NEW YORK At a time when automation has led many to predict the demise of the trading floor, natural disasters, such as Hurricane Sandy, provide a bracing reminder of the crucial role humans play in the market.
When the New York Stock Exchange was forced to close Monday and Tuesday of last week, it was the first time weather had shuttered the market for two consecutive days since 1888.
But electronic trading markets in the United States were also paralyzed by the hurricane, with the decision taken to close them along with the open outcrypits.
And it wasnt the electronic systems that started up again with skeleton service on Tuesday. It was the staff at the brokerages and banks.

Stay warm while riding with cold weather riding gloves.
SEAN in WA
Used these for 40hrs of riding. More like 30 of actual riding. Two fingers, one on each hand wore through. Not what I expected for the cost. I will not be buying Klim again. Save your cash, I wish I had a suggestion for something more durable. I will post when I find something. Coles notes: DON'T but these gloves.Read All Reviews
Mark in Washington
I think they are OK but not great. I bought 2 pairs, one for my son and one for me. We ride moto in cool and wet winters in the NW and need a glove that keeps our hands warm and dry. I generally buy Fox here on RM because they have good deals even though I think the quality of the Fox products are not superb. These gloves fit small to me. My son is 12 and has small hands and I bought him an adult small and they fit great for him. I wear adult large and my gloves are tight. Both cases, we generally do not have a problem but Fox gear always seems to run small. Second, we rode in 32 to 35 degree F weather and our hands were frozen. These gloves don't do a great job of keeping your hands warm in cold weather. When we rode in 40's and 50's, they work good. Third, for riding moto, these are thick and bulky. I can see using these for riding snowmobiles with hand warmers but dirt bikes, not so much. A bit let down for the $50 spent, I am not sure these were worth it. I have a pair of the Fox polar paws and they keep my hands almost or just as warm and are easier to grip the bars.Read All Reviews

Kat in UT
Heated grips are nice, but when the rides get colder these liners will add the heat you need to the top of your hands and thumbs. As with all liners, they are not expected to work alone, but as a supplement your gloves and heated grips. I really dislike the cold and you will catch me using the heated seats in my car year around ;-). I was worried to ride a motorcycle in cold temps because I like my creature comforts. Last weekend I rode in temps as cold as 34 degrees Fahrenheit and these liners kept my hands cozy when used in combination with the Firstgear Heated Jacket and Firstgear Troller. As a liner to a good glove they are perfect.Read All Reviews
Joseph in MS
I've been riding for two years now and the bike is my only way to go. I've got goosedown jackets and carhartt pants and insulated boots and a full face. I had insulated leather gloves. but after about 5mins. if it was cooler than 55 degree, you could count on the fact that you were going to get colder and colder each minute until you arrived. After saving up for and doing large amounts of research about these gloves, I decided to go ahead and get them. Installation took 5 mins. They are a little snug, but I understand that any leather item has a break-in period. I turned the heat all the way up and began to ride. 40 degrees outside. 30 minutes later of highway speeds on my shadow, IM CONVINCED! It gets hot enough that you have to turn it back down. I feel as though I could ride for days now. Extremely satisfied with performance, quality and the new quality of riding life.Read All Reviews

ARLINGTON, Wash. (AP) — A sniper killed over the weekend in a shootout with police 50 miles north of Seattle was a disabled military veteran who was recently divorced.
The Snohomish County medical examiner's office confirmed Wednesday it was 60-year-old Robert Edward Endrizzi and said he was killed by multiple gunshot wounds.
A sheriff's spokeswoman says two deputies are on leave for the investigation into Sunday's shooting in Arlington.
The Daily Herald reports (http://is.gd/fDgK4V ) Endrizzi was a recently divorced military veteran on disability who bought the blue one-story rambler in January.
His mother, Kathleen Endrizzi, of Mount Vernon, told KOMO (http://is.gd/7B72X0 ) her son took medication for bi-polar disorder.
A man in his 20s was shot in the leg in his driveway. A number of police vehicles and other cars were hit by bullets.

