May 7- May 13
\nWarning: This is devoted to food and drink. Last week I worked the birthday gig.
\nNow that we\u2019re in Monsoon season\u2026 On Sunday, we had torrential rains for five and a half minutes and then a beautiful sky. A generous friend took me to Felidia, a restaurant that\u2019s part of the Lidia Bastianich\u2019s eatery empire. I battled the rain on Second Avenue and Fifty-eighth Street and arrived at Felicia. It\u2019s like a cavern, narrow and dark. After some lovely prosecco we went into the crowded, small by NYC standards, dining room. The menu is needlessly complicated and fussy. You wade through field, garden and sea offerings in Italian and English. But the pappardelle was the best pasta dish I\u2019ve devoured in a long time.
\nLast Saturday, a friend treated me to Jack\u2019s 7 Subway walk. What a great idea. You hop on and off the 7 Subway and get a glimpse of what\u2019s happening in Queens. The diversity of cultures is evident in the neighborhood restaurants and businesses.<\/p>\n

I met a friend at the Frick for the preview of the portrait medals exhibition, The Pursuit of Immortality. The Garden Court is the perfect place for people gawking. The Frick serves champagne, white wine and sparkling water. No red wine. Stains, you know. We then went around the block to Le Charlot. We sat outside, neither of us feeling much pain after the Frick.<\/p>\n

Rosemary on Greenwich has linguine made with preserved lemon (what\u2019s that?), pickled chili and parmigiana. It\u2019s divine and was a perfect ending to a lovely birthday week-long party.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: Recent thirty-five-year-old widow Millie Fitzgerald applies for a private school teaching job, faints on a stabbed and dying man, deals with the only witness to the stabbing – a troubled nine year old, develops a crush on a NYPD detective and her dog dies.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: Nine year old Dana is the only witness who overhears three people fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell? Her mother who never listens or accuses her of lying? Her father who\u2019s started a new family in Singapore?<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: Something\u2019s eating at NYPD Detective Steve Kulchek: a failed marriage? surviving a car bomb? his girlfriend marrying his corrupt boss? screwing up an important case? It doesn\u2019t matter because he\u2019s relentless.<\/p>\n
