“These photographs were taken during the month of March in 2009 during Morrissey’s Year Of Refusal Tour. The pages of this book include images from his performances at The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, New Jersey, in New York City at The Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall, and Carnegie Hall, and at the Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. I also made it to Buffalo, New York for his show at The University at Buffalo’s Center for the Arts but I ended up drinking a bit much and I basically blacked out for that one.

Not content with merely being named the best pizza in Lower Manhattan by the 5 Boro Pizza Tour, L’asso has installed a head chef, Daniel Riviera, in its basement kitchen with the aim of introducing a menu that goes beyond pies and pasta. Riviera — who is Puerto Rican — has been bumping around kitchens in New York and New Jersey since graduating from the New York Art Institute with a degree in culinary arts. A month into his tenure, he’s added one dish to the dinner menu: a skirt steak marinated in primitivo, then grilled and topped with a chimichurri sauce. For $15, it’s served with an arugula salad of shaved Parmesan and aged balsamic. By December, there’ll be five more entrées, including a fish dish and a linguine with littleneck clams, as well as an expanded brunch menu. L’asso isn’t really hurting for customers, but this should help it hold its own against a trio of ambitious newcomers in its immediate vicinity — the Mott, Civetta, and Travertine.