Early Impressions of the 2010-11 Bucks Schedule
Category: The Off Season
The Opener
Milwaukee opens the regular season on Saturday October 30, which should be no surprise for a few reasons. First, Milwaukee typically starts every year on the road for whatever reason (26 years in a row!), pushing their first home game to the last weekend in October. Second, it's a Saturday night home game, which will be something of a weekly tradition in Milwaukee this season. The Bucks will play a home game on a Saturday 17 times this season. Couple that with the increased expectations and excitement about the team and we're looking at a possible significant attendance boom. Milwaukee had just 13 Saturday home games last year.
Back-to-Backs: 23
With 23 back-to-backs this year (22+ for the third straight season), Milwaukee will tie Chicago for the league lead in that category. Right out of the gates, they come pretty quickly. Milwaukee has three back-to-backs by the end of week two in the season, with two sweeps looking possible and some intriguing tests in a home game against Portland and a road game in Boston for games four and five.
National TV Games: 4
Milwaukee has just four games on the national slate, the November 3rd game at Boston, February 16 vs. Denver, March 6 vs. Boston, and the April 6 contest at Miami, but that's nothing to fret. Last season they had zero and ended up playing three (as I recall) on ESPN. Starting with four is progress, bumping that up to six or seven with stellar play would be even better.
March: The Month of Opportunity
Much like last season, March will be a month of opportunity for Milwaukee. 15 games are on the docket for the Bucks and with 10 of them coming at home, the team could be heading into April like a lion. And the five road games aren't exactly all against world beaters, Washington, Boston, New York, Charlotte and Toronto all could be beatable.
Come for the Globetrotters, stay for the Bucks
For the first time in over 35 years, Milwaukee will be ringing in the New Year in the Bradley Center with a home game on January 1 against the Mavericks. If tradition holds true and the Harlem Globetrotters play in Milwaukee on New Year's Eve, you could set up a nice little two day family basketball fest here in the Mil to open up 2011. Or recover from your hangover with a Bloody Mary at the BC and check out the Roddy Beaubois/Brandon Jennings rematch. And hope Dirk doesn't sink another buzzer beater.
No extended stays out West
Where this season's schedule really favors the Bucks is the lack of an extended trip out West. Remember last season's death march to the left coast in January? Michael Redd blew out his knee, Andrew Bogut missed a layup in Phoenix and the Bucks got blown out a few times. The saving grace was a very well played game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day against Houston and the signing of Jerry Stackhouse the same day, two things that seemed to have sparked the turnaround that would last through April. Well there is no death march this year. The Bucks longest trips to the West are a three game trip to Portland, Los Angeles (Lakers) and Sacramento in late December and three in late January/early February against the Clippers, Suns and warriors. The December swing should merit extra attention though. Milwaukee has two games on a mini-tour of Texas the week before in Dallas and San Antonio before coming home to play Utah as a prelude to their three games. It's a five game trip, but with the benefit of a stop home for rest.
Miniature home stands
Last season, Milwaukee had the luxury of two five-game home stands, something they won't see this year. Milwaukee has four four-gamers, ranging from difficult (Orlando, Miami, Indiana and Houston) to easy Indiana, the Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves.

About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at email@example.com if you must use e-mail.

On why the Bucks open on the road: Ted Davis last year mentioned this fact in the first game of the year, and said that the reason is that the Bucks choose to do it this way so that they can have their home opener on the weekend. Nothing else to it, just trying to draw a bigger crowd for their opener.

2011 CDN Provider Report Card
- Language: English
- 77 Pages
- Published: March 2012
Facing the growth in Internet traffic, especially video, the major telecom operators are now deploying CDNs in their networks.
They could potentially upset the entire video distribution ecosystem.
However, technical deployments are complex and the commercial challenges are daunting in a market that is already very competitive. This study gives the status of this new market and provides information on the positioning of the various players in the value chain.
- What are the operators' initiatives in CDN?
- How will the other players (traditional CDNs, commercial CDNs, content providers) react to operator CDNs?
- What objectives do operators want to achieve with CDNs?
- Can operators be technically and economically competitive?
- Why is the CDN federation essential to this market's development?
- What are the prospects for this market?
The report ships with a slideshow providing the reader with a synopsis of the study's essential points. It enables you:
- to share the principal findings rapidly with your colleagues
- to use the slides for your internal presentations
- or to simply browse through the main thoughts of the market study at a glance

