Risultato: 100000 presenze per 1200 bands in un centinaio di locali.  Tra gli altri ho visto i nostri cari amatissimi A Classic Education ( che hanno suonato 5 giorni si 5!), la deliziosa Via Tania della quale vi parlero' presto,  e Mi-Gu, cantante/batterista giapponese molto noise. Durante quest'ultimo concerto ad un certo punto accanto a me noto un ragazzo, mi pare un viso familiare, poi la signorina Mi-Gu chiama un amico sul palco, era il ragazzo accanto me, era Sean Lennon.

Tranne uno.Venerdi' 30 infatti al  Guggenheim Museum, location inusuale e quindi ancor piu' intrigante, si esibiranno gli Yeasayer, band di Brooklyn da cui sono stata folgorata al Pitchfork Festival lo scorso luglio. I ragazzi dal vivo sono davvero bravi, un mix di indie e india direi.  Un album pubblicato e uno in arrivo per Secretely Canadian/Mute. Purtroppo il biglietto costa 45 dollaroni, dico 45,  quindi saltero' a pie' pari. Mi sento quasi offesa.Si tratta di un'eccezione, ma girano lo stesso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  line-height: normal; white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/okxAi06PTAU&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/okxAi06PTAU&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1082130967257670275-6477873567951678903?l=everybodylovesanitaliangirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1082130967257670275/posts/default/6477873567951678903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1082130967257670275/posts/default/6477873567951678903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everybodylovesanitaliangirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/londata-cmj-music-marathon-and-film.html' title='It Never Stops'/><author><name>Italian Girl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10847697100824724381</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0r0RKEQuIVE/SkEslxEv8oI/AAAAAAAAAAo/Nc0sxSIaJCA/S220/IMG_1610.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082130967257670275.post-6726680052572334948</id><published>2009-10-14T19:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T09:48:14.685-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Bad government syndrome</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;(The pain of being an Italian abroad during the Berlusconi years)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody asks me “ What’s up with that Berlusconi?” or “ How is it possible that he’s still in charge of the Italian governement?” or “ Is it true that he slept with a teenager?”.&lt;br /&gt;And at every question I feel lost, annoyed, frustrated. &lt;div&gt;Makes me think that I am living the BGS, Bad Government Syndrome, like when Bush was the American president, like when he was reelected.

Retorico ma vero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Patrick Swayze mi ricordera' sempre di quella sensazione, di quel pizzico nel cuore tipico delle cotte giovanili. E quando lo guardo quella sensazione torna, inesorabile a ricordarmi che ho avuto 16 anni e che i sogni osavano spingersi lontano. Ieri, come molte altre volte guardando Dirty Dancing ho ritrovato quel pizzichino al cuore che menomale, menomale riesco ancora a ricordare. E non sara' un capolavoro della storia del cinema ma come dice qualcuno &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=149803280488&amp;amp;ref=nf"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; e' un fotuttissimo classico immortale. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vabbe', oh, io ieri sera su questa scena c'avevo i lucciconi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;E quindi, grazie Patrick, sono stati sogni splendidi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y97bWP33d8I&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y97bWP33d8I&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" white-space: pre;font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While my long vacation to Italy is coming to an end I read that Patrick Swayze died yesterday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Italian TV played Dirty Dancing. Like many ohter Italian Girls, like many other girls around the world, I had a huge crash on Patrick. I dreamt about him many night in my teenage years and this bad news makes me sad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's like these movies, these carachters become part of us, part of our memories, so simple but so true. Patrick Swayze will always remind me of that sensation, that teenage crush 's sparkle, it will remind me when i was 16 and how brave and impossible were those dreams.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While watching Dirty Dancing yesterday i felt that sparke again. I know it's not a marterpiece but like a friend said " Dirty Dancing is a f****ng immortal classic".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So thank you Patrick, it was a good time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1082130967257670275-4229654863995959578?l=everybodylovesanitaliangirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1082130967257670275/posts/default/4229654863995959578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1082130967257670275/posts/default/4229654863995959578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everybodylovesanitaliangirl.blogspot.com/2009/09/mentre-sono-alla-fine-della-mia-lunga.html' title='No one puts baby in the corner, ciao Patrick'/><author><name>Italian Girl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10847697100824724381</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0r0RKEQuIVE/SkEslxEv8oI/AAAAAAAAAAo/Nc0sxSIaJCA/S220/IMG_1610.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082130967257670275.post-3742844808528822925</id><published>2009-08-01T14:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T19:56:46.309-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tuscan Obsession</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Non parlo della ville in campagna che i miliardari si comprano in Val D'Orcia.&lt;div&gt;Parlo dell'ossessione che le multinazionali del junk food hanno per la parola Tuscan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tutto e' Tuscan. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Perche' Tuscan fa figo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Qualche sporadico esempio:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Si comincia con il Tuscan Chicken Sandwich di Subway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 183px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0r0RKEQuIVE/SnS_vdsaxPI/AAAAAAAAAH4/R2znYoWLJHw/s320/tuscanChickenMelt95502.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365123878250792178" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un insieme di verdure varie con il petto di pollo e un po' di pesto ( tanto per insistere)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Proseguiamo con la Pizza, una leggerissima 6 formaggi ( quali non si sa) e la versione "Roma meats Tuscan", con della gran salsiccia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 251px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0r0RKEQuIVE/SnS_g0rUehI/AAAAAAAAAHw/OlTp3qCfngI/s320/tuscanpizza.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365123626722163218" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;L'ultima invenzione e' la Tuscan Lemonade.

