May was a busy month for sure. I did a few dinner events discussing the making of The Godfather film which was a couple of great nights of food and conversation - one at Pas-Tina's in Westchester and the other night at Calandra's Italian Village in Caldwell, NJ. I went to the 2022 Black N Blue Bowl in Brooklyn and had a killer lunch with Mackie Jayson at Anthony and Son Panini Shoppe in Williamsburg. I also did The ArmChair MBA Podcast with Tom LaVecchia discussing the Colombo book and some of the behind the scenes Godfather Film stories. And for some R&R I took a trip up into the Catskills to visit my good friend Pete. Took some time to explore some of the old hotels in the Borscht Belt and did some hiking up at Lake Minnewaska.
