IL COLLOSEO !8 av and 77st Bensonhurst bklyn




Dress up Christening Party on the back room




An urban hike began on Sunday afternoon in the slope on 5st and 5 av and headed through Hasidic Boro Park where grandma had her paint store and Moms diary suggested she went to movies 3 or 4 nights a week...then through a Bklyn Chinatown with signs for pulled noodles and dumplings....but miles later we were ushered in to Il Colloseo. I had wanted to go when we visited the Xmas lights in Dyker Hts but this was the first chance. As in my childhood at Salernos or Mama Leones this was special. A montage of family tables each a kind of diorama filled with vibrant conversation,and raw Brooklyn laughter or animated controversy punctuated by musical back of the hand jabs. The salads and broccoli rabe and the huge shrimps that i only touched with my eyes were key players but the setting was star...and the luscious buffalo margarita. And there was Vincent eating his pizza with a knife and fork asking the waiter why they were picking on the Mayor. The waiter agreed.
