However, nothing says sit down date night like Ferraras. Whiskey... currently Glenlivet and Macallan... I am not too particular there... I have a bottle of each buried in the back cabinet. Wine... right now there are about 25 different bottles of wine around the house at all times... in various places around the kitchen... utilizing the cabinet, a wine rack on a center preparation table and the wine rack near the kitchen outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed Not going crazy with the whine... I don't believe you have to spend crazy amounts and can find decent wines in the $15-$20 range. I have a lot of different things but never got into the wine thing as seriously as a couple of others... Cut of steak... depends on what you are doing with the steak. Skirt steak is a favorite recently... seem to be buying a lot of that. It marinates and cooks well and cuts well if you are using the steak for other dishes.

But only one It's known I have three copies. Probably this one is the most meaningful. This is the one I scrimped and saved to get and bought as I was in college. I might have been 19 when I bought this. Now... the story behind it is that I purchased it raw from this guy who was setting up tables at the old Rockville Centre Holiday Inn shows on Long Island. Back then people were passing restored books off left and right as the real thing. I had no idea what any of that was until the guy that sold it to me wanted to point out that it was untouched and no one had used any marker on it or anything. I did not know what that meant but I was listening. What I was most impressed with was that this guy didn't treat me as a kid and treated me as a serious buyer. Other vendors did not. So I bought this from him. The guy who I bought this from? Vincent Zurzolo before there was a Metropolis Comics. Currently sitting in a 1.8... I never had it pressed. This is my keeper AF15 not because it was the lowest grade of the three but because this one I really worked for.

Wow, I haven't been to Down the Hatch since the 90s, fun place. Ferraras & Roccos are equally awesome. Personal favs cannoli @ Roccos and the ricotta cheesecake @ Ferraras. Ever eaten the Strip House on 12th Street? Excellent, and great service. Buzzetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is pencil writing on the inside title page of one of the backup stories... I think it was 50+50 = 100 if I remember correctly. mattn792 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a decent enough deal to get us back into the city since between most of my friends and I, we already have LIRR train passes or get to ride for free.

As @PeteFromPetesBasement said when he saw it in person... (Pete rarely stops by) "Why is that not a 4.0?
