It is not so difficult to gather everyone and go out to dinner. Well, not so difficult as long it is in your own neighborhood. But when you are going to to a play in NYC, on meatless Friday, well that makes it more than difficult.
Instead of blindly looking for a place to eat in Manhattan, Erin asked her sister-in-law, who happens to be a frequent visitor of the Broadway area, to recommend a good place to eat fast and eat good, and also eat meatless. Her sister-in-law recommended John’s Pizza. So off we went, before the play, to John’ s Pizza.
A simple pizza dinner did become the choice of the evening , in spite of my husband’s, I don’t want to eat pizza routine. He was soooo out voted.
As my parent’s review the menu, they take in the surroundings. See ,John’s Pizza was a church and it still had a church feel and look.
It is always a good thing when Christian keeps himself entertained. The i-phone always manages to keep him busy, he plays the games and slides through all the pictures and videos on the phone…keeping Christian quiet, and busy, I think there is an app for that.
John’s brick oven pizza was delicious. We order three large pies, plain, peppers and onions, and meatballs. Yes, I did say no meat Fridays didn’t I. The meat pie was for my husband. He just cannot give anything up…
We also had to have a salad..
But the best part of the meal was the dessert.
Christian loved his bear ice cream and I enjoyed the rice pudding.
I was suppose to share the pudding with Erin, but she only took a few spoonfuls, then I had eating the whole thing. Which I did with no problem. 🙂
When we all finished eating we quickly packed the kids up and headed down the block…our next stop was a Broadway show… The Lion King…
