Five years ago, at almost 7pm on the nose, I made a promise. I was standing in a swimming pool in southern Florida and it was the last night of vacation. My husband and I, cocktails in hand, began a ritual exchange of promises we had no intention of keeping that closed out each of our trips to the sunshine state.

Dos Caminos Provides Tasty Mexican Cuisine All Across Manhattan
When it comes to dining and writing for Manhattan Digest, I prefer to highlight singular locations that have a true local feel and make this city special. Rarely do I ever feature places that have multiple locations unless there is something special that makes me want to go there again and again. Dos Caminos is one of those exceptions.

Tony! Tony! Tony! An Interview with “Amelie” Star Tony Sheldon
Tony Sheldon is such a good actor that he’s able to convince people of his shyness. The self-described “homebody” received a Tony nomination in 2011 for his role as Bernadette, an aging, former star with whip-smart sass who rides a “budget Barbie camper” cross country in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. He was with the show for over 5 years in various countries and played 1,200 performances. Now, he’s traded his Revlon for a Renoir in the new Broadway musical, Amelie where he portrays two characters: Dufayel, a neighbor of the leading lady who suffers from brittle bone disease (which Sheldon extensively researched). Dufayel is also obsessed with re-visiting and re-painting Renoir’s “Luncheon at the Boating Party” and encourages Amelie to step out of her comfort zone to find love. Amelie, a young Parisian (played by Hamilton’s Phillipa Soo), is painfully timid and conjures a great deal of imagery in her mind’s eye. Sheldon also plays Collignon, a rather cantankerous grocer.
