Is Kaneza Schaal's piece about reentry into society after prison dance or theater?  You'll have to see for yourself to decide.  In any event, don't let the subject matter mislead you into thinking this is some kind of kitchen-sink piece:  literal realism and straight narrative are not on the table in Schaal's work.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  There's never been a Persian restaurant in New York as good as Sofreh.  The fragrant, floral food -- with a flavor profile that's really unlike anything else -- is cooked remarkably well, giving the best account of this seductive cuisine we've yet had here.  The food is so good, in fact, that it makes you ignore the inept (but sweet) service and the horrible wine program.  Which makes it even more of a shock that the cocktail program is excellent -- tweaks of classics perfectly calibrated to reflect the unique flavor profile of the cuisine.
