take two at Otto was delish, i let go of my negativity and dove in full on, all the veggie and fish starters were fantastic, the fried fish (fry of the day) was a dream, we asked for the pizza's crispy and they said "we do them one way, Mario's way" maybe its not the first time they have heard this from customers, but they came out crisper and we liked them better (they were still cold before the 2nd bite), whom whudda thought of a sunny side up egg on pizza would be good, it was.....and for dessert its just gelato but the specials were amazing, olive oil and salt gelato with blood orange slice's:>) and ricotta gelato with stewed figs and candied walnuts!!! YUM
I saw The Pianist two nights ago and I'd be interested if anybody could explain to me why this is supposed to be a good movie.
Bao had some very tasty dishes and some just ok also, but over all it was yummy, great french wine on the list, but its too much a load scene for an old fart like me.....

Asking around for some new restaurants I came up with these two.....
Merge in the back of the old Indigo space (Indigo was great!!, as a matter of fact Indigo and Luma get on the all time fav list), and
Bao @ 111 Ave C, its Vietnamese and two reports are very high, it nearly kills me tat there is no "Grand Cru" Viet food in NYC....

Scary interview with Sy Hersh on Now with Bill Moyers. Pakistan sharing nuke tech with North Korea, others?
This story is begging for some Dem spin.
lunch at 66 was out of site, braised beef chow fun was absolutly amazing, massive dumpling list inc fantastic fried shrimp wonton's, sesame noodles were incredable.....food prices are not too expensive (9 shared dishes was slighty exsesive @ $65 each, so if you had a normale meal it could be like $50), but massive wine consumption can run the bill up, the 2001 Dr Thanish Spatlese at $87 is the wine for the spicy food and its one of the worlds great wines but due to it being lighter in alcohol one bottle per person is easy....

One of my nephews joined the army reserve out of high school about a year and a half ago, for the free college education. He's been called to Kuwait, stopping briefly in Virginia for last minute training. I guess the show is on.
Otto take one is NG on the pizza: doughy, poshed to unpurrfection (lardo one is nice), cold before you bite the 2nd slice......some of the app's rock, but overall our table will not return often...will try one more time soon
Mike emailed this fun link to me.
another fantastic GSIMidtown meal.....followed by late nite snacks at Town (not my scene but, the best frogs legs I have ever eaten in NYC, other app's were also very good, place was pretty full-up too)
I'm not sure if this means anything, but coincidence is always intriguing, and I almost posted this, and now since Frank's given me another opening… Anyway, I'll do it here, to avoid trolling for trolls…
So my mother (who, unlike me, actually reads contemporary poetry) sent me (hardcopy, via USPS) a poem she thought I'd like, about birds and love and such. It was by Anthony Hecht. I couldn't really place him, though the name was vaguely familiar, but immediately thereafter I was following a search from my referrer log which led to a page of "literary symbiosis": parodies, symbionts, retellings, etc. There I found a poem I'd long recalled, though I'd read it many years ago and had forgotten the poet. Of course, it was by Hecht. The poem is The Dover Bitch, which gives a third party version of Matthew Arnold's Dover Beach, with an appreciation of the girl's point of view. This had nothing to do with the search, which was for Sumer is Icumen in, but in view of the current weather you should check out Ezra Pound's wicked winterizing of that old lyric, appearing on the same page. If you know what this all adds up to, you can tell me.
