I'd like some classic Austrian/Hungarian pastries,and more fruit based pastries,along with good coffee and tea.

Let me count the markets;Union Square,New Amsterdam,Fort Greene,Hastings On Hudson,Santa Monica,the central square in Padua,Saturday market in Oaxaca,Bastille...yaketty yak.

The Bay Area[oh gawd]...Zuni Cafe,Judy Rodgers,among others.

I could live Without the shower in the kitchen.A dumbwaiter[who remembers these?]and a hood vent for the stove would be great...

I Love this cake,more bitter than super sweet,great flavor...very satisfying with a cup of black coffee.

Inspection and grades for food carts would have the cover the location of the actual storing and prep for the food,as well as overnight cart storage...I vote yea.

Sagrantino di Montefalco.Blood on blood....

A Taste of India,by Madhur Jaffrey...when I was a freelance artist,and had time on my hands,I did cook my way through this book,learning a lot about ingredients that were totally new to me,and about regional foods from home cooks of all strata.A charming book,now falling apart,and there wasn't a dish that wasn't at least fairly delicious.

I tried to sell this at Otto for a few years,but nobody got it....It was My favorite breakfast anyhow...:coffee granita,brioche and caramel whipped cream at 10am....

There was a very old world Italian food shop on 29th street and 3rd Avenue named Trinacria;wooden floors,barrels of things and the first and best sausage and pepper sandwich that I ever tasted...all for 65 cents in 1968[which was a lot to spend on a sandwich at that point in my life].A nod to Zampieri's Bakery on Sullivan Street,which baked big thick slabs of onion focaccia every morning.And the cafaterias,some good,some awful;the Dayton,the Garden,Dubrow's,the Gouverner.
