we used to see him a lot at our local grocery store in the upper west side of NYC

Did he often seem to be lost, searching for the Italian foods aisle?

never...I always saw him at citarella...man do i miss that place..anyway, last night episode in Rome was good..need some cacio e pepe this week

on the UES the Citarella is on the corner and at one point it had an attached bar/resto on the adjacent side of the corner (under a different name). they had a dollar oysters happy hour every week, which I used to hit up often. one time I actually found a baby pearl inside. not sure what happened to it

we had a friend that lived by that one...been there a few times but always made the time to walk a couple blocks down to JG Melon for a burger and a drink

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
