CIS D-Day - February 17, 2023 - “Meat” at the Titanic!

You got one uptown on Arthur Avenue, and another downtown on Mulberry Street. Both are "neighborhoods," hence the "A Bronx Tale" references. You got to be nuts to argue with me about this.

Let's not get into the whole Italian thing. Please.

My old man's side of the family is from the boot, Calabria. When I say I'm going to Little Italy, I am referring to 187th St, usually to make a run at Casa Della Mozzarella, Borgatis, etc.

What you know about LilMoMozzarella, lol

How ya doin!!!!!

My roommate from college was from Brooklyn. I know I ordered a sandwich in Bensonhurst with cap-uh-co-luh and “gabagool” came out of the order taker’s mouth.

Brooklyn's Italian Cuisine is also A+

It’s a salchicha smackdown - Little Italy episode.

St. Marks Pizza was just a place, nothing special. McSorley's is a few blocks away, an an iconic and special place.

dark >> light

All the time I spent in the Village I never went to McSorley's.

The Continental on 3rd was legendary for cheap drinks.

St. Marks used to be the **** until the area got gentrified. Dumpling Man, Sock Man, sheeeeit. I got my first bong down there, lol

Village was a wild place to be as a teen in the 90s. Pot Parade at Washington Square Park, lol.

Loved that ****.

Supposedly Kirkland vodka is Grey Goose.

MOST of the Kirkland private label stuff is something else premium that you would never suspect.

This was in the 80’s. NYC has the best restaurants with the best food in this country if not the planet. Even if you hate NY, you’ve got to give them the food. It’s ridiculous.

I'm also Rican, so you can miss me with the salchicha smackdown, lol. **** is going on up in here. lol

I've got one that might stump @SWFLHurricane.

There was an Italian cold cut from Northern Italy pronounced in my Nonna's broken English as koo-duh-geen.

Do you know what this is and where I can find it?

I agree wholeheartedly

Baaaaaasically a true story. I'm not sure if Garo made all the sales himself, but he got into fashion/clothing while he was a player and did fairly well with it afer retirement. Those were the days when you had to supplement your income as a football player, PLUS Joe Robbie was notorious for paying horrible salaries.

Robbie was tighter than a crab ***.

Adorable that you think that having a great great grandfather who lived 5000 miles away from NYC than you never met thinks that give you some sort of authority to overrule NYC geography, but never change. Everything I posted is 1000% true. You is slinging gabagool wish sandwiches!

 

[passitback]

My Mom was born in Calabria (1920)...she was 1yrs old when my Grandparents came to America. 1st settled in the Lower East Side, then to Brooklyn in 1925.

Lot's of Calabrese up here, more than people think!

Please Stop it....A sign is meaningless...

He’s right though. It does have the sign.

Never went to McSorely's? And you're arguing ANYTHING with ANYONE about NYC?? : )

Continental: 5 SHOTS OF ANYTHING FOR $10!!

Going way back before our time, St. marks was also the site of the legendary Electric Circus.

A Look Back at the Electric Circus, the Greatest Show on St. Marks Place - Bedford + Bowery

Few nightclubs exemplified the excesses of the drug-fueled ‘60s like the Electric Circus. Trapeze artists, mimes and jugglers illuminated by pulsating strobe and black lights…

Sir, in the words of the great @The Franchise, I have yet to utter a mendacity.

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Nah Man....Arthur Ave has been the real Little Italy for decades...The Little Italy in Manhattan has become (and has been) touristy, much like Lombardi's Pizza has become. Don't get me wrong, the Mulberry St/Little Italy has unbelievable Italian fare, and has for yrs...but the majority of Italian families (such as mine) know Arthur Ave as the real Little Italy)

You don't get it. Read my posts again.

We reread that drivel. It doesn't pass The Mario Test

Please Stop it....A sign is meaningless...

Yup, but when people talk about NYC and Little Italy, they're talking about the neighborhood with the sign, not where the people of Italian descent might personally prefer to eat.

ooohhhh that's a good one tho!
