Amanda's trying to fix my child hood memories. like the negative association i have about going to places like the Rainbow room. stuffy and uncomfortable. wearing tight collared shirts and pants that were pulled up too high over my belly button. parting my hair like a dork. being told i wasn't sitting properly. getting a death stare. pinched under the table. boring conversations. restless and stale. whereas....she loved coming to fancy places....because it would be a free flowing, free eating campaign of easy going and fun loving family.
the rainbow room is on the 65th floor of 30rock. it brings you back to the era of the American Tycoon. this type of chandelier-ed luxury doesn't quite translate the same way today....suits and pearls are tacky and an amex and converse can pretty much get you in anywhere in NY. but holiday meals are the perfect excuse for fancy cheer. put on the stretchy uniqlo khaki's and wear a cardigan sweater to cover the belly so it'll hide the muffin top while you attack the buffet for seconds and thirds and dessert....and just keep stuffing ur face. u drink the rose...and u listen to live christmas sinatra. santa clause walks around greeting the guests. the view can't be beat. there's nothing like christmas in NY.
