Vicky & Lysander at Grand Opening<\/p><\/div>\n

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

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\u2019s Food Shop<\/a> with dessert by Sugar Sweet Sunshine<\/a> – two New York joints that look perfectly reputable.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Guess it’s popular.<\/p>\n

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 ….<\/p>\n
