Happy Birthday

To my old best friend, The Concierge. Hard to believe but he and I have pretty much been friends our entire lives. Famously, I attended his Bar Mitzvah and have the shirt to prove it (somewhere). Whether he's fishing or eating braised short ribs, he is always a good source of material for this blog, even though he refused to follow up on my Ask the Concierge column idea. And no, I didn't mean aficionado. Also, I'm a few minutes later with this post, his birthday is July 8th.
