It was at one time, EHI. But that place is really run down today. I was there for a wake less than a month ago. It's the location. Westchester Avenue just doesn't have many Italians left. And the Italians in neighboring Pelham Bay usually use Giordano's or even McNulty's. McNultys! An Irish place! You've been in Florida too long .

But you're spot on about Ralphie. He's a dynamite kid. Almost too nice to succeed in that life. Although I'm given to understand that he's petrified of getting a call from Pelham when he comes home .
