Going back to my Italian bar tending roots to try and recover from a week that felt like it lasted a month! What time is it? It’s Negroni O’Clock! I rode the subway for the first time in 4 weeks and had a productive shopping trip. Picked up takeout for the 3rd tome in 4 weeks and it felt good! So it’s time to relax with a delicious Negroni. My shoulders are loosening up already. Watching Mystery Men with the kids. I am teaching g then the art of movies through my incredible movie collection. Mystery Men is a 1999 American superhero comedy film directed by Kinka Usher and written by Neil Cuthbert and Bob Burden, loosely based on Burden's Flaming Carrot Comics. The movie has an incredible cast and stars @hankazaria Claire Forlani @janeanegarofalo @eddieizzard Greg Kinnear @williamhmacy @iamkelmitchell @reallenaolin Paul Reubens @geoffrey_rush @benstiller @wesstudiofficial and @tom_waits_66 The film details the story of a team of lesser superheroes with unimpressive powers who are required to save the day. If you haven’t seen it and you love superhero’s but like to root for the underdogs check it out, you won’t be disappointed! . . . . . . . . #mysterymenmovie #mysterymen #classic90smovies #ilovebenstiller #ilovehankazaria #hankazaria #greatmoviecast #nycmanofmanytalents #outrageouslydelicious #nyc #nyc🗽 #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #newyorkcity #newyorkcitylife #washingtonheights #localtouristnyc #negroni #negronitime #cocktaillovers #nycphoto #212 #bartender #cocktails #cocktailporn #hendricks #sweetvermouth #campari (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_G6oGLJH5m/?igshid=xjot6fqoqal8

“A long, long, long time ago in a land, far, far, far away.” This was taken this past weekend in an empty park with plenty of social distancing. Trying to have fun while we can. Taking o e day at a time. Be well, be healthy, be safe, and be SANE! This thing is nuts! . . . . . . . #nyc #nyc🗽#manhattan #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #washingtonheights #newyorker #newyorkcity #newyorkny #newyorkinstagram #citywhereilive #touristinmycity #citywhereilivein #thecitywhereilive #newyorkcitylife #newyorkcitypics #newyorkcityphotos #localtouristnyc #212 #nycmanofmanytalents #localtouristnyc #coronavirusquarantine #nature #nycparks #nycphoto #nycphotos #fortwashingtonpark #hudsonriver (at Fort Washington Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gLwKVJW8z/?igshid=hx637mucv63p

When the going gets tough, the tough make wings! You can take the boy out of Buffalo, but you can’t take Buffalo out of the boy! Social distancing never tasted so good. Only problem is I love to share when I cook. Luckily the neighbors got to reap the spoils. Pictured are classic spicy and honey barbecue. Who wants some? I will deliver, do takeout, you name it.

I tried the Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich today and it delivered deliciousness as promised. I would have like it if it was a whole lot spicier but the crust and chicken were perfect. I ordered it plain, it came out fresh and 💥 it was gone! Felix ate half of it and he has an aversion to spicy but he is learning to love it. I highly recommend you stop and pick one up and give it a try! . . . . . . . . @popeyeslouisianakitchen @popeyes_chicken_sandwich @food52 @eater @eater_ny #nyc #nyc🗽#manhattan #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #newyorker #newyorkcity #newyorkny #citywhereilive #touristinmycity #citywhereilivein #thecitywhereilive #newyorkcitylife #newyorkcitypics #newyorkcityphotos #localtouristnyc #nycmanofmanytalents #nycphoto #washingtonheights #popeyeschickensandwich #popeyes #popeyeschicken #delicious #deliciousfood (at Chelsea, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9c06HTnwa2/?igshid=n2cibgn99bf0

Sometimes I@am late to the party, but in this instance it is better late than never. Welcome to Mama’s Too! I have heard wonderful things about this place for a long time but this is my first opportunity to try it! The pizza was everything everyone boasted about and mote. It was pretty incredible and is very close to the pizza I grew up with in Buffalo, NY! It is a thick@soft pillowy dough with a crunchy outer crust and a golden brown bottom. The pepperoni is the real deal. It is cut thick and curls when cooked so that the oil stays put in a little bowl of love. I only tried the pepperoni pizza but they have a number that looked amazing including the sausage and fennel and the Cacio e Pepe. @brendanmoffitt you were so right! This is an excerpt from Pete Wells review in The NY Times in November of 2018 and to me, it’s spot on...”Mr. Tuttolomondo does not fetishize the past. Perhaps this is because he lived it. For almost 60 years his family has owned a series of old-school slice joints in the neighborhood. The current incarnation is literally on a street corner, at the intersection of 106th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. It is called Mama’s Pizza. He didn’t open Mama’s Too a block away to outdo his parents; he’s bringing their product into a new era. If the neoclassicists are like the folk revivalists who collected old acoustic 78s, he is Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.” @pete_wells @mamas_too @nytimes . . . . . . #mamastoo #neopolitanpizza #greatpizza #nypizza #pizzaislove #ilovepizza #nyc #nycmanofmanytalents #outrageouslydelicious #nyc #nyc🗽 #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #newyorkcity #newyorkcitylife #localtouristnyc #newyorkcitypics #newyorkcityphotos #nycpizza #upperwestside #manhattan #pepperonipizza #pepperoni (at Mama's Too) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-VlUSH8zt/?igshid=1gc6vcq2s4u9e

It’s getting hot in NYC so time for another Saturday in the park with the kids. Listening to some @lennykravitz and grabbing a cold tall boy while I chill out on the grass next to the Hudson River. I went to a Firestone Walker Brewery dinner @melsburgerbar what feels like years ago and got this cool hat. I really like their beers. Works for me.

We needed a break and a little fresh air to clear the mind and try to relax while the events of the day continue to unfold and weigh heavy on the mind. Look for peace where and when you can find it. I think if it wasn’t for Fort Washington Park there is a good chance I would have lost my mind by now. . . . . . . . . @nycparks @george.washington.bridge_nyc @ilovewashingtonheights #walkinthepark #fortwashingtonpark #nycparks #springtime #weareone #nyc #nyc🗽#manhattan #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #washingtonheights #newyorker #newyorkcity #newyorkny #abreakfromreality #citywhereilive #touristinmycity #citywhereilivein #thecitywhereilive #newyorkcitylife #newyorkcitypics #newyorkcityphotos #localtouristnyc #212 #nycmanofmanytalents #trytorelax #coronavirusquarantine #peaceofmind (at Fort Washington Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJbV85pN6Y/?igshid=16w8r8m9e8ov1
