Ellen’s Stardust Diner
After the show last night, Lisa and I hit Ellen’s Stardust Diner for some dessert. We shared a nice piece of apple pie with a scoop of homemade ice cream. The pie was good, the ice cream too. But that’s not what was really cool about the place.
Every person working in the diner has a voice, most of them have very good voices. Every once in a while, they kick on some tunes and sing a song for the patrons. One guy did a particularly good rendition of Man of La Mancha. The kicker, however, was the guy who did I Can Hear The Bells. The song is done in the play Hairspray by a woman, so it’s not easy to pull off as a dude. But he did a masterful job.
