John Leguizamo’s Historial Mission

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

F

or his latest one-man show, Latin History for Morons, Emmy Award-winner John Leguizamo takes on the role of a professor as he presents the buried and forgotten history of Hispanics in the Americas, while helping his son find a Latin hero for his son’s school project. In 95 minutes, Leguizamo rips through 3,000 years of history from the Mayans to Pitbull while pointing out that, “You read all these history books as a kid, see all these movies about the Civil War and the American Revolution, and Latin people are never, ever mentioned.” The following are three of the main books the Queens native used during the decade of historical research he’d done leading up to this show.

A People’s History of the United States: 1492-Present by Howard Zinn (1980) “It’s one of the most comprehensive, detailed and researched of all these [history] books. You can tell he did massive research to come up with these details.

And just all the numbers and facts about what happened to the Tainos and the Arawaks and the abuses that I just didn’t read anywhere else.”

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano (1973) “He obviously read the same texts [as Zinn], but he did more and traveled all across Latin America and talked to people. His point of view starts with the basics of our history, but there are a lot of details that I didn’t know at all. Facts like the amount of gold that was taken from us, which was 500,000 pounds and twice as much silver was taken. Although Spain was funding all the empires through our gold, they were going bankrupt for some weird reason.

So they wanted more gold but at the same time, they needed to crush us so they didn’t have to pay us; they could just take our gold. It was a really exploitative and abusive relationship that put Latin America in a hole.”

The Florentine Codex: General History of the Things of New Spain by Bernadinho de Sahagún (1576) “I love reading Father Sahagún and Bartolomé de las Casas and the other friars in the 1500s and 1600s. Nobody was reading those books because they annotated how [the Spaniards] tortured the Native American people like the Aztecs, the remaining Mayans, Incas and all the other tribes.

I love [Sahagún’s] seventh book, which is all the sayings, mythology and aphorisms of the Aztec people. So he wrote it all down. I love that one because it all comes from the literature.

I don’t have it in front of me but it’s either the sixth or seventh book. It’s the one that has all the sayings.”

While Griffin’s progressive viewpoints may be more indicative of urbanites living on both coasts, she’s toured enough around the country to say, “I am going to the real America.

Fox News ain’t got nothing on me.”

Her biggest observation she’s gleaned over time, particularly during these times of unfettered social media and a voracious 24-7 news cycle, is how well-informed Americans are across the board. Which makes for comic dates that present a fun challenge.

“What I really love about touring is that every city is different and every market has a different vibe. What I’m finding on this tour—every city that I go to, you never know what sort of political bomb just fell on them. There is always something going on that truly touches everyday Americans,” Griffin said. “It’s fascinating how all these senators are becoming these everyday celebrities.

On The Way-Back Machine With John Leguizamo

New one-man show reexamines Latinos’ role in history

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

John Leguizamo’s theatrical career has been driven by a series of one-man shows that have served as a therapy session with his audiences due to his drawing from his personal life for material. It’s no difference with his latest project, Latin History for Morons, which is being performed at Manhattan’s Public Theater. The seed was planted at a time when his now 16-year-old son was being bullied at school about being Hispanic and began working on a social studies project that had him put the spotlight on a historical hero. Leguizamo, a self-professed ghetto geek with a longtime love of history, suggested using someone of Latino heritage. Having immersed himself in research for the past decade or so for kicks, the Colombian native was well aware of the short shrift Latinos have gotten over time in terms of overall historical contributions.

Thus, a one-man show was born.

“I started doing it at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in the Playwright’s Lab, because I’d done Ghetto Klown there and I really enjoyed working with Tony Taccone as the artistic director,” Leguizamo recalled. “He asked what I had and I had this little piece that I had written a couple of notes on.

It was sort of Latin history being told to my son because of his issues that he was having at school. I did 20 minutes of it and the audience gave a lot of great feedback and I saw the viability of it. I thought they could dig this as a lesson from my son and myself on Latin history and our contributions to this country.”

Leguizamo’s current show was four years in the making and involved him workshopping and tweaking the show at Berkeley and the La Jolla Playhouse before coming to the Public Theater.

Given the current climate in the country and the fact that the Census Bureau is predicting that Hispanics are projected to make up 30 percent of the U.S. population by 2050, Leguizamo

feels, “[This is a time where people need to be educated] across the board.” And while his academic discoveries gave him plenty of fodder to draw from, the challenge was maintaining a balance between the show being informative and entertaining.

“The tricky part, man, is the weaving of the history with the personal life and how to maximize humor out of that. It’s hard to make history funny. You have to know what you’re talking about so people can laugh,” he explained. “This one-man show has lots of information and weighing it sometimes, I erred too much on too much information or too little. I went back and forth and now I think I’m at a place where I’m happy with the amount of information. I’m still work-shopping it. I cut out a lot of funny bits this last week, but now I have to come up with new bits for the material that stayed.”

