Provini....thorough the fog it came

Like Caspar ,the friendly ghost, this lovely ristorante,cafe,wine bar appeared at 1302 8th

ave in the slope(13st). The mussels and gnocchi and pear arugula salad and the spinach ricotta

crepes and the Koerner blanco vino appeared on a corner that had nothing we could remember 3 months ago. The chef from Florenza could be felt but not seen. Nothing scary about it. Just the right mood for a chilly night and a late night repast.

Fried Turkey...one more reason to live in Brooklyn

Aricka had a vision and now she is a star. Myrtle

Ave near Classon for the best Yams and stuffings and pecan turkey and cajun turkey and all that Jive. Tender and Not greasy.

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.
