Americana Concours

My favorite shopping mall, the Americana in Manhasset, hosts an annual car show, the Concours d'Elegance. It's free to attend and a lot of fun to see the variety of cars, from a 1912 Ford, to the latest Rolls Royces. It's become a family tradition to go see the show, and we've been lucky that the weather has been super gorgeous on show day.











By the way, these pictures were manipulated in the Fotor app. What do you think? A nice break from the usual or too tricky?

Favorite Places

Cipollini is a restaurant in our neighborhood that we often end up at, sometimes for a dinner, but usually for drinks when we want to hang out somewhere after a dinner. They have decent Italian food, a fun atmosphere for people watching, and a nice bar with friendly (and generous) bartenders. The antipasti platter is our favorite.

This restaurant is actually located at the Americana Manhasset mall, which is how we first discovered it, by lunching there once in between some shopping. We've never been back for lunch; however, in the evenings it is a well dressed singles' scene, earning nicknames like "Cougar Town" and "Alimony Alley". But that just makes it even more fun for the people watching aspect.

Anyways, not a bad choice if you happen to be in the area.
