Thanks All.

Just returned from Keste and it was a big hit. 6 of us split 5 and it was plenty. We had
2 Margherita, del Re, Salsicca, Vegatariana

We all thought it was great. Crust around the middle was firmer than anticipated.

Wow - looks like I picked the wrong week to give up beverage inspired desserts...

Another great addition to the neighborhood. Can't wait to check it out.

Did Cesare bring his famous Tuscan Fries to the menu? They were the best at both Beppe and Maremma...

Great news Ed. When you throw that stone it probably hits my apartment. I love the short ribs at Ouest so can't wait to try this version.

As an UWS resident, I hope I won't have to wait too long for my fix. I have a feeling with the proximity to AMNH and Central Park, it will get its fair share of crowds on location alone.

Maybe all those brunchers across the street at Isabellas will munch on a Shack burger while they wait in line..

Ed - Great post. He was a gem. We UWSers are lucky enough to have Fairway as our neighborhood store, and were even luckier to have someone so special as its maestro. I can still hear his voice..."next on 4 young man!!"

I'm a WW believer. I'm down 33 lbs. You really can't appreciate what moderation truly means until you keep track of everything that goes into your mouth. And the meetings are a great motivator.

Come join us - 7:00 tuesdays right in the ansonia! You have to use the 73rd st. entrance so you won't be tempted by Patisserie Margot on your walk!

we had an abatinos briefly on the UWS. it's already mysteriously changed name to pizza paradise or something lame like that. I guess lame slice, lame name.

Ed - not trying to be a shill here, but I've lost 27 lbs. so far (since late october) on Weight Watchers - it works. With a little planning, you could have had the pizza and part of a calzone with no guilt.

Come join us - 7:00 tuesday nights right at the Ansonia - it's right in the neighborhood!

Some recent memorable pies from my travels:

1) blueberry pie at abel's lobster pound - mount desert island, me

firm yet flaky crust offset by the oozing wild blueberries. better than the lobster

2) rock springs cafe - rock springs, az

a must eat on the road from phoenix to sedona. a tremendous assortment. i went all american with apple since it's my fave, and it tasted like it was baked expecialy for me that morning.
