Leo’s Casa Calamari Reopened!

March 24, 2012 Reviews
No comments

As we strolled along 3rd Avenue last night, we discovered that Leo’s Casa Calamari has reopened after a fire caused it to close last fall.

Though it wasn’t a cold or snowy winter, it certainly was a long one due to Casa being closed for renovations.  We had been itching for their squares and chicken rolls all winter long.  Naturally, upon seeing Casa open once again, we ditched our dinner plans at a restaurant a few blocks away, stood on-line and ordered two chicken rolls to go.  There was a 30 minute wait for seating, so we certainly weren’t the only ones missing Leo and his food.

While waiting for our chicken rolls, the fine people at Casa took a fresh vegetable square pie out of the oven, and its sight made us have to have one.  Yes, it was calling us.

And there it is, the glorious chicken roll that we missed, pined, and longed for all winter.  It’s good to have you back in our belly!

Leo, welcome back, and best of luck once again!

Rothschild’s Brunch

We aren’t usually the type to go out for brunch on a Sunday, but we recently ventured out for a late lunch at Rothschild’s in Downtown Brooklyn and discovered that brunch was still going on — we LOVE brunch food, but could do without tables of more than four people.  Since we love their food, we stayed and ordered ourselves Eggs Louis Armstrong.

Eggs Louis Armstrong = poached eggs, shredded pork, red bean, potato hash, and hollandaise = perfection!!!

If we weren’t already married, we would have totally run off and eloped with that meal.  It was THAT good.  So, should you be in the mood for yummy brunch (or yummy food in general), try out Rothschild’s — it’s delish!

The Best & Worst Advertisement Of All Time

January 23, 2012 Reviews

We came across what, in our humble opinion, is the worst advertisement of all time.  It’s a billboard that we snapped a quick pic of as we got on the subway here in NYC, because we needed to see it again to see what we were missing with our bare eyes, and as it turned out, we still didn’t have a clue to what the billboard was advertising.  Our wife saw the pic, and without even hearing us say that we thought that it was the worst billboard of all time said, “Oooh!  That’s the best billboard of all time!”

So, here it is, the best and worst billboard of all time:

If you think that it’s the best billboard of all time, then you know what the billboard is all about, but, for those who are like us and had no idea what the blank slate and March 25 stood for, the billboard is an advertisement for the return of Mad Men to AMC.

Apparently the guy in the suit is part of the cartoon beginning that Mad Men has.  Based off of this newly learn fact, we suspect that the theme for this season of Mad Men’s advertising must have been: let’s only try to get our core audience to return after being off the air for over a year and not even try to get any new viewers, because let’s face it, we’re definitely not going to get any new viewers.  To each their own, we guess.

In any event, whether or not you think that this Mad Men advertisement is the best or worst advertisement ever, we can all probably agree that this ad is a graffiti artist/tagger’s wet dream.  We can’t wait to see if someone draws a big penis that was used as a diving board and a toilet that will be used as a pool in all of that open white space.

A Kick Ass Bathroom

Q: What do you do if you’re a grow man in a foreign country and discover that the bathroom in your hotel (Hotel Madero in Buenos Aires) has two different types of toilet paper, a bidet, and a telephone?


A: If you answered call the hotel’s front desk to make an international collect call to your wife’s cell phone because you can’t figure out how to dial a number local to the United States even though your wife is in the same hotel room, just not the bathroom, to then tell her that the two different type of toilet paper is making you indecisive, and that the bidet could also be used as a shower head.  Well… then you are spot on correct.

So, in summary, multiple types of toilet paper, a bidet and a telephone all within reach of the head are awesome!

World’s Best Pizza: Guerrin Pizza

As a lover of pizza and a Brooklynite through and through, this is going to come as a shock, because it shocked us: we had the best pizza in the world, and it’s not in Brooklyn, nor is it in New York City.  We know, we know.  It’s a hard pill to swallow, but the fact of the matter is that the best pizza that we have ever had is in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The winner of the World’s Best Pizza title is currently: Guerrin Pizza.


As if the near total lack of stupid and/or annoying Americans wasn’t a good enough excuse to want to move to Buenos Aires, Guerrin pizza puts it over the top.  The pizza tasted so good, we were literally moaning with delight.  Two words that sum up Guerrin Pizza: HOLY COW!!!