What can a state do to solve national problems?
Just ask a Safer States partner. State by state, these health and environmental groups fight for—and win—solutions to the problems of our nation's flawed chemical policies. And through Safer States, they unite to show the nation the way to a cleaner, healthier economy that eliminates hazardous chemicals from everyday products.
States are leading the charge
State organizations are helping enact policy to protect people from harmful chemicals. Is your state one of them?
The chemical crisis is real
Of the 84,000 chemicals on the inventory with The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), only 200 have been required to undergo health and safety testing before going to market, and only 5 have been restricted under the act.
Beyond legislation
From standing up for safer products on store shelves to exposing the dirty tactics of the chemical industry, concerned citizens are finding ways to make their voices heard. And they're making sure toxics policies echo far beyond the halls of government, changing our daily lives for the better.
States have made great strides
states are considering toxic chemicals legislation right now.
bills have been adopted by states to ban toxic chemicals from products.
bills to regulate toxic chemicals were introduced in 2014.
Government Scientists Confirm: Phthalates are Dangerous
July 30, 2014
A new government report confirms that phthalates — chemicals in everything from rubber duckies to vindyl flooring — are dangerous. They recommend pulling certain phthalates off the shelf, and call for further study on the hazards of everyday exposure.Read More News

Two men have been taken into custody following a gas station robbery in Henderson Thursday night.
It happened just after 9 Thursday night at the Swifty's gas station on South Green Street.
Henderson Police say two men with covered faces robbed the station attendant at gunpoint and made away with cash.
That attendant, Channing Duval wasn't injured. We talked to Channing after the incident and he described what he went through.
"They pointed it directly at my head and told me to give them the money," he said. "I immediately did, not wanting to be shot. I'm still shaken. I had never had that happen before and I'd never think it would happen to me in a place like Henderson," said Channing.
Two suspects, Andrew Harris and Eddie Carbon, were taken into custody just down the road from the gas station minutes after the robbery was reported. They were taken to HPD headquarters for questioning.
Police say after questioning Harris and Carbon they were both arrested and charged with armed robbery.
The money was recovered.

BOSTON (AP) - Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is campaigning with Georgetown University law school student and women's advocate Sandra Fluke.
Fluke's fight for insurance access to contraception drew attention earlier this year when Republicans denied her a chance to testify at a Congressional hearing on the issue. Talk show host Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" when she spoke out, and he later apologized..
Warren and Republican Sen. Scott Brown have been running competing campaign ads over who's better on women's issues.
Warren's ad points to Brown's support of a proposed amendment that would have let employers deny coverage for birth control. Brown says the amendment would have protected Catholic employers. He has asserted his support for women's concerns.
Fluke and Warren will attend a "Women for Warren" coffee Tuesday morning Somerville.

For the fifth consecutive year, apparel prices declined in 2002, down 1.8 percent, after decreasing 3.2 percent in 2001. The declines occurred among all major apparel categories except for footwear.
Volumes of apparel sales and consumer confidence have declined during the past 3 years. Demand for apparel was especially low at department stores and specialty clothing stores. Discount clothing stores continued to show better sales results than full-price clothing stores.
These data are produced by the BLS Consumer Price Index program. For additional information on consumer price changes in 2002, see "Consumer prices up slightly more in 2002, led by energy and hospital services," by Todd Wilson, Monthly Labor Review, March 2003. Annual percent changes are December-to-December changes.

