Lombardi's vs. Arturo's
Arturo's for sure but why not both?
The clams oreganata at Arturo's looked sick.
Live music is a definite plus.
For dessert dont miss the rice pudding place.
Managia and forza pizza.

Please help me choose, I like most foods except for meat and poultry.
Food is more important than decor but a nice looking place wouldn't hurt.

My wife finally gets a wedding ring...
staten island ferry and a couple of dirty water hot dogs
cant go wrong
throw in a stale pretzel and you are home free
Good food and old people dancing
as steely dan would sing: those days are gone forever, over a long time ago.
Those very truly the days my friends.
now i get incensed when the great unwashed wont remove their baseball hats at the dinner table.
every great civilization declines and falls.
hence no need to be on a diet or to have money in the bank
eating well is the best revenge
as the immortal warren zevon said when asked re his terminal condition
he replied; boy that sandwich was good
but don't get me started
my biggest claim in life is that my mother's cousin trigger alpert was genn miller's bass player and arranger

Best pizza pie in Northern NJ(Bergen)
i beg to differe re A Mano
took the family there last night and had a wonderful, we paid full price because a portion of the proceeds was going to chatrity
the kids loved the fried calamari and the fresca salad.
the lasagna was devoured
we had three pies one plain and two topped with artichoke
less is more
all were perfectly made witha nice char
the reason that the cheese doesnt melt because it is fresh mutz if feeling ricj go for the bufalo mutz.
all the pizza makers are swell and competent.
The Mexican makers throughout the sate sure do fine pies.
well prcied well worth it and byob with good gelato
one of my favs
i have eaten pizza in about 300 places in nj and this is a top ten place

Greek in Astoria
went to kyclades for the first time last nite, plenty confused to due the on and off rain but well worth the rain.
the peasant salad is lovely and the large is enough for three-to-four people
the dorado while 26 bucks was enough for me and my wife and had the very nice picked beets.
the wife had the lemon potatoes which are not my thing but she well liked.
big surprise was the free dessert which is a custard wrapped in phyllo, a lovely touch.
the etsina wine for 10 bucks for 500 ml tasted like paint thinner in my wife's words but i liked it with plenty of ice cubes.
however i promptly went to sleep when i got home.
the service was attentive and knowledgeable.
net, net, not to be missed and especially at 60 bucks for two and we were stuffed, in agood way.
Las Vegas: Five Nights
latelier is spot on
add guy savoy at the bar for affordable tastings and the wine list is also affordable

Joel Robuchon Report
mr rubuchon is at the very peak of chef pyramid
he is a wonderful man and extremely modest, his general manager mr cornet is also a super friendly and accomodating person
atelier is a pagan temple to foodum
some of the happiest moments have been spent in their company.
i am and remain in their debt on many different and amazing levels.
happy eating to all
Citifield best choices?
trust me what the Mets do ain't baseball.
Shake Shake while wonderful is simply not worth the wait and their fries are just like the Mets awful.
I am a life long Mets fan and am allowed this negativity.
Blue Smoke is far better, good ribs and wings.
The mexican place opposite them is wonderful
Three tacos at ten bucks or so
Boxe frites has wonderful fries and slip the server a buck or two and get a large seltzer rather than the overpriced sodas.
In the food market there is the wonderful Italian sub and salad place also Italian meat and chees at 15 bucks
also a fried korean chicken
The pizza is good but not at six bucks
Get there early sit at the picnic tables and bring pillows and reading material and a blind fold for your child, the poor kid would be scarred for life watching them.
If you don't lay aside plenty of dead presidents for the necessary shrink bills.
In fact the Wilpons should have shrinks at all games for solace for us fanatics
