The annual Taste of the World was a big success at Citi Field this week. The Queens Economic Development Corporation folks outdid themselves bringing together a big, boisterous crowds of eaters, Mr. Met, and the Mayor himself.
The Marriott's Steinway Restaurant once again took top honors. The new to me,
Bantry Bay Pub of Long Island City won for Best Appetizer, and get my props for coming out of LIC's 's little Blissville neighborhood.
Dessert was won by Cascon Bakery of Whitestone, who put out the big spread of excellent cakes, cookies, and more sweets. My vote went to the Francis Lewis Pastry Shoppe and its tiramisu.
La Fusta, Argentine restaurant in Elmhurst, always makes me happy. This time they surprised me with a delicious watercress salad.
Ovelia, a Greek place in Astoria, served slices of excellent marinated skirt steak.
P.S. It was neat to see Citi Field up close, but the brick sort of reminds me of a McMansion...

Flushing Meadow Park and Professor Dabby.This guy is very funny and witty, he walked around today uncripted and entertains everybody. It’s hard to explain but itw as great. I have been in comedy for 37 years and I must say Professor Dabby remines me of Don Rickles. He’s that good!!
Thursday October 1, 2009….A big Queens event, held at Towers on the Green in Floral Park to celebrate the new QPTV, Professor Dabby TV Show. Over 200 invited guests attended with Professor Dabby and the entire staff of The 4Laughs Entertainment company. The 4Laughs Comedy group was very funny and had us laughing all night. We were all surrounded by mint green and blue balloons that The Aaron 718 BALLOON company provided.. The food at Towers On The Green at North Shore Towers was absolutely amazing..A great place to have a party. Thank you Professor Dabby “The Comic Mingler”, for a wonderful evening.

Dinner at Ginos Trattoria on 35th avenue in Bayside, Queens ended with a singing telegram from this nutty madman.
Professor Dabby entered our private dining area and started to sing my favorite song, my way. I am a 77 year old man and I thought I have seen it all, I was wrong. This was the highlight of my evening. Professor Dabby Singing Grams, no words can describe this guy.

Professor Dabby played at my sons party at CitiField two weeks ago. He was very entertaining and I would alway say it is OK to have Dabby at a party. Call his manager at 718.MY.DABBY, a Job very well done.
