Now that Eric is the toast of (the) New York(er) and Hilary has been on PBS, I feel I can spend some time on more important matters, namely the bedbug infestations at the David H. Koch Theater (New York City Ballet, City Opera) and the Metropolitan Opera House.
Via Gothamist today:
Yesterday news broke that classy bedbugs
with a craving for blue blood had infiltrated a dressing room at
Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, which is used by the New York
City Ballet. Well hold onto your monocles, people: Not content with the
gossamer blood of ballerinas, the parasites have branched out to the
Metropolitan Opera House, where corpulent divas await. Late yesterday the Met issued a statement
confirming that “bedbugs were discovered in some isolated locations but
not in any public areas. There was no evidence of infestation. Those
areas identified will be treated this afternoon.”
Commenters on Gothamist have already started with the “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” jokes. My dream is that someone will start Tweeting as the @lincolncenterbedbug (photo below).
