Last Gasp: Closing Time at Casanova’s

It was an evening of business mixed with pleasure at Casanova Restaurant tonight. I didn’t mind: giving Casanova my business is a pleasure. The Mister talked baseball with the guys and I made gaffes over good vittles.

1. I said Hunter was safe. They disagreed. I reached a compromise:

In New York City Hunter is out, but as far as I’m concerned he was safe. Please do not spit in my food. (laughter)

2. True confession time:

I’m a Met’s fan… but I’d rather see the Yankees win than the Angels. Los Angeles sucks. (more laughter)

Casanova’s food is very nice for the price (TIP: ask for the arugula salad. It’s not on the menu, but if/when it is available order it!). The atmosphere is a delightfully unpretentious. It is one of the last true old school restaurants/hang-outs left in North Brooklyn.

What’s more, they’re great guys (even if they are Yankees fans). You can peruse their menu by clicking here.

P.S.: If you dine in insist upon being seated in the back room. It is FABULOUS!
