Familiar Flavors, Refurbished
Ghanem's mission for Radio City was to create a comfortable atmosphere where a 70-year-old couple could dine alongside a high school kid looking for a slice. His biggest challenge thus far was getting his oven vent installed within his 36-day build-out. Because the building he's in at Tivoli Village is four stories, he had to rent a crane and have the vent placed from the top of the structure. The restaurateur described his menu as food that people enjoy eating, but with a little something unexpected inside. Thus far, Yi's biggest challenge has been to make sure he's consistently meeting his own high level of service and food quality. He said he wants to pay attention to customer feedback and implement any common threads into his enterprise.Radio City Rockettes Pictures - News
New York City's Radio City Music Hall no longer belongs to the Rockettes alone. The Cirque du Soleil has dragged this hallowed 5, 800 seat hall into the 21st century with a wonderfully eccentric show named Zarkana that blends magic, music,

'Zarkana' unveiled in New York with mixed results « Artesia News
NEW YORK (AP) — That Cirque du Soleil still doesn’t have a permanent home in New York is somewhat bizarre.
New York is already a circus town: It supports two — Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey and the Big Apple Circus. Plus, anyone riding the subway during rush hour will appreciate a good contortionist. And clowns? This city has plenty of ‘em.
Yet Cirque’s presence has been spotty, consisting mostly of traveling shows such as “Kooza” and “Wintuk,” even though their permanent shows have thrived in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. An attempt to create “Banana Shpeel” here as an annual event last year fell flat.
So it’s with a dash of brashness that Cirque opened “Zarkana” on Wednesday at Radio City Music Hall, hoping its 12-act, $50 million “acrobatic rock opera” might become a summer staple, the equivalent of warm weather Rockettes.
Its ambition is evident in its location — the hulking, 6,000-seat Radio City Music Hall with one of the largest stages in the world and a far cry from the more intimate venues Cirque has used before in the city. The massive size offers “Zarkana” the ability to have three trapeze artists swinging abreast, but threatens to swallow up smaller acts, such as the solitary hand-balancer or the juggler.
The biggest, most muscular acts — the acrobats rolling around inside Cyr wheels, the frightening Wheel of Death and the demanding trapeze — give visitors the red-meat experience of the circus, while softer acts such as a sand painter, an aerial rope duet by two graceful performers and eight men tossing around flags have the feel of an Olympic opening ceremony.
Overall, this may not be the homerun that Cirque was hoping for. The show, which leaves for Moscow and Madrid in October and hopes to return to New York next summer, seems to suffer from franchise fatigue. There’s nothing gasp-worthy here for a jaded city where Broadway is just a few blocks away. Few veterans of Cirque will be stunned.
“Zarkana,” written and directed by Francois Girard, has a very loose plot that tries to connect the acts without much success. It centers on a magician (the Canadian singer Garou, doing his best Tom Waits impression) who is trying to find his lost love and thereby his professional mojo in an abandoned theater. There’s also a screechy original score the melds elements of rock opera, electronica and world beat by Nick Littlemore.
