Dinner and a show?
Here's a great idea for Friday or Saturday. Come down to Madison Avenue and stop in for dinner at the brand new Whackburger (across from Madison Theater) and then, come around the corner on Seventh Street and pop in the Artisan Enterprise Center and check out a terrific art exhibit and a really funny play. You could do all of that for a little more than twenty bucks! Drinks afterwards at the Avenue Lounge -- optional, but highly recommended!
