However, Mike's has this Argentinian cheese that is out of this world. And then there's Randazzo's for seafood, Egidio's for pastry and ices (or DeLillo's which is also a great bakery), Borgatti's for pasta, and Addeo's for bread. We also can't forget Vincent's for meat. Now I'm dying for a trip down there!

The next time I do a special order I will check out both places.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
