I stand by my conviction that good restaurants in the state of Connecticut are few and far between.

Recently wandered into a new dining spot in the West Village.

I have consumed some tasty pies at Pizzeria Mozza in Hollywood, but nothing compared to New York. I read about a new, intimate, modern space in the unprepossessing Robertson/Pico neighborhood.

This week I went in an entirely different direction.

I admit to Indulging in Gucci. I have never been known to devour the product.
