Well what do these things have in common? Eddie lived in brooklyn(2nd street...so does Frank,but I digress) and Anella is in brooklyn(222 Franklin st...my father's store was at 222 wilson ave,formerly Hamberg ave but there i go again). Anella takes only cash...not sure eddie had reason to accept credit cards. In Kindergarten I asked Ed if he would be my best friend and he said roger was so i could be his second best..i said"you will still be my best friend." I am proud of that even now. Back to food blog business,i noticed that Anella was described as doing amazing things with vegetables...in a wholesome way...and so Jeanne is going to like this , i thought. We ordered the romaine salad( i was sure this was not from the bad e colli Arizona batch...what is wrong in Arizona?)....and watermelon mint salad with feta. And my fussetarian asked for meatless version of the pasta which the very charming professional waiter said was pappadelle with marinara and crushed olives(perfect). When the pasta arrived it had the dreaded peas and a white sauce and spinach. "Not right" we said. "There is a little bit of marinara and some olives in there", he reassured us." The replacement was perfect as was the bread in a flower pot as was were the salads and the wine and the decor and the hosts...we had a pleasant bye but not as good as the hi and jeanne was sure that the waiter liked the other couple better.
Well Anella is still my bestest new charming restaurant...in Greenpoint....near Huron.
