Feast (08/13-15)

This weekend...it's FEAST-TIME!!!

Time to put on your italian horn necklace...splash on your extra thick cologne...tie on your pasta eating bib and head up to Murray Hill for this weekends "Feast of the Assumption."

The four-day Feast of the Assumption is a wonderful mix of religion and secular fun. The entire length of Mayfield Road, between Euclid Avenue and Cleveland Heights is closed off to traffic. In their place are carnival rides, delicious Italian food vendors (and a random other few,) arts and crafts booths, and live music stages, playing everything from classic rock to "It's Amore."

"Detesto l'uomo che manda giù il suo cibo non sapendo che cosa mangia. Dubito del suo gusto in cose più importanti." ("I hate the man who eats without knowing what he's eating. I doubt his taste in more important things.") -Charles Lamb

Badda bing, badda bang...Gnochhi, Cannoli, Lasagna, Chianti and linguine for all.

"FREE" Pizza! (10/09)

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Who couldn't use a midweek escape? Here's your chance. Thursday from 4:30pm to 2am, Bar Cento is giving away one of its "traditional" pizzas - "free" - with the purchase of a bottle of house wine or a carafe of beer. It's chef Jonathon Sawyer's way of telling customers "thanks" for their restaurant's first year in business.

I have to say, it is my ultimate favorite place to spend the evening with good friends, nestled up at the bar...a traditional pizza, sometimes an order of warm olives and a bottle of their house red, nothing could be more perfect!
