    I had this website saved some time in the past but my computer crashed. I have since gotten a new one and it took me a while to locate this! I also really like the theme though.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

    Hi Jenny,

    I’m a fan of your articles and I’m writing to let you know about a new ristobar I just opened on Ludlow Street. It’s called Tromba (trumpet in Italian) and the concept is top-quality new Italian cuisine in a warm and lively environment. House specialties include family recipes from my hometown, Genova, most notably pesto “avvantaggiato” (the most authentic pesto recipe, with string beans and potato) and spaghetti with wild clams and Pinot Grigio, as well as some original creations, like spiced bison tartare and a wild hare ragu with a touch of dark chocolate.

    The flavors and ambiance of Tromba are colored by my world travels. I left Italy when I was 20 and spent several years in the Middle East and Central Asia. I lived in Afghanistan and Iraq while working as a political analyst and later taught international politics at Hunter College. Alongside myself, Tromba has seven partners, hailing from Italy, Mexico, Kosovo, Dominica, and the United States.

    The restaurant has a certain “New York early 1900s” feel, because of the exposed brick walls and the high ceilings covered in original tin. The airy lounge in front of the bar sports comfy leather couches and a large collection of books, covering politics, literature, poetry, music, and theatre. Local musicians often swing by for impromptu jamming sessions and we have live music gigs several nights a week.

    I would be delighted if you came to check out Tromba.

    In any case, all the best, I will continue following your great work!
