My neighborhood Italian restaurant played only Pavarotti tonight.

Here. (The tagliatelle with bolognese sauce was yummy. And the waiter was terribly handsome.)

Trooper York বলেছেন...: Yes the owner's come from my grandmother's native island of Ischia....where the specialty is rabbit...I remember every Easter we had some new bunnies to play with...and then they went to a farm upstate to play and frolic....hey wait a minute.; ৬/৯/০৭, ৭:১৫ PM
Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: Ah, yes, there was rabbit on the menu.; ৬/৯/০৭, ৭:৪০ PM
নামহীন বলেছেন...: Supposed to be great, but I haven't been.

You should try Henry's End as well if you're checking out that neighborhood. There are actually decent restaurants on Henry Street.; ৬/৯/০৭, ৭:৫৯ PM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: Yeah dtl, Henry's End is great and known for it's exotic game dishes...bison...alligator..ostrich
(which is the only one I tasted and strangely enough, does NOT taste like chicken).; ৬/৯/০৭, ৮:০৩ PM
MadisonMan বলেছেন...: Noodle Pudding. Hmm. I made chocolate pudding tonight. Yum. (NOT from a box); ৬/৯/০৭, ৮:১৫ PM
নামহীন বলেছেন...: And I was out drinking on Henry Street tonight.

So Ann was so close, yet so far, to the elusive DTL.

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: Why, anyone could see me on the street and purport to be downtownlad!

But Henry is a long street. I'll bet you were many blocks away.

Me, I was alone with my book, just trying to get some sustenance after my late afternoon class.; ৬/৯/০৭, ৮:২২ PM
নামহীন বলেছেন...: A-ha, but if they stop you in the street, it couldn't be me.

If you were to meet me, you would see how utterly normal and likable I am, I'd probably have to start being polite on this blog. And that would be no fun. No fun at all.

I might work in the area, but I rarely go out there. Drinks with work colleagues though, so it was an exception.; ৬/৯/০৭, ৮:৩১ PM
KLDAVIS বলেছেন...: So, have you been to Grimaldi's since you've been back (I assume you'd been before you left). If so, is it still as good?

Maxine Weiss বলেছেন...: My goodness, where are the pictures proving that you were actually there?; ৬/৯/০৭, ১১:১৭ PM
ron st.amant বলেছেন...: I have a wonderful Christmas CD featuring Pavarotti...I will find it terribly hard to listen to Ave Maria without getting a bit more choked up than I usually do this year when listening to such a magnificent voice. Rest In Peace, Signor Pavarotti.; ৬/৯/০৭, ১১:৪২ PM

blake বলেছেন...: Maxine,

I thought we've established that she's not actually there. The green screen she used for her vlog was almost perfect. Almost.

However, I think I see the climactic conclusion of this saga: Althouse is actually a highly sophisticated computer construct, a la S1mone. I'm not sure who designed her or what their motives are, but I'm sure all will be revealed over time.; ৭/৯/০৭, ২:২২ AM
tony বলেছেন...: noodle pudding, yes. yum. but my questions is:
have you been to blue pig for homemade ice cream yet!? (have the pumpkin pie ice cream, which actually tastes like sweet potatoe pie).

rhhardin বলেছেন...: If you eat baby bunnies, soon there are no more bunny droppings on the lawn to seek out and eat, if you're a dog. A lesson I taught my Doberman just yesterday, rescuing and holding out a baby bunny she'd treed ; should have gone for the camera.

Bunny then disappeared into the bushes.; ৭/৯/০৭, ১:১৬ PM
Trooper York বলেছেন...: Yes but if you stew slowly over a low flame in white wine, garlic,
with a hint of lemon and serve it over risotto...I think that your Doberman might just take that risk; ৭/৯/০৭, ১:২৪ PM
