Haven Rooftop, atop the Sanctuary Hotel, is in the heart of the theatre district, making it a good spot for pre-theatre brunch. We stopped in before heading west on 47th to see the final performance of Prayer for the French Republic.

We started brunch with mimosas ($13) and a virgin bloody mary ($12). Yet instead of egg options, two of us chose their lobster roll served with fries ($30), another their perfectly sliced heavenly chicken in a beurre blanc sauce with mesclun salad and fries ($28). Food was good, as always.

As the play began, we realized we had seen it before. My memory isn’t that good, but my computer remembered me seeing it in 2022 at City Center. This final performance was a much better, more powerful production, reminding us that a better future is only possible if you live to have that future.
