Bravissimo Sopra Mare

A few years ago Mike Mullen started a contest on this forum to name the villa he was building on St. John. He asked for an Italian name; and offered a free week at his brand new villa to the winner. Needless to say, the response was overwhelming. Then for whatever reason the contest was banned and p...

linne, With all due respect, why do you feel that it is important for my country to send a "signal" to the rest of the world? We happen to be the most free and generous country in the world. To vote for Obama because he is black, merely to prove something to other nations is beyond ridicul...

Mary Beth,

I agree with martini girl.....Matchbox is a great place to eat.

Another "must do" whenever we visit is Belga Cage. I'm drooling just thinking about the mussels and pomme frites...yum....also love the many different beers offered.

Hey MB, It is a decent hotel and for a good rate on Priceline, you can't go wrong. It is in a very convenient location. We usually eat breakfast in their restaurant and we have ordered room service....not bad for either. There are so many restaurants in that area; we always ventured out for meals......

Hi Mary Beth, We have stayed at that Hyatt several times.....our son & family live five blocks over from the Capitol. For burgers I remember going to Capitol City Brewing Co. Charlie Palmer's Steakhouse may have burgers on their lunch and bar menu, also good for a nice dinner. I like Johnny's Ha...

Bart,

I agree with all the above.

What is the name of your villa and where is it located? You must be very excited.
Congratulations!

Tiger Prof.

Just noticed we are from our neck of the woods and wanted to say "Hey, neighbor!" We live in Webster on the shores of Lake Ontario.

My husband graduated from RIT with an EE degree many, many moons ago.

Hope you have a safe and fun trip. :D