If your heart is warm with happiness, you'll need a glass of wine.
If sorrow chills your heart, have two.
After centuries of neglect, Avignon, "a provencial city" in France, is rediscovering its rich ecological heritage.
In the 14th century, Pope John XXII built a summer chateau in the hills above Avignon, and its ruins remain the most recognizable monument in the famed wine village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, today.
However, since the popes' return to Rome in the 15th century, the city has concentrated on other forms of culture. These days, it is most celebrated for its music, museums, history and theater festivals.
My fiancée, James and I, were visiting the Papal Palace in Avignon where we strolled through the immense building that the "exiled" Pope Clement V, began constructing at the beginning of the 14th century. As our tour proceeded, monastic (monastery) simplicity and austerity (strict teachings) give way to bright frescoes (hand painted) and flamboyant ceilings, signs of how the initial papal asceticism (strict practices) faded over time. As we headed toward the exit, we made time to stop at the palace's new wine shop, "The Boutellerie."
James knows a lot about American, Italian, German and French wines, but nothing of Rhone.
We're finally realizing that gastronomy and wine can be part of our cultural attractions, as well.
The Boutellerie, which opened in July 1999, is the premier sign of this renaissance. More than 40 winegrowers from the nearby vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas are represented. This shop occupies a grand setting, the former papal artillery room. A tasting of five wines is offered for just $5. Director Joachim Autard, a former winegrower, chatted with us and the other guests in English and French.
Outside the palace, Avignon is a lively, cosmopolitan town of about 100,000 people. A new, high-speed TGV train line, which travels at speeds more than 186 mph, provides frequent service from the city of light to the magnificent Mediterranean Sea.
Thick medieval walls, circle the old city. Pedestrians have free run of many lovingly maintained old squares, closed to traffic, but open to cafés, and in the center of town, a splendid double-decker carousel.
During the July and August theater festival, these squares explode with street productions of puppets and marionettes, dance, mime and cabaret, as well as serious, Broadway-caliber presentations.
Historic sites include: the Palace of the Popes, the Pont d'Avignon(Pont de St. Benezet), the opera, the Hotel de Ville, various churches and Cloitre St. Louis and the Rocher des Doms.
If you like the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., then you'll love these following museums: the Musee en Images (more than 1000 images of Avignon), Musee du Petit Palais (painting and sculpture from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance), Musee Calvet and the Musee Lapidaire (archeology, prehistoric times, paintings from the 16th to the 20th centuries).
Last, but not least, some activities to enjoy include theater, opera, galleries, horseback riding, tennis, squash, ice skating and boat rides on the Rhone River.
A visit to Avignon is a wonderful way to kick off a wine tour of this part of the Southern Rhone. From downtown, it takes just 20 minutes to drive north to Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
This picturesque village sits above the Rhone River, and the old castle is visible in the distance.
You'll find lots of shops owned by winegrowers there, most offering only their own production, often at inflated prices. An exception is Maison des Vins, located on the main street. It represents 60 different estates, and tastings are free.
We were one of those couples who didn't have the time to visit lots of different estates. We wanted to have a place where we could sample and buy a wide choice of Chateauneuf wines.
For visitors who had more time, the tourist office handed out clear maps with directions to the major estates, most of which were open to the public. Some, such as Chateau La Nerthe and Chateau Mont-Redon, don't require reservations.
A few of the most prestigious names, such as Chateau du Beaucastel and Chateau Rayas, do and are selective about who they welcome.
However, with so many others to see, this shouldn't dampen anyone's enthusiasm.
From Chateauneuf, it was only a short ride to the region's other leading wine village, Gigondas.
You will definitely need to budget some time to stroll the narrow, cobble stone streets of the villages. Rochegude offers views of vineyards and distant mountains.
Gigondas isn't the only lovely town on the eastern side of the Rhone River. From its left bank there fan out many delightful Provencial wine towns: Seguret, Cairanne, Rasteau, Vacqueyras and Rochegude.
They feature medieval castles and churches and sand- and rust-colored houses with tile roofs, surrounded by an ocean of vineyards growing on flat land and low hills.
In Grignan, in the Drome department, medieval streets run in circles around a massive castle that rises up on a hill. Stop by the Village Provencial Miniature, a re-creation of turn-of-the-century Provencial village life involving more than 1,000 little figures posed in vignettes (an un-bordered picture, often a portrait, that shades off into the surrounding color at the edges.)
In Coustellet, east of Avignon, there's an interesting museum devoted to lavender.
After a day of sightseeing and tasting, relax at one of the fine restaurants or hotels in the area, where tourists are made to feel welcome and comfortable wherever they go.
If you want to take a dip in a pool at sunset or dine at the edge of a vineyard, then this country is for you. Or, perhaps you would prefer to stay in Avignon, which pumps with energy by night as locals and tourists stroll the tree-lined streets and people-watch from dozens of outdoor cafés.
Once in Avignon, you won't want to leave, and the town is too interesting to let you go.
Avignon is full of history, life, youth, art, music and activity. This corner of the Rhone Valley is big, and there's something here for everyone.

