There's a Neapolitan expat a few blocks away who makes good pizzas in ovens made to mimic home. Rather remarkable and convenient.

This is entirely true. How did you know?

Not at all. In fact, if you tell them you're from off here, they'll know to bring 500 swatches for you to inspect so that you can order the perfect tie.

Is it true that if one buys 10 or more ties at one time, they will throw in a deerstalker cap?

Did the Maestro clothe Sean C.?

I never knew that.

You are probably not aware that he designed for Gerald Ford ( before your time ). It might have been his first big American commission.

Mina Adamo does this for Cappelli. Of course, she knows there will never be just one perfect tie.

She should be made patron saint of swatches. And iGents should have a festival of swatches every year in a hotel room. It would be a Bacchanalian fete that would rival an SG-1 marathon.

Under the tables, in the back corner of the restaurant, right by the entrance to the tunnel that goes underneath Central Park and takes you to the Carlyle.

What's with the opposition to swatches?
