Kuleto's; Villa Florence Hotel; 221 Powell; 397-7720. This is a happy, noisy Union Square standby. This handsome trattoria/wine bar is a welcome port for tourists, theatergoers, tired shoppers at Macy's across the street. All delight in the dependable al forno Italian eats. An aging Troy Donahue look-alike, Kent, and I got a table in front of the exhibition-style kitchen, which is great to watch, especially if your perch is at the excellent bar among the buzzy crowd. Here's what I would recommend:
Baked eggplant filled with herbed ricotta, fresh mozzarella, spicy marinara (9.50)
Bloomsdale spinach, goat cheese, roasted peppers, mushrooms, pine nuts, sherry pancetta dressing (9.00)
Braised halibut cheeks, potatoes, pea sprouts, tomatoes, capers, white wine (26.00)
Roasted Sonoma duck, white polenta, rapini, honey grappa apricot conserva.
Steve Martin on David Letterman 8/8/07. He will publish a memoir in December on stand-up and showed a clip of him writing it. David: How are you? That's a very forward question. Any thoughts on turning 60? Upon turning 60, i realized all my long-term goals are not short-term. 80-year-old sophisticated woman who's had a lot of heart operations said, in a posh voice, WELL FINALLY, WE DO BECOME WISE BUT IT'S TOO LATE. Steve was hosting National Book Awards and was to give an award to Arthur Miller. He told this joke: I'D LIKE TO OPEN NIGHT WITH A RIDDLE. NAME A PLAYWRIGHT ON THIS LIST THAT DOES NOT BELONG: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, EDWARD ALBEE, TENNESSE WILLIAMS, ARTHUR MILLER, STEVE MARTIN. ANSWER: ARTHUR MILLER: NAME 1 PERSON WHO SLEPT WITH MARILYN MONROE.
