Day 3.2: John's of 12th Street Redux

I wasn't going to post again about John's of 12th Street, since I already covered it recently, but I just have to make a few comments. Again, the food was awesome and the service was great, up until the end when we had to wait a bit for the check.

This time, though, we got to sit right next to the candle! Last time, we didn't even go in the candle room. I'd forgotten all about it (even with a card on the table about "the candle") and thought it was a wedding cake. This time, we couldn't have gotten any closer.

We also tried their other specialty, the veal meatballs, which were delicious. Our John had their other specialty, the Tuscan Ragu, which I had last time. Marsha's favorite was again the tiramisu, which is more like a pudding.

Everything was just terrific. But the best part for me is always the location itself. Real-life mobsters like Joe "the Boss" Masseria actually ate there, which is why both The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire have filmed there. Boardwalk now twice. I just spotted it again in another recent episode. Can't miss that candle. I also love that they've embraced their heritage with the Mob and Prohibition.

I had to go to the bathroom this time to see if there was a gun hidden behind the toilet. There wasn't, but that didn't stop me from coming out with a finger gun anyway to take out Salozzo and Captain McClusky.
