7 years and 1 day
Yesterday marked one of those landmarks that not as many married couples see as would perhaps be ideal. I believe my mother in law joked some months back about the fabled "7 year itch." This is the woman who merits the mushroom treatment: feed her shit and keep her in the dark. Truly, better this way. If you met her, you'd agree. Anyway, I laughed and told her it was really not an issue.
The celebratory plan was to go to the North End for dinner. I wanted to go someplace good and small and off the beaten track. Well, got 2 of 3, as Al Dente was not remarkable ( but it was OK )
Note to self: don't get suckered into the maitre'd offering to show you the specials menu at the door while you're reading the regular menu. Ah well! The point was I was with
quiet_elegance, there was food and it was hot. The Berenger Cabernet defnitely the high point of my meal :) We walked around to Cafe della Sport on Hanover St that's within spitting distance of Mike's, which is where I've bought my cannoli the past few times I was on a pastery quest. They fill the shells to order, not just sitting about getting gross. This establishment is exactly the sort of place I saw on every corner in Livorno. It was a very pleasant evening and now there's a mandate to find a better restaurant (Edit: in the North End) than Al Dente for our next night out. If anyone has suggestions, feel free to chime in. Like I said: small, good, but not touristy and not requiring a mortgage in order to pay.
