"Microscopic Live Cinema-Theater": Sachiyo Takahashi manipulates figurines that are then projected, in real time, onto a big screen — with live musical accompaniment (piano on Thursday and Saturday; bass guitar on Friday and Sunday). This takes off from Saint-Exupéry, following the adventures of a sheep in search for the meaning of life (I've often wondered if sheep thought about such things).
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: I've always thought Sparks Steak House oversalted their steaks — but you can't argue with success. On Sunday, when it's closed, West African that's perhaps a bit too assimilated at Lagos Restaurant & Lounge.
