I can't which song it was, but one has a riff that you would swear was the Stones.
Or, conversely, there's a Stones' song that has a riff that you would swear was the Kinks.

I saw a Free Luigi banner hanging from an overpass above the 101 freeway.
What, nothing for the Menendez brothers?

"And I’m going to need some really cold ice… this may be asking too much."
A really great line, as one of the keys to a great martini is making sure it, and the glass, are properly cold.

I'm always proud of Significant Eater, but this was especially nice to receive last week:
And now it will be her 4th change of administration. These are the people who actually do the work of keeping the stuff working.

My general experience with uncommon varietals is finding there’s a reason they’re not more common.
Perfect!

$18 for a dozen outstanding local oysters.
My favorite oysters in this country, without a doubt. In certainly one of my favorite eating cities in this country.

Rack of lamb, roasted potatoes, and roasted broccolini.
As much as I love (and use) my countertop steam oven, there is nothing like roasting in a real, full-sized oven.

Now that El Bulli is an Airbnb it can be a cross assignment with the travel section
https://news.airbnb.com/es/ferran-adria-revela-su-ultima-creacion-pasar-una-noche-en-elbulli1846/
Not only with the travel section, maybe add sports as well...because if you survive Roses, you can head to Rome. It just won't be as easy there...

It’s not exactly a late night town, except for maybe some of the bars.

Not as much as the rest of my family did - too sweet for me. My NOLA gold standard biscuit (based on my limited experience) is Willa Jean.
And if you’re ever in Provincetown during the season, Kelly will most likely be cooking at Butch’s.

Any ideas about daytime things to do are welcome. It is going to be…cool. Portland Museum of Art obviously. An old pile called Victoria Mansion looks cute. I need to see the Old Port area. What is West End like?
I found some good walking tours online that are available starting April.
Lighthouses.

Cervo's
in New York
Posted
Friday night, went to Cervo's Feast of the Seven Fishes (there were more), held at Platform by James Beard Foundation, which is at Pier 57 (which is ginormous).
One picture, too busy schmoozing.
The fried shrimp heads with the peel and eat shrimp in the background. Everything was very nicely done - good choices on the wines. My favorites were the skate fritters, the stuffed crab, shrimp heads and bodies, and the bacalao with clams. Nice choices on the wines.
Of course, they've opened the place on Broome St.: Eel Bar, and I find more to my liking at this point. Because I find it more comfortable, and the food leans slightly more Basque-ish.
