Originally from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Cody Jamison Strand stars as Elder Cunningham in the Broadway hit The Book of Mormon, a gig he has had for more than ten years. Cody has also been on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Dickinson. I caught up with him recently about his New York loves.
Where do you live in New York?
I actually live in New Jersey! Union City. Just across the river. I love it. Easy to get to, quiet, chill, lots of families and dog parks. It is really nice to be able to leave the city I am not going to lie.
What is your favorite neighborhood in NYC and why?
My favorite is probably Soho for the shopping. Lots of boutiques, including my personal favorite 3NY that has some truly remarkable pieces that I really have not seen anywhere else.
Can you share some of your favorite spots in a Theater District and what makes them so great?
I will be honest, because I work there, I don't tend to spend a lot of time in the area, aside from the weekends when I have two shows. However, I am a huge fan of the coffee shop Ground Central and will usually stop there in between shows and get a coffee and if they have the olive oil chocolate chip cookies, I will absolutely treat myself.
The best place for a pre-or post-theater meal and why. What are the dishes to order?
Bad Roman. It is pricey but the food is so worth it. Get a reservation, bring friends, order everything.
