Opera Samson and Delilah by Camille Saint-Saëns, premiered in 1877.
It’s a full house. Rosh Hashanah in 2024 is from tomorrow October 2nd to 4th: happy Rosh Hashanah, or Shanah tovah.
Enjoyed this production. The few dancers brought a different visual feast in the 3rd act: refreshing.

Love IT.
Courteous staff. Wooden tables and decors (a little too busy). Fresh flowers. High ceiling. Spacious bathroom
The warm slice breads are to die for. Hummus is bit salty but yummy. Nuts are warm but the ones with akin are soft – not crunch (esp almonds – ok I’m picking bones among eggs … a Chinese proverb), which seriously discounted the taste.
We only ordered one French salad and they served in two bowls (I wasn’t going to have that … too healthy for this pig!) – guuuush that forces me to eat greens -:) – it’s yummy.
The chocolates – Italia amaretto ganache and Mayan chili truffle are yummy – they purchase them fresh.
Opera Samson and Delilah followed.

Probably will return
The cigar boxes decor is cool
An average restaurant with good service and Cuban food. The steak sandwich looks really good – probably will return for it.
My grouper is good, I didn’t ask for the bun.

Will return when pass by.
We stopped by this cute shack off 301 at Ferraro’s. It opens on weekdays – the tomato farm opens on weekends. We had our lunch but stopped by for some take out.
It’s a family business but the sweet girl said he’s not her father.
The mullet is pretty good. The crab cakes are ok – only bec I made a few two weeks ago myself, with less breadcrumbs (?) more crab meat.

All native. All green. Many butterflies.
I’ve no green thumb. My only time ‘gardening’ is during my supermarket trips, when I see a pretty orchid (have you seen an ugly orchid or flowers?!?) I buy it or them, start of my many gardening -:) journeys.
This place is kind of hidden, lovely. They’ve many plants that you won’t find elsewhere. No a/c (pls no hate here …) One bathroom.
Lunched at Ferraro’s; take out fm Gulley’s.

A resounding yes to return, for the skipper (?) who’s from Nicaragua, has two children in the army and the youngest (17 y/o) is in training here. They’ve another one in Sarasota.
Nicaragua is the only Central America country I’ve visited, in 2009. The skipper wanted to know where we were from … New York isn’t going to do for him … so I said Beijing China. He said that’s where he wants to visit … call me If you need any inside tips.
The decor is simple and clean. The food is delicious and the house wine is sublime.
Love their Riedel glasses.
So just as we’re about to leave for our Rays game, they rolled out their Tuesday prosciutto $35 for 2 oz … do I hate him – come back another Tuesday!
p.s. ask for key to the bathroom

Will return for beer only.
This German restaurant’s decor is on the busy side. We walked in 10 minutes past their opening, and everyone seems asleep.
As soon as we sat down, power went out in the area… and was restored 10 minutes later.
34oz beer is fresh and yummy, with robust head – not the artificial turf (per Dennis miller when he commented on a NFL’s owner’s hair in 2000). It reminds me of the beer gardens in Germany (female servers hold up 6 or 8 glasses…) and one in New York’s Central Park.
No pork knuckle offered on the menus.
Food is mediocre. My lamb is dry. The part isn’t covered by the gravy looks aged. String beans are mushy and sour. Potato is tasty. The goulash is ok.
what a pillow is doing here?

A cute little Turkish restaurant, 0.4 miles south of the opera house – Palladium.
A young couple is manning the dining room, with efficient service.
We’ve
Baklava is wonderful, sweet but not killing your throat sweet. The coffee is served in a pretty cup, bitter sweet. It almost knocked me out – so I can write about it truthfully it probably would taste better without the sugar – but it probably the taste of Turkish
