OMG! I went out to dinner in the Bronx

[slinkerwink]

This couple across the hall from us in our apartment invited us to dinner at this Italian restaurant in the Bronx. This restaurant is called Giovanni's, and has the best pizza in town. There were photos of politicians, noticeably Pataki with George W. Bush by his side in the restaurant and photos of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The photos of Pataki and Bush was all over the restaurant. One photo showed Bush stupidly eating a slice of pizza, and another photo showed Bush reaching for a glass of red wine! I gasped when I saw that photo and I wished I had my digital camera on hand to capture that photo of Bush reaching for a glass of red wine.

1. That'll teach you to go to The Bronx

:-)

:hi: Slinkerwink!

Glad you had good pizza, anyway.

[slinkerwink]

4. ha, yeah, I'm a Manhattan girl

The Bronx is just.....too dark and scary for me.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. all that time I was in NYC, and I didn't know you were there

your profile says "MA".

Damn, could have met the majestic slinkerwink!

[slinkerwink]

8. I do live in MA for the college semesters, but the fam is in nyc

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Ah, I get it!

[Chovexani]

7. Oh lord.

Don't tell me you're one of those people that is deathly afraid to go north of 96th St. :spank:

There are some nice areas in the Bronx. Pelham Parkway is lovely.

Brooklyn has been and will always be the coolest borough ever, though. ;)

[slinkerwink]

9. yeah, I think that Brooklyn is the coolest borough

I just don't like going north of 96th, heh. :-P

[Chovexani]

11. Since you recognize the supremacy of Brooklyn

You're forgiven. ;)

[slinkerwink]

15. aww, thanks

[Chovexani]

2. Where abouts?

My very best friends in the world live way up there, near the Zerega Ave. stop on the 6 train.

Their neighborhood has a lot of pugs. There are some truly obnoxious anti-choice bumper stickers on the cars around there.

13. He's got a couple....

Fordham Rd and another on the Concourse.

I went to the one near Yankee Stadium while on jury duty. It is good.

Next time come up to City Island and have some real Italian seafood.

No pictures of * either.

[Chovexani]

19. Oh!

I know where that one on Fordham Rd is, I pass it all the time. I guess it's one of those things that you see so much, you don't pay much attention to it.

I haven't been to City Island in forever. I get my Italian seafood fix in Sheepshead Bay since it's closer to home (I'm in Flatbush).

3. Hey slinkerwink ! Glad to see the pics did not ruin your appetite LOL ! :)

:) :hi:

[slinkerwink]

5. ha, no, they didn't----at least I ate the pizza with more grace

than Bush did in the photos ;-)

[WindRavenX]

10. Bush went to the Bronx?

Holy crap...most of the people I know there want to kick his ass!
Must've had a lot of Secret Service protecting his ass...

[slinkerwink]

14. yes, he did----he was there at Giovanni's, judging from the photos

[Chovexani]

16. Depends on the section.

He wouldn't get out of the South Bronx alive.

Up around Co-Op City though? Not so sure. There are some solidly Repug areas around there. I go up there to see my friends just about every weekend and there are some truly obnoxious anti-choice bumper stickers on the cars around their neighborhood. My best friend's stepfather (lives in that area) is involved with the Conservative Party and they have a lot of support in the Bronx. Not as much as Queens and Staten Island, but enough.

[WindRavenX]

17. that's what I was thinking...

South Bronx?
His ass is GRASS.

[Chovexani]

21. ROFL

I know some folks around there that would gladly be the lawnmower, too.

[slinkerwink]

20. Giovanni's was in the Italian sector of the Bronx if that helps any

[Steven_S]

18. If he was here it was by accident....

Dumb bastard would never come here on his own.

You can tell his fans by their open mouths with drool coming down their chins, knuckles dragging on the pavement. But yeah, most people here would like to kick his ass!

[Quetzal]

22. Hey Hey Hey

I fly up to New York City from Hawaii this Saturday evening. What day is the giant protest?

I'll be staying at my brothers' place. One lives in Queens near Atlantic and Pacific and the other lives on the upper west side by Columbia.

[slinkerwink]

23. the giant protest is on sunday

[Quetzal]

24. Thank

:-)

[henslee]

25. Heard of that place. I think Joe Pesci worked there as a struggling actor.

Never been there. Ever hear of Garjulios in Brooklyn? Similar mystique.

[slinkerwink]

26. yeah, I totally can see Joe Pesci working there---it's that type of place

where there's no fancy Italian food---just good ol' fashioned Italian meals there.

[Zomby Woof]

27. and no drive-thru to get fucked by!

(sorry for that semi-obscure Joe Pesci reference!)

[slinkerwink]

28. ha, it's from Lethal Weapon, right?

[Zomby Woof]

29. #2 in fact!

Good catch!

And to get even with you for posting a pizza thread, I posted a chocolate thread somewhere nearby...

[Swamp Rat]

30. Please, if you can, go back there and get a snapshot of that photo!!!

Do you have a digital camera? Can it take good indoor shots without a flash?

I... we NEED a photo in the raw of a "drinking Bush" so we can caption it daily until November 2nd... I'm salivating for this photoshop material!!! :9

[WinterStorm]

31. I was getting ready to post the same message

If his clothes match up to what he has been wearing recently then that shows that he is back on the sauce.

[Swamp Rat]

32. Well, I don't know if he's changed tailors or his tastes that much,

but that doesn't matter to me. I'll just use photoshop magic!

edit: Don't vote for Bush! He's an alien lizard!

[WinterStorm]

33. You do have photo shop talent

Please go back for that picture.

[Fleshdancer]

34. Holy shit! Red wine???? well that explains just about EVERYTHING

We need that pic! Come on Slinerwink...go back. Do it for the team.

[slinkerwink]

35. I'll try and go back

:-)
