Steve and I ate at Scarpetta's. We strolled to our restaurant about 18 blocks away. It sounds long but not really a bad walk. The weather was great and the people watching was better. On our way there was a news truck and photo shoot outside a restaurant on the way. We gaulked like the rest of the world but never saw anything. The rest of the walk was uneventful. The first course was a fried mix: vegetables, calamari, shrimp, fish, and all kinds of tasty morsels. It had no dipping sauce but did not need it. The batter was so favorful. Steve dish was veal wrapped in procuitto. It was tender and I wished I ordered it. I ordered the homemade pasta with shaved black truffles. My dish was not to shabby. I had never had truffles. These were pretty good. I am told the white ones are better. I will see in Italy. They will be in season and I am one hour away from where they grow. 
The wine was very nice. Steve wants to order Italian so we can learn. He is not as fond of Italian Wines as I am. This choice was perfect. A very romantic evening and a taxi ride back to my apartment.
I will post some small blogs to get caught up on my pictures. The pictures are the best part.
