restaurant VIEWS-That’s Amore! Da Noi Restaurant serves Divine Italian Cuisine in a Romantic, Elegant Atmosphere

By Sally Deering

River View Observer’s restaurant VIEWS Pick for October 24th to November 11th DA NOI Restaurant

Da Noi Restaurant in Bayonne

 “Da Noi” means “by us” or “from us” in Italian and it’s also the name of a romantic and elegant restaurant in Bayonne where you will enjoy fine Italian dishes that are like “amore” on a plate!

I heard Chef Gordon Ramsey say on one of his TV shows recently that New Jersey is known for its Italian restaurants and after years of dining Italiano in my home state, this Jersey girl knows by now that some of those places serve pizza and spaghetti and call it Italian cuisine.  But if you want to taste the real deal, Italian dishes that are made to order by an excellent chef, in a warm and romantic setting, then run, don’t walk, to Da Noi Restaurant in Bayonne.

Where did Lego Man Come from-8ft Statue Washes Up on Florida Beach

DO YOU KNOW ME ?

River View Observer’s “Site Seeing” Bringing you interesting posts from around the web!

Bobbing gently in ankle-deep surf at a beach in Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida an 8 foot tall statue of Lego Man has stirred quite a mystery, having Siesta Beach authorities and local residents  askining where did it originate from, and how did it get in the water?

Resembling the little plastic figures that come with a child’s Lego set this mamouth piece is thought to be the brain- child of a dutch artist. And it is becoming to sound more and more as an art experiement because Lego Man has been popping up on various  shore lines since 2007 .

The words “NO REAL THAN YOU ARE” are written on the front of  his shirt and on the back of his shirt the name Ego  Leonard, who by the way has his own website. Until someone comes forward to claim Lego Man in Florida he will remain in the custody of the local Sherrief’s property shop.

If you want to find out more about Lego Man and visit Ego Leonard’s website click the link provided below.
