Felidia
I never recounted my incredible food weekend. As I mentioned it started at Felidia’s in NYC. It was an all around great experience. Here is a recount of what we had. We shared a couple of dishes and then got our own entrees. We started with Polipo all Griglia and Gamberi al Limone. The polipo (octopus) came in two forms, grilled and then a mosaic on the bottom of the plate that was thinly sliced and in a lemon type sauce. I felt that the grilled octopus was good, not amazing as I have had it in many different ways. However, the mosaic octupus was very flavorful and really a great way to present the octopus. The Gamberi al Limone was a definite win. The combination of the creaminess and the citrus was perfect and made this a flawless dish.
For our second course we tried two of the signature pastas, Ravioli con Cacio e Pere and Krafi. The pear ravioli was very tasty but the explosion of flavors of the Krafi were unmatched. These two were extremely successful in my opinion but if I had to do it again I would get the Krafi.
For our main courses we got the following: (Merluzzo, Pappa al Pomodoro, Baccala Mantecato), Zuppa di Pesce con Fregola and Carre di Agnello, Collo “Ossobucco”. The were excellent dishes with my favorite being the Merluzzo, Pappa al Pomodoro, Baccala Mantecato. It was a perfect combination of flavors. Look out for North Fork Table & Inn coming up soon.

Billboards that look back
I can’t wait to see billboards start targeting messages based on the person that is looking at it. Isn’t that the holy grail? I would have to say that in the end I may be dissappointed because I like to see what all the messages are since I am in marketing, but I don’t think that [...]

Great Food Weekend
I am a little excited about next weekend. I am going to two restaurants, one which I have never been too and another which I have to say is my favorite restaurant on Long Island. On Friday I am going to Felidia, which is Lidia Bastianich’s restaurant. I have never been but I have always heard [...]
Amazing Recovery - BMW X5
When I was looking for a new SUV I was deciding between the VW Touareg and the BMW X5. I ended up with the Touareg, but in my research I cam across this video of the BMW X5 in a Rally and almost flipping over.

Facebook, Colleges and Alumni
There are times you see things that make you go hmmm and this was definitely one of them for me. I was reading an article in the NY Times about College Alumni Magazines and their competition with Facebook. Essentially, it comes down to the fact that colleges are losing their alumni magazine eyeballs to Facebook because [...]
Airlines - You can be different!
Fascinating how airlines outside the US realize that people still want to be treated with a certain level of respect, for lack of a better word. Flying shouldn’t be just a way to get from point A to point B. Obviously, certain legs of flights you don’t need extra pampering, but here is a novel idea, [...]
Gas prices…Where will they go?
It’s funny, but I was thinking about gas prices today and what a joke they are for us. We have it easy considering in Europe some countries max out at $12 per gallon, but regardless it is becoming a joke. I keep wanting to think it is a conspiracy by OPEC to devastate the US [...]
Redoing my deck
A couple of months ago I decided it was time to fix my deck. Not that there was anything wrong with the actual deck itself, it was structurally sound and I could have kept it the way it was. I just felt that it could also be updated immensely. I decided that it would be [...]
