From Brooklyn’s sizzling restaurant scene comes one of the hottest cookbooks of the season. Everyone flocks to Frankies Spuntino—a tin-ceilinged, brick-walled restaurant in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens. The two Franks, both veterans of gourmet kitchens, have created a menu filled with Italian American comfort food. This witty cookbook, with its gilded edges and embossed cover, may look old-fashioned, but the recipes are scrumptious. The ticket price includes the meal, wine, coffee, tax, tip & a signed copy of the author’s book.

Sir Michael Caine talks about his memoir The Elephant to Hollywood. When he was in his late fifties, Caine believed his glamorous, rags-to-riches Hollywood career had come to an end. The scripts being sent his way were worse and worse.When he called the producer to complain about one part, the producer said, “No, no, we don’t want you for the lover, we want you for the father.” Salvation came in the unlikely form of his old friend Jack Nicholson, who convinced him to give acting one more shot. What followed was not only an incredible personal transformation but also one of the most radical comebacks in film history. Caine brings his gift for storytelling to a tale that is funny, warm, and deeply honest.
