Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t live in NYC

Vicky & Lysander at Grand Opening

Earlier this week, while I was at my day job, but thinking about serving dinner that night, I got this message about Vicky & Lysander’s month-long dinner party, at a store front gallery in New York.

It’s dinner for 12, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the month of March – sitting in the storefront, food catered in from Mama’s Food Shop with dessert by Sugar Sweet Sunshine – two New York joints that look perfectly reputable.

For $40/ticket, people get to eat with strangers and make uncomfortable small talk. Oh, and looks like it’s two seatings every night, one at 7:00 p.m., and one at 9:00 and they just extended into April. That’s a lot of people!

Guess it’s popular.

Sounds like it’d be fun – but I’d want to do the cooking myself instead of catering in. There are pretty many open storefronts here in Madison nowadays ….