Launch of UN-OSAA, OECD and NEPAD partnership
The African Union NEPAD Planning and Coordination Agency (AU-NPCA), the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (UN-OSAA) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have joined forces to improve international and regional co-operation for growth and development in Africa. As a first outcome of this partnership, the three institutions released on 11 October a joint study recommending further diversification of African economies.
According to the study titled, "Economic Diversification in Africa: A Review of Selected Countries", an enhanced diversification would reduce African economies' reliance on natural resource revenues and encourage sustainable growth in other strategic sectors such as telecommunications, agriculture and tourism.
The report looks at how Africa can boost its economic growth and development by investing greater national and regional efforts in business climate reform. The study also aims to improve recognition of the increasingly important contribution of Africa to global economic growth.
Also on the same day, the three international organizations released a series of policy briefs on Africa's foreign direct investment, infrastructure, debt, and aid.
The report and fact sheets are available below.
Economic Diversification in Africa: A Review of Selected Countries
Mr. Ibrahim Assane Mayaki, CEO of the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency, Mr. Eckhard Deutscher, Chair of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and Mr. Cheick Sidi Diarra, Under-Secretary-General, and UN Special Adviser on Africa discussed their partnership and shared their joint work at a briefing to UN Member States and other development partners at the UN Headquarters on Monday, 11 October.
Presentation on NEPAD by Dr. Mayaki
"The co-operation between these three organizations will contribute to renewed efforts to accelerate Africa's progress towards the Millennium Development Goals and reduce the continent's vulnerability to external shocks and food price instability", says Mr. Cheick Sidi Diarra.

Brookings Institution Press
September 30, 2014
Available September 30, 2014
The recession of 2007–09 was the most severe downturn in U.S. economic performance since the Great Depression. Such a huge problem triggered a huge response. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009—a.k.a.the Recovery Act or simply "the stimulus"—injected more than $800 billion into the moribund economy. Not surprisingly it remains hugely controversial, but the law is not well understood.
Crisis Federalism examines ARRA through the lens of fiscal federalism. The question of "who pays for what?" has bedeviled the nation for centuries. Tracy Gordon argues that the Recovery Act can teach us much about a proper balance of responsibilities among different levels of government. Subnational governments provide most of the public goods and services in America, so the federal government could not efficiently disburse funds for education, health, and welfare—areas targeted in the stimulus—without mobilizing lower levels of governments. Thus more than half of ARRA spending flowed through states, counties, cities, and towns.
The Recovery Act provides a possible template for future intergovernmental cooperation. By targeting aid to the most afflicted and requiring extensive oversight and reporting, ARRA may have helped overcome the moral hazard concerns regarding federal aid. Whereas other writers have focused on ARRA's impact on jobs or economic output, Gordon emphasizes the role of state and local governments in Crisis Federalism, bringing the discussion down to where Americans interact with their governments.

LAS VEGAS -- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is reporting fewer homeless people in Nevada.
However, according to the nonprofits that deal with homeless people everyday, there is no improvement.
HUD bases its report on information from housing and service provided to it every January. The number of homeless people in Nevada dropped from 10,500 in 2011 to just under 10,000 in 2012, according to HUD.
The leaders of local charities disagree with those numbers.
"We know first hand, because we see it everyday, that the demand for housing and the demand for services is going up," Veterans Village founder Arnold Stalk said.
Clark County Commissioner Lawrence Weekly says HUD's report is probably close to the mark and is encouraged by the sign of improvement. However, he says the county will take a more accurate census in January.
During that homeless count, volunteers will take to the streets and actually count as many homeless as they can find.

