I've never thought that gentrification has to be a zero-sum enterprise. Right now many worlds are co-existing side-by-side. There's no reason not to cheer for the continuation of a truly diverse neighborhood, no matter how Quixotic it may seem.Clarkson FlatBedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463744536115119388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-84934283513974770032017-09-26T11:12:31.121-04:002017-09-26T11:12:31.121-04:00Sorry Seth.

Love Peppas, Hammonds, Culpeppers (Gino's not so much), Jamaican Pride, Food Sermon, etc., but I also like to sit down when I eat. <br /><br />(BTW, these interlopers come all the way from Locanda Vini e Olii in Clinton Hill. Not our kind, really, but let's do make an effort to welcome them.)<br /><br />And keep on fighting for that Lost Cause, baby!JJeffrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436572368115236448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-47024645961496373492017-09-25T00:20:12.608-04:002017-09-25T00:20:12.608-04:00Jeff, the "real" restaurants to me are o...Jeff, the "real" restaurants to me are ones that have roots in the community...<br /><br />I hear these Camillo folks are nice and we should welcome them.

As in, friendly (kid friendly, too) and very affordable.<br /><br />The menu is short but full of surprises: Roman cuisine. Everything is kind of the same as Italian but different in a good way. The Sig-Oth and I had two of the mains--lamb for her, fritto misto for me. Wine was a really good Falanghina. We shared a salad after. Food was excellent (OK, the lamb was slightly oversalted on the surface, perfectly fine beneath. Opening Night! The fritto was to die for.<br /><br />Several changes of families with young kids (under 3?) up front. The restaurant was "lively" so not a disturbance elsewhere, but this too seems well-thought out and should be a draw.<br /><br />JJeffrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436572368115236448noreply@blogger.com
