64 Things Restaurant Patrons Must NEVER Do
The GOP is trying to stop its guests and delegates from really getting to know NY during the upcoming convention by taking down the Top 10 lists of restaurants, cheap things to do, and museums submitted by politicians like Mayor Bloomberg, former Mayor Giuliani and Governor Pataki off the GOPNY2004 website. Why? The NY Times offers that Giuliani's Top 10 list of restaurants was "too spicy" as it had been mentioned earlier in the trial of mobster Joseph Massino that Giuliani's pick, Da Nico, was a hangout for mobsters. Hey, if the point of the convention is for out-of-towners to see how the city works, Gothamist thinks few things could be truer than seeing mobsters doing their thing. The convention committee claims the top ten lists were taken down for "space reasons." HA! It was what, five pages at most, and not that graphics heavy. Gothamist knows a few information architects and web technologists who could probably help them with their "space" issues. Dude, though there's talk of Giuliani running for President in 2008 (as he was asked this morning), it's not happening when the GOP is acting like this.
Perhaps a more compelling reason as to why Giuliani's list was taken down might be the various health code violations at the restaurants, noted by the Village Voice [via Curbed]. As for Da Nico, Gothamist has never been but now we have all the more reason to go.

If there's one crisis of unimaginable magnitude that faces the web, it's the lack of space. Where are all the new web pages going to go? The web pages of tomorrow? We must tear down the decaying slums of old web pages choked with ancient HTML in order to make space for new, fresh, brighter pages. The GOP is so on top of a mission of reform where it counts, yet again.
It's been a couple of years since I last went to Da Nico, but as I recall, it's very good.
And my waiter was the most beautiful young Italian man I'd ever seen, which made it even better.
Da Nico has quality pizza. Quality pizza. Although at certain hours they don't make regular sized pies but only personal ones (and that makes the pizza eating experience that much less enjoyable).
I would think the Republicans would feel perfectly comfortable around the mobsters. They're mobsters themselves, except with less interesting suits.