Eat Like a Lady on location in Carrboro, North Carolina
Milltown is my favorite restaurant in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, North Carolina. It's not that it has the best food in the area, but it was the first restaurant pre-New York, that I thought was just cool, offering up an extensive craft beer list with solid gastropub fare. One of the funniest things about returning though, is the fact that back in college I considered this place a splurge. The beers are pricey for North Carolina standards, though probably on par with New York prices; however, the most expensive food item on the menu is $14. You can't beat that. Though all the food on the menu is pretty great, I order the same dish every time: the Steak Frites. In this recent visit, however, it appears the recipe has changed; though I still think it's one of the highlights of the menu. Chapel Hill/Carrboro has a surprisingly good selection of restaurants, but Milltown has a laid-back cool factor that charms me every time.
Nachos: These were some good, standard nachos. They were covered in cheddar cheese, black beans, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream. I thought this was a great starter with some beers.
Mac n' Cheese: This mac n' cheese is freaking good and really addictive, and it's interesting because it comes with leeks and broccoli and you can add any number of toppings. This specific order included the works. There are tomatoes, onions and mushrooms along with smoked ham, bacon and chorizo. This was a thin cream-based cheese sauce that was really flavorful, and while it wasn't necessary to get all the toppings, I specifically liked the broccoli and chorizo combination most. This visit was the first time trying the mac n' cheese, and I definitely anticipate having it on the table in the future.
Tilapia Tostadas: This was pan-fried tilapia topped with grilled corn and poblano salsa, chile-lime crema, queso fresco, and fresh avocado all over fried corn tortillas, shredded romaine and Spanish rice. I loved the freshness and flavor going on here. The tilapia was cooked right and seasoned nicely and complemented the fresh avocado slices and salsa. This might have been my favorite order of the night.
Steak Frites: This is normally my go-to dish. But since they seem to have changed the recipe, I'm not as impressed. The old recipe had a not-so-heavy dark brown sauce with gorgonzola crumbles that would partially melt atop the hot steak. Now it's covered in a thick gravy-like sauce made from stilton cream, Belgian red ale and caramelized shallots. Though I really like the flavor and the onions in this, it just wasn't as unique and sophisticated as the previous recipe. What I do like though, which was also done in the preceding version, is that the steak is cut up and covered in the sauce and placed over the fries. A lot of times steak frites is steak and fries, and here the experience most certainly comes together. Even the side salad wasn't as good. It now has nuts and berries, which to me just interferes with the simplicity of what it once was. It also doesn't help that my fries were cold and the dish was room temperature once served. Though a disappointment on this trip, I'll probably still end up ordering it next time. I think no matter what, this will always be my Milltown dish.
Prime Rib: House roasted prime rib on a baguette with caramelized onions, gruyere, roasted garlic aioli and a cup of beef-mushroom jus. This dish is great. The bread is fresh, the prime rib is flavorful and cut thin, it's covered in cheese and the side jus just brings it all together. This is a great option if that's what you're into.
Pesto Goat Cheese Pasta: This was a pasta dish on the specials. The pesto was tasty and the goat cheese was nice, but there was nothing particularly special or mind-blowing about the dish. I think the other dishes were better choices.
Milltown: 307 E Main St Carrboro, NC ($-$$)
Don Antonio, a Neapolitan pizza locale located in Hell's Kitchen, is the creation of Kesté's Robert Caporuscio and his old mentor Antonio Starita, the owner of one of Naples' oldest pizza places. The atmosphere in Don Antonio is really vibrant, and with a bar at the front, it is far more livelier than its West Village sister restaurant Kesté (previously reviewed). Though both need to be kept in the pizza rolodex, there are far more pizza options at Don Antonio, and most specifically they offer up the Antonio Starita Specialty the Montanara (Neapolitan fried pizza), which is the pizza that is not to be missed here! Though I'd probably say Kesté wins out with a slightly more flavorful hot crust, and maybe even slightly fresher ingredients, there are certain pizzas that you can only get at Don Antonio. Plus the openness of the kitchen, as well as friendly manager and staff, give Don Antonio the edge in ambiance.
Pistacchio E Salsiccia: With fresh pistachio pesto, sausage, homemade mozzarella, pecorino romano, basil and extra virgin olive oil, it is one of the most unique pizzas I've ever tried, and I loved it. The pesto has such a great nutty flavor and everything comes together to make for a flavor combination that is spot-on.
Burrata Roberto: This pizza is like the one at Kesté that I'm obsessed with. It is topped with homemade burrata, grape tomatoes, basil and extra virgin olive oil. While I'd probably think it was awesome, had I never tried the one at Kesté, this was our least favorite pizza of the three. It was good, but the one at Kesté is just better. It just didn't give me the same "OMG this is the best thing I've ever had in my mouth" moment.
Antonio Starita's Specialty: This is the Montanara (Neapolitan fried pizza). It is lightly fried pizza dough topped with signature starita tomato sauce and imported smoked buffalo mozzarella finished in their wood burning oven. This is one of the greatest creations ever. Think of it as the original Pizza Hut pan pizza—not as greasy with fresh cheese and all the fried goodness. This is the pizza you want to make sure is on the table. SO GOOD!
Don Antonio: 309 W 50th Street New York, NY ($$)
