A to Z Challenge: My theme this year is NYC before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
BROADWAY: I’m up to 19 Broadway shows; 14 since we moved here last March. TKTS, the discounted ticket vendor had become my go-to app. With the exception of a few, I knew little to nothing about most of the performances before seeing them, which is I believe is half the fun.
Technically, Cyrano was off-Broadway, but up until the mid-1800s, the heart of Broadway was located at Union Square where we got to see Mr. Dinklage. Check out TheaterSeatStore for some fun facts about the history of Broadway, like this gem:
“During the back half of the century, there were fewer prostitutes in the audience which in turn increased the number of women who attended theater.”
Because performances are suspended, actors are finding ways to raise money AND still keep us entertained. The #BWayHandWashChallenge encourages Broadway stars to sing show tunes while washing their hands for 20 seconds, all the while raising money for theater charities.
On to another hygiene challenge . . .
BIDETS: That’s what in those boxes. Not one, but two bidets.
Do we need two? No. Do we need one? No. Does The Husband need to sleep at night? Yes. Not knowing where his next roll of toilet paper was going to come from, simply became too much–for us both.
Surprisingly, unlike a lot of places, it hasn’t been an issue getting tissue here in Brooklyn. I hope I can return these bidets.
I think it’s great that you don’t research a show before you see it. That sounds like much more fun! And good luck with those bidets! We are not fretting over toilet paper yet, but our hand sanitizer is going quickly. Good thing we have hand bidets aka faucets!
Maybe there was plenty of TP in Brooklyn, but in Queens (where one of my cousins live) there is still none to be found. Another cousin’s ex-girlfriend (we are still friends) rented an apartment for a year and just discovered she had a bidet. She had no idea what it was and never used it. It was a learning curve for her, though.
I hope people are finally understanding that TP isn’t something we need to worry about and are refraining from bulk buying. The bidets are still in their boxes . . .
Definitely and interesting combination of “B” words! 🙂 Broadway to bidets! Love it. I hope you can return the bidets too.
