Star Truck and out of my Vulcan mind

Pawtucket Hope Artisan farmers market in Rhode Island has oysters,veggies,fresh ice cream and baked goods,music and crafts. But first you must get past THE TRUCkIES...lined up to get a tubular

turkey or duck or a tin of mac and cheeeeese. The pictures will explain.

Like Caroline( and Lane with his Amarone) and Rose who was eating alone but got our ovation and wine. Caroline ran her 10Th but the Eiffel ran his/her first. Charlene served up fine chicken and Borscht and halibut(86st bet york and 1st). But it was the conviviality and the joy at Caroline's achievement that made all shine.

SpVino Osteria

At 289 Fifth ave park slope...a wine bar and garden and small plates and a great pedigree{Pete's in Dumbo) are open tonight for a "welcome to us" party...so there were no bills or credit cards but there was value and promise. Welcome to you,spVino, and to you ,Chef John. May Bacchus bless you.

Miriam 79 5av park slope...gay essen(go eat)

There are half price bottles of wine on several days but great Middle Eastern food is the reason to go any day. Carrot Ginger soup for to Fall and mixed shell fish and babbaganoush and fresh pita

and poached priceless pear!

SW.SW. southwest? so wonderful! PIQUANT. flatbush&6av

Navajo fried bread and tres salsas(see chipoltle ,the salsa,not the chain). Chopped salad . Tuna and asparagus . And tortilla crema. This will get 2 stars at least from the NYT because of the informed and engaging staff, the decor and the SW cuisine where every morsel is an upgrade on the last example you tasted. Two photos of the polenta fries to hold you til you get to taste them.

Fonda is a winnah

On 7 av in Park Slope{14 and 15 st) with an outdoor garden,fine margaritas and authentic Mexican food. Service is smart and efficient and the plentiful mini tortillas keep coming. Pescado and pollo with mole and citrus and .........and that one and that one and some of those as we'd say in Mr Burgess' candy story(where he convinced me he had a white horse with wings). This restaurant does have wings.

Ms Albany Diner best ,bester ,bestest

Best breakfast...get it now or buy the diner soon...893 broadway in albany (madeggs@nycap.rr.com)...Jane has owned it with her husband for 20 years but it goes way back...jeanne had pecan pancakes...I had an egg white garden omelet with horseradish sauce(sorry i ordered the fresh baked soft prezels from the beer garden next store or ate so many peanuts...but glad we walked seven miles along the Hudson on the Corning Preserve trail). How did we manage to dine at the Rhinecliff Inn for sunset over the Hudson just a few hours later? Must have been the celtic sounds of the FRIENDS OF FATHER CHARLIE COEN.