Heavy, heavy medicines. So, who is the commercial for? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The patient can not decide to take that medicine unless the doctor prescribe it, but i want to believe that the doctor will not decide the type of medicine the pation needs based on a  commercial. Right?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A good doctor should prescribe the medicine that he thinks is appropiate for the patient. Period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, please help me because i don't get it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It seems that these commercials support a DIY (or a CIT: Cure it yourself) method ( health care costs here are incredibly high) , but how could it work with prescription medicines???&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maybe i am too naive, am i?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the meantime enjoy the Viagra commercial:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/umhEoIdKYm8&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/umhEoIdKYm8&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Non riesco a capire la sovrabbondanza di pubblicita' di medicine non da banco ( solo prescrivibili da ricetta del medico) nelle televisioni USA.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No, dico, ogni tre minuti, sempre, in qualsiasi canale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pubblicita' di potenti antidepressivi, medicine per l'Alzheimer, tutti farmaci che necessitano di una prescrizione, di una ricetta del medico. Farmaci forti, fortissimi. Allora, a chi sono rivolti questi spot?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il paziente non puo' certo decidere di assumere questi farmaci autonomamente, la ricetta del medico e' fondamentale. E voglio credere che non sia uno spot pubblicitario in TV a far decidere al medico la medicina adatta per il paziente. Un bravo dottore non dovrebbe farlo. Giusto?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quindi qualcuno mi aiuti perche' non capisco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sembra che questi spot evidenzino il metodo del Fai da Te, o meglio Curati da te, che con i costi della sanita' americana e' comprensibile, anche se non giustificabile, ma come questo metodo puo' funzionare con questo tipo di farmaci?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Forse sono troppo naive, vero?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nel frattempo, vi e' piaciuto lo spot del Viagra?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1082130967257670275-3533496626489893735?l=everybodylovesanitaliangirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1082130967257670275/posts/default/3533496626489893735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1082130967257670275/posts/default/3533496626489893735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everybodylovesanitaliangirl.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-dont-get-it-prescription-medicine.html' title='I don&apos;t get it: Prescription medicine commercials ( Viva Viagra)'/><author><name>Italian Girl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10847697100824724381</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0r0RKEQuIVE/SkEslxEv8oI/AAAAAAAAAAo/Nc0sxSIaJCA/S220/IMG_1610.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082130967257670275.post-2340271828961817807</id><published>2009-07-15T09:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T10:16:22.391-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm not a millionaire.

Queste persone colpiscono per scarsa sensibilita' , scarsa coerenza ma soprattutto per scarsa analisi della realta'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Qui a New York invece accade che nei locali si suona la musica di MJ, nei negozi, per strada.

C'e' una sorta di innocenza e spontaneita' in tutto questo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Personalmente ho diversi ricordi legati a Michael Jackson e sono certa tutti i miei coetanei ne hanno almeno uno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gita di terza media, sul pullman, il mio primo walkman, la cassetta di Bad ascoltata a ripetizione tentando di non addormentarmi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Piu' tardi nella mia vita ho scoperto i Jackson Five e li ho sempre trasmessi alla radio, ogni volta che ne avevo occasione.

Non prendiamoci in giro, alla maggior parte degli italiani non gliene frega nulla se chi ci governa e' una massa di maiali, mafiosi, patetici anzianotti pieni di soldi, anzi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Da tempo, da quando Berlusconi vince e rivince, penso che l'Italia ha cio' che si merita. Si lo so, tutti noi forse non lo meritiamo, ci battiamo in ogni modo per contrastare la cultura del "facciamo un po' come cazzo ci pare" berlusconiana, applausi per noi, ma quando osservo attentamente vedo chiaramente che quella cultura spopola ovunque.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Op5sQtJSfbI&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Op5sQtJSfbI&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quando si vive in un altro paese si aprono visioni e prospettive della propria nazione totalmente inaspettate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh quanto e' bella l'Italia. E' da togliere il fiato. La sua geologia, le sue citta', le sue campagne, gli italiani e le italiane sono belli, la frutta, la verdura sa della terra calda e ricca che la coltiva, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;il mare, l'odore del mare, oddio....sto diventando come gli italoamericani, mi manca solo da appendere il bandierone fuori casa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;E poi penso agli Stati Uniti. Si sono ( ci siamo) puppati quel mentecatto di Bush per 8 anni, poi, arrivati al fondo, crisi economica, pazzi fondamentalisti nuovi cristiani, guerre ovunque, gli americani hanno deciso di cambiare pagina, anzi cambiare il libro direttamente. Bravi, cazzo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;E' che loro ce l'avevano un bel libro da scegliere...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Leggo di italiani che vogliono espatriare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Io, Lucia, Valeria, siamo espatriate ma soffriamo lo stesso.

