Oriental Kitchen to open on South Bayview
by
•Our recent post which noted the demise of Highway 61 was among the most popular in recent times. Sadly for blues fans, time marches on. But that may be good news for those who would be glad to see the return of traditional Chinese food to South Bayview. At present, the only place making Cantonese fare around our area is South China Restaurant on Mt. Pleasant. We want to be fair. The food at South China is good but the ambiance is lacking. Now however it appears that the vacated premises at 1620 Bayview Avenue will house a restaurant to be called Landmark, which bills itself as an Oriental Kitchen and Bar. Welcome. Previous post.

•When you’re in Manhattan go to Italy is Eataly on Fifth Ave.
by
•A great place to visit in Manhattan is Eataly at 200 Fifth Ave at 23rd Street. The name is actually Italy is Eataly. This cavernous but charming old building was recently converted to a showcase of all things Italian, especially food. There are all sorts of little take-away places as well as home grocery fare. Sit down and stand up tables fill the many wide halls of this one time office main floor. As you can see, the imagination of the entrepreneurs is stimulating. Lower left, the bread concession shows the flag Lower right, select cuts of pork and beef. This place also makes fresh mozzarella. It is the successful dream of two food businessmen, Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. Visit the Eataly site for a closer look. And oh yes, this was one of the places that Homefront employees played hooky from their work at the New York International Gift Fair. http://eatalyny.com/
