Dinner with a side of magic
Bringing speakeasy and chic American diner vibes to the UAE, Broadway has finally opened its doors at the Mandarin Oriental Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi. The next best thing to hopping on a flight to New York (and taking a trip back in time), its dark, cool, modern interiors (think exposed brick walls and steel beams, plush red leather dining booths and eye-catching chandeliers) blend 1920s vibes with live entertainment and inspiration from New York’s famous theatre district. Not forgetting its brasserie-style menu packed with the ultimate in comfort food, including Lobster Thermidor, mouth-watering steaks and the most delicious cauliflower salad we’ve ever had. Ever.
And if that wasn’t enough, world-class illusionist and magician Drummond Money-Coutts has brought his IMPØSSIBLE show to the DMC Broadway Theatre. We don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say your mind will be blown as he performs his legendary card magic, mind-reading and mentalism tricks, all in an intimate, mystical space. Because we could all do with a little magic right now.