Ristoranti sempre, ovunque, qualunque, quantunque.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ma io sono qui per aiutarvi, e vi aiutero'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Una piccola guida al Neighborhood, per voi turisti illuminati che uscite da Manhattan e venite a farvi un giro da 'ste parti, Williamsburg is da place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Una Pizza?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.motorinopizza.com/"&gt;Motorino&lt;/a&gt; e' la pizza piu' buona del quartiere. I ragazzi sono Belgi, lo so lo so...ma la pizza e' cio' che piu' si avvicina ad una nostra pizza napoletana. Per i puristi, attenzione, i suddetti ragazzi hanno la cattiva abitudine di dare una leggera spruzzatina di pecorino (spruzzatina e pecorino si puo' dire?). Con 15 dollari ve la cavate ( certo poi c'e' la mancia...).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un Cinese?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scoccia un po' aver trovato un unico ristorante cinese che mi piaccia e che sia un posto poco cinese/ molto indie ma oh, qui si vuole mangiare bene quindi recatevi con gioia al &lt;a href="http://www.mshanghaiden.com/"&gt;M Shanghai Bistro &lt;/a&gt;,  e non azzardatevi a non assaggiare la Shanghai Vegetarian Wonton Soup. C'ho anche incontrato Ryan Adams una volta. Prezzo per abbondante cena sui 20  dolla. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un Japponese?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Eh, come puo' una che non mangia sushi consigliarvi un Jappo? Non puo' ma e' anche vero che mica esiste solo il Sushi? C'e' un ottimo Pollo Teriaki o una sempre gradita Tempura...ecco avendone provati gia' un bel po' il vincitore e' per ora &lt;a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/miyako/menus/main.html"&gt;Miyako&lt;/a&gt;. Dicono il miglior sushi a un prezzo ragionevole.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un Hamburger?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Buono. mmmm. Se l'hamburger e' fatto bene e' una goduria per i sensi, quindi non indugiate e recatevi da &lt;a href="http://www.dumontrestaurant.com/"&gt;Dumont&lt;/a&gt;, ce ne sono due sparsi per il quartiere, localizzare quello piu' vicino a voi ( tipo le uscite di sicurezza). Succulenti Hamburger e ricordatevi di specificare quanto li volete cotti&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; ( la domanda che forse in principio non capirete sara' " how do you want it cook?" e voi risponderete " Rare- al sangue , Medium o Medium Well- ben cotto"). Ok?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un Gelato?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un gelato, macche', non un semplice gelato, un'esperienza, un tuffo in un telefilm ambientato nel New Jersey, uno strano viaggio spazio temporale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;q=289+Manhattan+Ave,+Brooklyn,+NY+11211,+USA&amp;amp;ll=40.713972,-73.945971&amp;amp;spn=0.010133,0.018625&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=16&amp;amp;iwloc=addr"&gt;Fortunato Brothers&lt;/a&gt;, e' il vero gelato da 'ste parti, diffidate di tutti questi cosi chiamati Italian Ices, 'na schifezza. Fortunato ha il gelato che fa per noi. E non ha solo quello, ha mille tipi di pasticcini, cannoli, bigne', sfoglie...e un'atmosfera italoamericana che va assaggiata anche solo per pochi minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;L'espresso e' buonissimo. Ecchetelodicoafare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0r0RKEQuIVE/SkE3kPWxGXI/AAAAAAAAABQ/CiaTXoZkGpI/s320/IMG_5621.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350618928029702514" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Minchia m'e' venuta fame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ah dimenticavo, la colazione verra' affrontata in un nuovissimo e gustosissimo post. Doveroso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;_______________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That's a topic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In this country food is an obsession. Restaurants are always open, everywhere, everywhen, anyhow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But i am here to help, and i will help you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A little guide of the neighborhood, for you adventurous turists that don't want to hang out just in Manhattan and decide to visit Williamsburg, it's da place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Pizza?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.motorinopizza.com"&gt;Motorino&lt;/a&gt; is the best pizza of the neighborhood, the most authentic and closer to a neapolitan italian pizza. These belgian guys like to put some pecorino cheese on top of the pizza, no no no, not good, but if you like it...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Chinese?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It bothers me to have found an indie style chinese, but it's the only one i really liked so go and enjoy the &lt;a href="http://mshanghaiden.com/"&gt;M Shanghai Bistro&lt;/a&gt; and don't forget, for any reason, to try the Shanghai Vegetarian Wonton Soup. I even met Ryan Adams here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Japanese?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yeah, right. How can i suggest a Japanese if i don't eat sushi? I can't. But at &lt;a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/miyako/menus/main.html"&gt;Miyaco&lt;/a&gt; they have good Chicken Terioki, gret Tempura and somebody told me that it's the best sushi at reasonable prices. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Hamburger?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tasty! To eat a good hamburger is a bless for the senses, so don't be afraid and go to&lt;a href="http://www.dumontrestaurant.com/"&gt; Dumont&lt;/a&gt;. There are two Dumont in the neighborhood, find the one nearest to you. Great burgers!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Gelato?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Gelato?
