the cracks beneath the door
i finally got to try vincenzo's on saturday - the place was absolutely top notch. great atmosphere - it's not too big, maybe a few dozen tables, but still felt really small and comfortable. the service was decent, a little slow, and they gave my reservation to some other "Hall, party of four", although we still got seated right away.
the food was fantastic - markedly so by the fact that they got renee to eat an alfredo dish, something she's always avoided. i had a a mix of scallops, shrimp, salmon, peppers, mushrooms, tomatos and capers and angel-hair pasta that was perfect - incredibly simple, with a little olive oil and parmigiano. i absolutely cannot wait to go back - there were a dozen or so other things on the menu that i wanted to try.
or, if you're up for some free food, get down to the BW3's at UC tonight - the first 100 people in the door tomorrow at the grand opening get a year's worth of free wings. there were a few dozen people camped out this afternoon. if you want your wings to be cooked, though...
I ran by there last night and there were definitely people setting up tents outside the door. I think I'd have a hard time feeling safe enough to sleep in a tent on Calhoun Ave.
And that's opposed to the shootings happening in West Chester?
Look, I'm not trying to start that crap again. But you know how I feel about blanket statements made from ignorance...
And the Suburbs don't suck. Why they are nice open places with houses, cars, children, and a myriad of other things families can do together. Like trick or treating coming up soon. Why, you don't find that in the city. Except on my street. I mean sure, you have 26 year old neighborhood kids asking for a sucker, and you'd wish they might have shaved the dirtstach and put on a clean shirt, but hey at least they aren't knockin around they bitches. So a small victory for the city one night a year. Yay!
I'm not speaking from ignorance...I live right down the street on Riddle Rd. I really like living in the city as opposed to the suburbs. It's because I live in Clifton that I can say that there's a certain amount of risk involved with pitching a tent on Calhoun Ave.
