Here’s to the lady who lunched: Elaine Stritch, we love you. May your heaven be a booze-soaked, no-pants solo show at the Carlyle. Thank you

I was lucky enough to see Elaine Stritch’s one woman show and meet her. One of a kind and just the wittiest. So sad to hear of her passing.

Elaine Stritch turning to the camera and deadpanning “Shootin’ up at the Savoy…” is maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
