It’s Ferragosto, one of the major Italian holidays.
The city has pretty much cleared out except for tourists and people who work with tourists.
One tradition I fully support is the Ferragosto lunch. This year my pal Erica and I made a decision to Treat. Our. Selves. and have a proper lunch at one of our neighborhood places Pierluigi.
Catalana Salad with Shrimp
Sauteed Clams
Unfortunately, it was so outrageously hot, we sat inside.
We also sat next to rapper/singer Frank Ocean, which was absolutely one of my a lot more random celebrity sightings.
It is NOT a holiday in the States. I had to work today and have a conference call tonight (the L.A. time difference can be a killer sometimes).
That said, meeting a good pal for a delicious lunch is a terrific thing.
Buon Ferragosto a tutti!
