Five Points

Dish | Mar 30, 2010

This week on Dish, Ed and his guests dig into the short ribs, sardines and oysters at the easy-going and romantic restaurant, Five Points, on Great Jones Street, in a space that was formerly a trucking garage. Joining him for lunch are writer and MacArthur Genius, Willie Reale, theatre actor and producer Mark Linn Baker, and Obie Award winning actress, Martha Plimpton.

About the guests:
Mark Linn Baker appears in the upcoming Broadway production of "A Year with Frog and Toad" at the Cort Theatre, and is also a co-owner of the West Bank
Cafe.

Willie Reale wrote the book and lyrics for "A Year with Frog and Toad", and met Ed while shopping at the Fairway.

Martha Plimpton can be seen in the upcoming adaptation of Flesh and Blood by Michael Cunningham, and she took a doggie bag home from Five Points.
