Crispy and deliciously burnt crust combined with amazing tomato sauce. Tony’s Place in Mayfair is absolutely incredible. I could see myself going here at least once a month.
Tony’s has a significant role in my family history. Glad to see you’ve made it to Mayfair.
Inside Baghdad, via South Philly
A couple of days ago, when tensions with Turkey and promises to rein in private contractors filled the headlines from Iraq, Brian Conley was on the phone to his correspondent, wondering how that piece on nightlife in Baghdad was going.From his crowded office in a South Philadelphia rowhouse, the editor of Small World News probed cub reporter Omar Abdullah, a 23-year-old Palestinian Iraqi who had learned English from Metallica songs.
“In the ’70s, it was a very Western place,” Conley says of the Iraqi capital. “Now most of the liquor stores have been bombed or closed by threats.”
Not surprisingly, Abdullah was having trouble getting good footage of the club scene.
Real life itself is what Conley and colleague Steven Wyshywaniuk are going for each week for their Web-based Alive in Baghdad reports.
