I\u2019ve been doing my share of eating and drinking this week. Tavern on Jane is a congenial pub on the ultra hot Jane Street and a perfect meeting place for celebrating the season. Another place for celebrating is Morandi. Its signature dish is Carciofi alla Guidea. These deep fried artichokes are crunchy and delicious. I first had them at Giggetto\u2019s in Rome, a restaurant that featured Roman Jewish cooking. It\u2019s on a busy Roman street near Piazza Mattei and the charming turtle fountain.<\/p>\n

Christmas in Rome: Piazza Navona is filled with shepards down from the mountains playing their sour-sweet melodies while the merchants beseech you to buy trinkets. These days they are usually made in China.
\nI\u2019m indulging in a Christmas tradition of listening to Prokfiev\u2019s \u201cPeter and the Wolf\u201d.<\/p>\n

A very Merry Holiday!<\/p>\n
