A Free Man of Color is such a wonderfully "theatrical" theater enterprise that it's a shame it's not a more satisfying play. The talent on display includes author John Guare (Six Degrees of Separation), director George C. Wolfe (Angels in America) and a wonderful and wonderfully large cast of 26 headed by Jeffrey Wright as the title character. more

You don't come across a new Jewish deli every day. Of course, there are New York institutions like the 2nd Avenue Deli, which is no longer on 2nd Avenue, and Katz's Deli on Houston Street where the pastrami is piled high. But you might not think of Hoyt Street in Brooklyn's Boerum Hill neighborhood. more
