Day 9 began with a late wake up, and a taxi cab over to Greenwich Village, to the world famous Katz’ Delicatessen. This is the deli seen in many films and tv shows, including most memorably, the famous “fake orgasm” scene in When Harry Met Sally. Needless to say, it was simply and completely delicious. The corned beef on rye was outrageous, along with everything else. It is a classic New York experience, and must be seen and tasted to be believed.

We walked around Greenwich some more, then headed back to the hotel for some relaxation. After that we headed over to New World Stages, and found a nearby restaurant before our evening performance of “Avenue Q”. Dinner was tasty, and then it was over to the beautiful complex which housed the show, as well as 4 other various productions.

The show, as I expected, was terrific. It has held up fantastically, and looks great in its new Off-Broadway location. The performances were all great, with the standout being Sarah Stiles, who was truly fantastic as Kate Monster. The show has such a sweet, funny book, and the songs are as tuneful and hilarious as they were when I first heard them. It is still a definite must-see, and if you have waited 6 years to see it, it is still not too late.

After the show, it was a tasty dessert at Thalia. So, on to our last day!!
