May the lobster force be with you ,Luke's

As you roll out your seafood lightsabers at 26 S.Williams street in Manhattan's Finance district. The Schooner combo features lobster crab and shrimp...there are claws and sea salt/pepper chips and chowders. This is a fish hut looking charmer with young staff who have the look of camp counselors or waiters at a Maine waterside shanty. Gobs of lobster...chili sauce to spike it...a a breeze that flows up from the battery . Maine Root sodas including sarsaparilla and blueberry and lemon-lime.

BLT in Wash DC bet 16 st and 17stNW (1625 i street NW)

An hour to eat befor a fast Amtrak turnaround. This worked. Incliding the popover and the liver spread and

the mix of fresh shell fish and the crabcake and the  BIG baked potato .

ORGANIKA CAFE...maybe i am just morphing or shapeshifting into Gordon Ramsey

Maybe the air conditioner at 69 7th ave South just broke yesterday and maybe the ravioli wasn't frozen and maybe all Italian organic wines are crayola yellow...and maybe the plate for the whole grain pasta (good!)
wasn't the size of a bar mitzvah frisbee/vase centerpiece....and maybe I should have warned the new arrival with the Colgate sweat shirt out of school loyalty...and maybe I shouldn't have scooted Jim away from this place and taken him to Perilla when Jeanne spotted the Albanian checking out the menu. As Hank Snow said, "Maybe I'm right,Maybe I'm wrong Could this be something good? Maybe I'm weak...Maybe...

FORK and VINE...Glen Rock LIRR Station

Some,including me,like it hot

Sitin at the rail road station...waitin for my destination...THEN BINGO. An excellent bar with wasabi hot soy nuts and crunchy fresh chips---Billy Holiday is singing and as i grab some nuts, I see the screen at the end of the bar showing (a sign from the food gods): "Some Like It Hot"...I  like it hot and I also like the red pepper flecked cockles in broth with celery and garlic and chorizo. And carafe of sancere and two chicken sliders with slaw.  This was a great way to kill an hour after the dentist and before racing to Greenwood Cemetery for a trolley to the outdoor ,amidst -the -graves musical theatre spooky victorianesque SPOON RIVER PROJECT.

Takahachi Japanese Bakery now on Murray

Still on Av A and another on Duane st. These pastries and breads look and taste pretty.

Diane's Cafe in Roslyn LI was disappointed in Father's Day ...we were not

There were too many cancellations on Sunday for Diane to be happy but the salmon for Caroline and the buccatini for jeanne and the spagetti bolognese for Brother Lane and the ricotta gnocchi for me with sausage and the Vermentino
made our LIE fathers day respite nice...curly haired retrievers squashing us and all.
