I went to high school with his daughter. And ya know? She was a bitch. Lupo's are my favorites. The real secret to the perfect spiedie is the bread. Don't be givin me no spiedie's on no sub roll. Grammar aside, there are only two bakeries (both local) that make the bread the right consistency. They are Felix Roma and Dirienzo's. The bread has to be made a little tougher to hold together as you yank the spiedies off the skewer cause they tend to cook on there pretty stubbornly. As to the charms in the city itself I don't find much anymore except two and they are only a block away from each other. One is the cullpola in Rec Park, it was featured in a Twilight Zone episode as the center of the universe. The other is on Laurel Ave but only in the summer times. On the west side of the street is a house with a nice little terraced garden next to their driveway. No big deal, except, there aren't flowers planted in this garden, but rather every sort of kitchen utensil a person can imagine. In the last several years they have begun painting them all a uniform color except for around the tree at the top which is reserved for just forks, spoons, and knives but in different colors. I'll take some pictures once its been set up for the summer, should be in the next couple of weeks.
