TB_chop_suey.jpgI’m always asked for recommendations of  where to dine in the Big Apple. Some places I recommend because of the food, others for the view or atmosphere. Chop Suey is the latter. It’s an Asian-style restaurant (obviously)  in a glass-enclosed second floor location overlooking all the happenings in Times Square. A perfect place to drink in not only the city lights but your favorite libation as well. Or for a nibble before or after a Broadway show.

While there, we shared a bowl of chili-flavored noodles with chunks of Chinese roasted pork. Quite nice. Spicy, but not too so.

Afterwords I saw a must-see show: Tracey Lett’s  “AUGUST: Osage County” at The Music Box theater (239 W 45). At that production the understudy Dee Pelletier played one of the main characters, Barbara Fordam. I can’t imagine a finer performance. Kudos to Pelletier.

PS: I am aware that Amy Morton won a Tony for her performance as Barbara.
