Item Description

Treat yourself to a Broadway Date Night! You and a guest will see Clybourne Park, the 2011 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Drama, on Broadway in VIP House Seats in the center orchestra and meet the cast in a private Backstage Tour. Plus, enjoy dinner for two at the fun and delicious Empanada Mama in Midtown!

Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and London’s Olivier Award for Best Play, CLYBOURNE PARK is the wickedly funny and fiercely provocative new play about race, real estate and the volatile values of each. Honored, acclaimed and completely outrageous, this hot new property is already the most talked-about play of the Broadway season. Civilians Associate Artists, Christina Kirk and Jeremy Shamos, will introduce you to the cast and take you and your guest on a backstage tour!

Empanada Mama boasts a menu of more than forty empanadas stuffed and sealed with wheat- or corn-based shells. Whatever flavors you like, you can expect them here, wrapped in a warm, yielding pocket: Cuban (ham, pork, and cheese), Italian (sausage, peppers, and onions), and American (cheeseburger). Other small offerings include arepas, tamales, and veal and rice balls with Greek avgolemono, fork-tender meatballs in a lemon-based gravy. Dessert empanadas are worthy of a fancier establishment; the fig, caramel, and cheese patty mingles salty cheese with sweet figs and gooey caramel. The bright, industrial interior is as quirky and varied as the menu...Empanadas aside; the something-for-everyone philosophy makes this Latin patty palace a distinctly American joint. - Timothy Cooper, Courtesy of New York Magazine's Restaurant Guide

The menu of more than forty empanadas stuffed and sealed with wheat- or corn-based shells is designed to hit a nostalgic nerve. Whatever flavors you like, you can expect them here, wrapped in a warm, yielding pocket: Greek (spinach pie), Cuban (ham, pork, and cheese), Polish (kielbasa and sauerkraut), Hawaiian (ham, cheese, and pineapple), Italian (sausage, peppers, and onions), [and] American (cheeseburger).
