Night Out on the [relative] Cheap

Adam and I had half priced tickets from Bostix for Chorus Line last night so we needed to grab dinner before the show downtown. We decided on Kingston Station for their Gruyere cheese frites with truffled mayo so we were pleasantly surprised to find out when we arrived that they have a happy hour with awesomely cheaper full sized appetizers at their bar Monday-Wednesday 5-7pm. Appetizer that are normally $8-13 go for $5-6 during this happy hour special. We tried the frites, chili rubbed chicken wings, mussels, hummus and pita. All were delicious and we also shared a beer.

Getting back to our half priced night on the town, I was able to buy our tickets from Bostix last week through their advance purchase website. You don't get to pick your seats, but the tickets are half off and you don't have to wait in line the day of. You know which section you'll be in, but not the exact seat until you show up. The musical had no intermission so the doors stayed close throughout the show. Since the show wasn't sold out, there were tons of empty seats in front of us so everyone started moving down and toward the center. We picked up and moved on down like everyone else and ended up with great seats in the center much closer to the stage. It's a great little perk for a weeknight show and now that I know about Kingston Station's Monday through Wednesday happy hour, weeknight theater tickets are even more enticing.
