The Book of Mormon

Eugene O'Neill Theatre 230 West 49th Street New York
Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s outrageous and strangely heartwarming musical about two Mormon missionaries sent to spread their faith in a destitute Ugandan village swept the 2011 Tonys and, since then, has been a Broadway blockbuster. While Parker and Stone made their reputation with a combo of off-color humor and intelligent satire on the Emmy-winning South Park, their Broadway debut teams them up with some serious musical collaborators; co-director Casey Nicholaw, known for The Drowsy Chaperone and Aladdin, and co-creator Robert Lopez, who made the music for Avenue Q and went on to pen tunes for a little Disney movie called Frozen.

Dos Caminos Park Avenue 373 Park Ave. South Manhattan
Margaritas and Mexican cuisine meet south-of-the-border style at this boisterous, popular mega-eatery—which frequently serves as the sight for Saturday Night Live cast after-parties. With more than 100 types of tequila, Dos Caminos attracts an after-work crowd for creative libations like the chile-infused Cosmos del Diablo and addictive appetizers such as fresh guacamole prepared table-side and plantain-stuffed empanadas. But its inventive renditions of traditional Latin cooking, including Black Angus skirt steak and coconut-strawberry tres leches cake, lure folks to linger past cocktail hour.
