Men in kilts
To paraphrase ZZ Top’s 80s hit, every guy is crazy about a sharp dressed man. My guess is that only a few of you may know the song I’m referring to but you’re likely to agree with the sentiments based on the example above.

Restaurant review: Tavola in Hell’s Kitchen
Back in the fall of 2013 I first visited Tavola, and I enjoyed myself so much that I wrote a restaurant review. I’ve since visited Tavola a handful of times but not recently so on my last visit to New York City I opted to grab dinner there.
Tavola markets itself as an authentic Neopolitan pizzeria and pasta restaurant that operates in a space that was previously an Italian grocery store on 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. This restaurant is not fancy but it is cozy and cool and may be my favorite place to eat pizza in New York City. On this visit I started with a Caesar salad, which is large enough to share (but I ate all on my own).
Tavola’s large Caesar Salad is $9.75
The friendly bar staff brought the pizza right from their massive wood burning oven so I had to let it cool for a minute or two before I could eat it. I had ordered Tavola’s Margherita pizza. While I do enjoy a pizza with different toppings, my absolute favorite is a Margherita pizza. I love the combination of the cheese, sauce and dough.
Tavola’s Magherita Pizza might be the best I’ve ever had and it only costs $14.75
Despite my best intentions to get a photo before diving in, my obsession with their pizza got the better of me and it was only after I had a slice in one hand and a beer in the other that I realized I had yet to take a photo so that is why you see a missing slice, which in my mind makes it look like a Pac-Man pizza. Needless to say, Tavola still makes a killer pizza and the informal, neighborhood-like atmosphere and approachable prices for dinner make this place a personal favorite in Hell’s Kitchen.
BosGuy Rating: 5 out of 5 stars, Wicked Awesome.

World Naked Bike Ride Boston
Saturday night temperatures in Boston will be in the low 70s and dry (if you believe our local forecast). If you happen to be out and about you may end up seeing a bunch of naked bicyclists who will be participating in the World Naked Bikc Ride, while this event has been happening around the world since 2004, Boston joined in on the fun back in 2010 and interest and participation continues to grow with each year.
Participants are asked to meet in Jamaica Plain at 6PM for pre-ride revelry. The ride is scheduled to begin at 8PM and will conclude at Midnight in Cambridge. If you are interested, check out the link I shared above or visit the World Naked Bike Ride – Boston Facebook Page for details.
If you decide to participate, let me know how it goes and feel free to send me a photo or two of the ride. 😉
Furry Friday
I had a request come in recently asking me to post photos of “Men”. I think what they meant was guys who might actually remember the 1970s and 1980s. Growing older definitely has some drawbacks but this guy makes it look easy.
