenty of fresh whipped cream and strawberries, while Linda has the most decadent chocolate caramel tart and Gordy finished off a blueberry crumb tart and small (really mini) cannoli.
Michael had to work late and didn't get dinner, so he had an egg dish that looked fantastic - poached eggs with a Mediterranean style salsa.
I'm so focused on dessert when I go to Lalo that I didn't even realize they served regular food.
Unfortunately, the evening had to end when the clock turned to midnight - Michael and I both had to get up for work on Friday - wuh wuhhhh.
