How's this for a night out: You and a guest (better make it your spouse or significant other) take a pair of VIP, cut-to-the-head-of-the-line, guaranteed-entry tickets to 733 Eleventh Avenue @ 52nd Street where you laugh your way through a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Winner of 18 Emmy and two Peabody Awards, and voted one of "The 100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME" by Time Magazine. The Daily Show has evolved into the sharpest, most incisive satire of politics and the media on television. Oh, and it's impossible to get tickets to unless you know someone.

Show Details: 4:30 Arrival, 6-6:15 taping starts—and you're done by 7PM—just in time to head uptown for a cozy dinner (and a post-mortem on Jon's funniest material) at Bar Boulud, Daniel Boulud’s casual bistro, with a complete menu of seasonal French bistro cooking (1900 Broadway, right across from Lincoln Center). Includes three courses with wine pairings. The restaurant’s cellar features the wines of Burgundy and the Rhóne Valley. The main dining room includes communal seating at the charcuterie bar and a tasting table in the round. Weather permitting, enjoy the outdoor terrace.
