From the Restaurant That Frank Sinatra Made
Famous
Of the thousands of restaurants in New
York City, very few withstand the tests of time--and only one
can lay claim to being Frank Sinatra's favorite. And where
Frank went, his friends followed--from close pals such as
Tony Bennett and fellow Rat Packers Dean Martin and Sammy
Davis Jr. to the show-biz colleagues they brought in.
Established nearly sixty years ago, Patsy's has long
been a celebrity favorite and a New York institution. Why?
Great food, family friendliness, and a welcoming atmosphere
that makes you feel like you've come home. And the fare is
the classic southern Italian cuisine that's become America's
comfort food: Mussels Arreganata, Fettuccine Alfredo,
Rigatoni Sorrentino, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Marsala,
Shrimp Scampi, Tiramisu... a greatest hits of
Neapolitan-influenced dishes.
And Patsy's
Cookbook provides more than recipes: also in the mix are
anecdotes from family and friends, including the occasion
when Pablo Picasso tried to give Patsy a painting; the time
that the restaurant opened on Thanksgiving Day just for
Frank Sinatra; Aunt Anna's rather unorthodox autograph
request of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs; and the story of the roast
suckling pig delivered to Jackie Gleason's hotel suite.
Here is a remarkable collection of 100 perfectly
executed, delicious recipes, heartwarming stories of a
successful family business, and entertaining celebrity
tales, capturing the full experience of a New York City
institution. Patsy's Cookbook is an invitation to
join the extended family that's proud to call Patsy's their
second home.
