<p>Glad you enjoyed it. Did you make it to Ferrara’s for dessert?</p>
<p>I have to share a story. About 10 years ago I did a search for my grandparents’ (dad’s side) immigrations records from Calabria to Ellis Island. As was typically the custom then, the husband preceded the wife by several years to find employment and get settled. I knew where they eventually settled but when I found my grandfather’s ship manifest record from 1902 I was stunned to see that his initial destination in the US was at a cousin’s residence at 163 1/2 Mulberry St…the apartment directly above what 76 years later became my favorite restaurant in Little Italy. I got goosebumps when I read it.</p>
<p>Truly a very small world…</p>
