New York on Monday Night



We started the evening at the 7:00pm taping of David Letterman. It will air this Friday. Some things you may want to know about the Late Show but never thought to ask:
  • Even though it is taped, the show is in real time - meaning we are listening to the band while you are watching all those commercials.
  • During the commercial breaks, David took off his coat every time. That was hard to believe since we were advised to bring our coats to compensate for the 53 degrees in the studio. Those lights must put out a lot of heat.
  • There is no laugh track. Just about 400 people acting like they were really enjoying the show as we were coached to do before it began. For the most part, we really did enjoy it.

Then after the show, we met our cousin Debbie Jonnes who is now living here as a director with the Bowery Mission, located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We found a great delicatessen in Times Square where the cheesecake was the best (and biggest) we have ever had.

Fabulous! You guys seem to fit right in there in Manhattan! :) I've wanted to go to Dave's show every time I've been there but haven't ever been able to fit it in. Fun times!

Now hungry for a piece of real NY cheesecake...
