Italian Days

Italian Days on Commercial Drive, the first since June 2019.  I was there on Sunday, a half-hour after it opened, and it was packed from Broadway to Venables. As in past years, I moved through about three thousand people, none of whom I recognized. 


The couple above are dancing a tarantella, and that was the Italian Days I remember from the 1980s, when the dine and dance clubs ruled, even though nobody went to them. Wazubee, like Monsoon on Main Street a few years later, marked a "changing of the shops" when it took over an old dine and dance outfit in the block north of 1st Avenue, switching from martinis and Salisbury steak to coffee and french fries. The couple below are a mother (left) and her daughter (right) seconds before the latter made her signing debut. Brava! Brava!
