To celebrate my 7 decades on THIS earth…….friends and I gathered at Giovanni Rana in the Chelsea Market Place.
It is the best pasta restaurant in New York City……….the food is definitely the star here.
Is this a cake?!!! After all that pasta………yes!
The lovely Ilona……who is just shy of 10 decades…..was my special guest.
Dustin……….photographer at large………..and the Donald person……..
Jo and the Andy man…………effervescent as ever.
Ms. G……..the Greek countessa……..glam as usual.
Ilona….singer….painter….poet……..and her new jewels.
I did NOT get to take him home……just the card.
Tart tatin………..is that Italian?
When you ask for olives………this is what you get.
Parmesan salad……chicory…..arugula……..walnuts.
Tiramisu………authentic Italian style……….and not too sweet.
Don’t know what this is……but Joana ate it all.
You pick it……..they cook it………..for ONE MINUTE. Very Al Dente.
