Tea for Two (song)
Was getting my Veranda Blonde Roast coffee at Starbucks when I heard another nice jazzy song :D
Didn't know who it was...caught parts of the lyrics, googled,...and found:-
Tea for Two - by Doris Day
The name Doris Day sounds vaguely familiar but I don't remember who...
Found this video of Doris Day singing the song
It's one of those cheesy 1950s 1960s Marilyn Monroe movies that I used to like...but I refuse to find out exactly which movie the song's from. Because I have other more serious (and boring but important) things to do than to be drawn to some corny movies (like tax returns...it's tax season right now).
Then,...guess what! I found the Ella Fitzgerald version LD:D I like the Doris Day version, but I've always liked Ella Fitzgerald since I heard her songs back in 2012
And then there's the Nat King Cole version...well, he's also one of my fav singers....so it's hard to choose my fav version of the song, & I'll just post all 3
Wait...am just listeing to the Nat King Cole version right now...I have to say that I don't like the piano part (without any singing) , so, I like video 1 &2 above

Milano Bakery (New York Meneghina) - Milan, Italy
Was planning to go to a cafe/restaurant called Milano Bakery but arriving, found that the restaurant name has been changed to "New York Meneghina".
First thought was, "wtf...I didn't fly from NY to try NY food", but fortunately the food turned out to be very Italian (with a modern twist)...and I loved the mini tiramisu & pistachio cannolis - the best dessert on this trip :D
The deco, menu, ambience...is very "New York"
We like the "living" flower wall
Had to have coffee, of course :D
The coffee in Italy's really good, but the variety is limited to "dark roast" (espresso) beans, and for black coffee lovers like me, you only get to choose between espresso and Americano.
Even the Americano aren't really Americano...most cafes/restaurants basically just give you a cup of espresso and a cup of water to dilute your espresso if you order Americano
