So last night we went to see the revival of Sondheim’s Follies. You know how I love live theater! Our evening began, as it frequently does, in Ellen’s Stardust Diner. We love this place! You go for the atmosphere, not for the food. This is not a place for quiet conversation.. Ellen’s, as I’ve probably mentioned before, is a salute to the pop culture of the 1950’s, the outside designed to look like an old subway car, and inside you’ll find old fashioned diner tables, video screens showing scenes from I Love Lucy and real vinyl records and album covers (from artists like Johnny Mathis and Elvis Presley) on the walls. It’s also the home of the singing wait staff, where the person who just took your order is the next person to grab the mike and sing. The wait staff used to be very 1950’s as well. The guys would wear red bowling shirts and paper soda jerk hats. The girls would be in poodle skirts, red t shirts and little scarves tied around their necks...
