twenty Manning after the redo

I loved the old twenty Manning. The Interior was elegant, but not pretentious. The asian influence added a flair to the food that was refreshing and always satisfying. Before 7,  it was quiet enough to have a conversation.  We went every week to 10 days.
Last night was our third attempt at the new Twenty Manning Grill.

A fine dining experience

Alice and I think La Fourno restaurant is wonderful. We were not sure that they were open on Mondays, but to our good fortune they were.  Alice had the Pasta Ramooza; a combination of Homemade Fusilli, Tiger shrimp, snow peas and Artichokes, in a white truffle oil, which was exquisite. I had the homemade ricotta [...]

My new Philadelphia online gift shop

After many requests I have opened an on-line gift shop that features apparel, memorabilia, and gift items decorated with a wide selection of my Philadelphia imagery.

Mayor Nutter and the city drops the snow ball

After doing such a good job clearing the streets of the 28 inches of light fluffy snow, the Mayor dropped the proverbial snow ball during the 2nd storm of wet heavy snow. On Early Friday I heard Council woman Blackwell criticize the mayor for cutting back on the trucks being used for salt and plowing.

Philadelphia Winter and How I am spending it

With all the snow you might think I had tons of time to write my blog. Even though I spent a lot of time shoveling snow, I did manage to see two movies, three concerts, attend Lisa’s photography salon, get hooked on Lost via Hulu, walk a lot, and photograph Washington Square, League Island, the Love [...]

around my Philadelphia

As I mentioned in the last entry during my layoff from blogging I attended several concerts. The first one was exceptional. It was the Curtis Institute Orchestra’s Graduation Recital with Joshua Gersen as conductor. The performance was exhilarating with Mr. Gersen’s conducting only matched by the energy of the orchestra. Any time you can see [...]

Around My Philadelphia

It has been a while since my last post. I apologize for the absence.
During the past two weeks I have seen two concerts, 1 movie, had a house guest, created new art pieces, and did the 10 day home show at the Philadelphia Convention center.
My friend Jeff,  who I met in the mid 60’s and have [...]

Around My Philadelphia 1.9.10

Last night Alice and I were invited to have dinner with Betsy Alexander and Burnell YOW! at the Smile Cafe. They are both artists recognized in their own right for their work, but at this present time they are probably known better as Nora the piano playing cat’s parents. http://www.ravenswingstudio.com/NoraWeb/nora_home.html
After dinner we attended an opening of a [...]

Around My Philadelphia 1.8.10

Last night I was lucky enough to attend  a reception at the University of Pennsylvania’s renowned Wistar Institute. it was for the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo competition. This competition is restricted to photographs taken through a microscope. There were  demonstrations of the equipment, an awards ceremony and a short talk about the evolution [...]
