BROADWAY'S PALM WEST IS NOT ON STRIKE

Chris Gilman and Patti Labelle recently at Palm West

For the past week at the Palm West in New York, the restaurant (and, major domo CHRIS GILMAN) have been offering free deserts for any patron displaying an unusable theater ticket. "In light of the strike, we wanted to do something to commemorate everyone who's here to see a show ... and the fact that it might be dark', says Gilman. The steak-eatery, which has become a staple in the Theater community and has hosted numerous theater-events (HAIRSPRAY; THE FANTASTICKS; WICKED) is hopeful that it will be resolved after the Holiday weekend. Gilman adds that the "Cheese cake is running #1, with the carrot cake a very close second." Cheers to our hometown spot!!! (check out the clams!)
