The Romeo group had a great lunch today at the New Bridge Café in Chelsea, which is highly rated by the Phantom Gourmet. Our special guest was Mary Corcoran who now resides at the Lighthouse Nursing Care Center in Revere and just celebrated her 82nd birthday (see Mary’s address below). She was accompanied by her aid Penny M. and on behalf of the group, Joe Pignatiello gave Mary a bouquet of flowers.

As always, the conversation was tops and ran the gamete from high gas prices to crashed computers. In addition, Joe P. told us a story of a ski trip he made to Italy in the 1980’s where he spent some time in the local jail. The local police made a derogatory remark at Joe’s group. Joe understanding Italian, replied back “Stupido”. The police beat him and threw him in the clink. It took the US Consulate to give Joe a “Get Out Of Jail Card” before he was able to rejoin his group. However, all was not lost since he ate like a king when his cell mate’s wife brought a full course meal each day.
The menu choices at the New Bridge were steak tips, pork, lamb and baby back ribs as well as Italian fare and sandwiches. The meal was just delicious and the service was outstanding. Prices were very reasonable and it would be worth a second trip back someday soon. However, no dessert or coffee is served although there is a well stocked bar.
The Romeo’s in attendance were Jim Terlizzi, Joe Pignatiello, Joe Balsama, Joe LoDuca, Joe Lapiana, Steve Winter, Ed DeSchuytner, Paul Girard and Mark Ryan. Jim Sicuso also stopped by to wish Mary well. A picture of Mary and Joe B. is above. Other pictures can be seen on the Picasa website. http://picasaweb.google.com/markryan312/RomeoLunch52108
