First off, thank you, Tibor, for keeping the boundaries of what may be posted here wide. Your attire may be "costume-y" to some, but it makes sense to you, you wear it with some sense of authority, and it is always of interest.
In comparison, what I'm posting today pales . . .
Something more formal and somber for today, as I've got to attend a funeral this morning, before heading to the office. I am sure that what I'm wearing probably violates many "rules" of proper attire for a funeral, but I am sure that the aggrieved will be more interested in my presence at proceedings than what I am wearing.

This seems like an appropriate time (other than being about 6 months late) to post this horrible picture of when I ran into Tibor at a bar in San Diego. Internet fame at it's best when I come running up to you asking for a picture.
Well, we have a Little Italy here in NYC, but nobody who is even a little bit cool hangs out there.
Ah, ours is right near downtown and just down the street from some art galleries and such. In other words, people whom I consistently try to impress but am always shot down by.
My biggest issue with Tibor's one photo is that he is clearly wearing a morning coat at an evening event.
Yes, It is my fault, I was in a hurry and tried to conceal it with outerwear rather switching into my Evening Dress. I have seen it done in movies and pictures but the reason they were correct and I was wrong is they went to events during the day, and did not go home and change. I was went home to change quickly and was lazy. I was lucky to get away with it.

Quite true - Little Italy now consists of middling-quality Italian restaurants on Mulberry St., hemmed in with the expansion of Chinatown. All the coolness happens further north, towards Alphabet City, unless it's heavily funded, then it occurs in Soho and Tribeca.
Nolita is cool, desserts are good on Mulberry, but that is about it. Any place that tries to woo you into their restaurant should be avoided at all costs. It is worse than 6th street in the East Village. Anybody familiar knows what I mean.
