Doesn’t this just sound charmingly bucolic? Yes, Lincoln Center, I will indeed come by for some gelato and l-e-m-o-n-a-d-e tomorrow. I have the perfect Dartmouth sweatshirt blanket for the occasion.

If you go as well, come find me on the lawn. I’ll be wearing a pink carnation.*
Also, question: will the Illumination Lawn ever feature something akin to Epcot’s IllumiNations??
