To most people, the name A.A. Milne is closely associated with an animated friendly bear who pals around with a pig, a donkey, and his human friend, Christopher. Although it is true that Winnie the Pooh is his most well-known creation, the British author also penned 18 plays and 3 novels over the course of his career. His work was produced on both sides of the Atlantic. [Read more…] about Theater Review: A.A. Milne’s “The Lucky One”

Ten years ago, Williamsburg was a place I would just hang out in. As of recently I now live there. When moving into any new neighborhood, you have to find your “go to spots”.

So that morning, my body was ready for a good meal and drink to help lighten the burden that was my hangover. [Read more…] about Little King Provides an Epic Brunch in the heart of East Williamsburg

“House of Cards” Star Kevin Spacey to Play Limited New York Theater Engagement
“The best that we can do is to be kindly and helpful toward our friends and fellow passengers who are clinging to the same speck of dirt while we are drifting side by side to our common doom.” That ironic-and timely-tidbit of inspiration was attributed to Clarence Darrow, the famous United States Lawyer who tackled hopeless cases, opposed the death penalty, and was an ally to labor unions.

Junior’s Cheesecake in Times Square Makes Visiting Midtown a Sinful Treat
Junior’s is nested in Times Square between a bunch of modern high rise buildings, and a bunch of Broadway theaters. Inside, with the polished 60s décor, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Junior’s in Times Square has been around decades (the Times Square location opened in 2006).

Stephan Wolfert Captivates in Bedlam’s “Cry Havoc!”
Solo shows are a dime a dozen; the cost effective genre is staged in levels ranging from the prestigious big leagues of Broadway to modest community theaters in small towns around the world. While I have the utmost respect for actors who tackle the form, I have left many of them wishing for either a better performance, a more compelling narrative, or a bit more detail about the person’s life and the events that have shaped it.
