NYC Restaurant Week 2010

Marco Lombardini — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:02:37 +0000

NYC Restaurant Week is upon us! Now here is some background and information to get you on your way. New York City’s original celebration of dining, dates back to 1992, when it was developed as a one-time culinary program to welcome the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to the City. Though created with an eye toward delegates and other DNC attendees, the program also found a strong following with residents eager for the chance to eat at some of the City’s top restaurants for a fraction of the usual cost—$19.92 for three courses—and who didn’t want NYC Restaurant Week to be a one-time-only event.

Since 1992, the success of NYC Restaurant Week has only grown. It has expanded to include both lunch and dinner offerings—three-course, prix-fixe meals for $24.07 and $35 respectively—and extended to two weeks each in the summer and winter.

Today, NYC Restaurant Week stands apart as one of the City’s most exciting and anticipated events. More than 235 restaurants participate—a cross-section of the NYC culinary scene that encompasses a diverse range of cuisines and includes some of its most time-honored restaurants and buzz-worthy newcomers. Through its evolution, however, the driving force behind the program remains the same: to give visitors and residents the opportunity to experience the quality, variety and hospitality that embody the NYC dining experience.

Me and Mike’s Future

Marco Lombardini — Sat, 03 May 2008 21:55:55 +0000

Now that there are no more headlines prompting Michael Bloomberg to run for president and all the virtual rumors spreading that he might make the VP ticket we can now happily discuss what really will be in Bloomies future. A cabinet position in the new White House administration… maybe. We all know he has to stay in the limelight to make any future in politics viable but what will he do? Perhaps he can be convinced to run for Governor of NY but many say that this will not happen due to the bureaucracy of the state senate and the new tide of Democrats winning seats.

So what are you to do when your a billionaire with-out a job.

Start a new career in philanthropy! Pouring millions of dollars into local and national projects dedicating time to the lecture circuit and promoting his policies to the masses and of-course making political allies in congress and senate for his Presidential bid for 2012.

He wants to be President and he will wait for the right time to make his move. If Obama wins the presidential election there will be an open field for the 2012 race and the right candidate won’t have to face McCain or Hillary.