Winston Churchill was famously quoted as saying that, “History is written by the victors,” and it’s a realization that Leguizamo had time and time again, particularly when it came down to the sacrifices Latinos have made in times of war. It all wound up being quite an eye-opening experience for him, adding to how relevant Latin History for Morons winds up being. “[I was shocked to] read and find out that 10,000 unknown Latino patriots fought in the Revolutionary War and 20,000 fought in the Civil War,” Leguizamo said.

“You see all these people that are decorated—the first admiral in the Civil War was a Latin guy.

We’ve sacrificed more than any other ethnic group or minority for this country. It’s bizarre. More than 400,000 Latin people fought in World War II and most of them were Puerto Rican and MexicanAmericans—huge numbers. You then ask why we’re constantly getting dissed and why aren’t we getting constantly celebrated?”

Holocaust Remembrance Day

BY CHRISTINA CLAUS cclaus@antonmediagroup.com

Holocaust Remembrance Day or Yom HaShoah in Hebrew commemorates the lives of the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust.

Those who perished are remembered beginning at sundown on April 23 to the evening of April 24, eight days before Israeli Independence Day and 13 days after the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

To commemorate the lives lost, most Jewish communities will hold a remembrance ceremony or light candles while reciting the prayer for the departed, the Kaddish. The day may be observed in the synagogue, a communal vigil or with an educational program. Some communities or schools will read the names of Holocaust victims one after another throughout the day.

In Israel, Yom HaShoah begins at sundown with a ceremony in Warsaw Ghetto Square where the President and the Prime Minister deliver speeches and Holocaust survivors light six torches to symbolize the six million Jews who were killed.

On April 24, an air raid siren will sound at 10 a.m. throughout the country and Israelis are expected to observe two minutes of silent reflection.

To remember all of the lives that perished during the Holocaust, the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County will hold its first annual Walk the Talk, Never Again 5K walk on April 23. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. while

Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center, Glen Cove the walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. All proceeds will support the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center, which is located at 100 Crescent Beach Rd. in Glen Cove. For more information visit www. hmtcli.org/walk or call 516-571-8040.

Anton publisher speaks at Post journalism awards

BY CHRIS BOYLE editorial@antonmediagroup.com

LIU Post recently held its annual event honoring the upper echelon of student journalism—the Best of High School Journalism Awards—where Long Island’s next generation of hardboiled reporters were given their due for their biting editorials and hard-hitting features over the past school year.

After tours of the campus and lunch, students from across Long Island packed into LIU Post’s Hillwood Lecture Hall for an awards presentation. Each school present at the event represented winning entries in the contest in categories ranging from Best Feature, Sports Story, Online Publication and more. But first, the proceedings were opened by a special keynote address on the subject of “fake news” by Angela Susan Anton, owner and publisher of Anton Media Group.

“It is an honor to be here today to celebrate the work done by budding journalists and, of course, their teachers who support and encourage and train them as well. Never has real journalism been more important in our communities and our larger society,” she said. “We’ve been reading and hearing a lot in recent months about ‘fake news.’ Do all of you know what that is? It’s false, biased, and inaccurate, untrustworthy information, stuff that is made up and packaged to look like real news. We see it on Facebook and Twitter and other social media, on websites, on our cellphones...it is everywhere.”

Anton said the reason why society should be worried about this phenomena is because many people can have difficulty telling “fake news” apart from other news, especially when fake news appears at the top of Google searches.

But by heading into journalism and running their own individual student newspapers, she noted, the students are arming themselves with the knowledge needed to sort fact from fiction and to learn the vital importance between the two.

“You are learning to search for the truth and how to report it,” she said.

“You’re providing your fellow students with the accurate information that they need to know about their schools. You’re doing exactly what should be done to help abolish this alarming trend of fake news that is spreading.”

Despite the fact that the going can be tough for journalists in this day and age, Anton encouraged the students

MOVIE REVIEW

A Lifetime Burning In Every Moment Review of: Genius. Directed by Michael Grandage, produced by James Bieman, Michael Grandage, John Logan and Tracey Seward, screenplay by John Logan.

Based on Max Perkins: Editor of Genius by A. Scott Berg. Starring Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Laura Linney, Guy Pearce and Dominic West.

BY JOE SCOTCHIE jscotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

“The great American prose work.”

That’s how Thomas Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning novelist described Thomas Wolfe’s 1935 novel, Of Time And The River.. The heart of Genius is the editing of that mammoth manuscript and the friendship it forged between Wolfe (Jude Law) and his equally-legendary editor, Maxwell Perkins (Colin Firth). Of Time And The River was a best seller, a novel of wandering youth that critics compared with the best of Tolstoy, Dickens and Melville.

Perkins remains famous as the editor and friend of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Ring Lardner and James Jones, among others. But the

editing of that novel was the greatest challenge of Perkins’s long and productive career.

Genius vividly captures the force of nature that was this now-forgotten novelist. Wolfe, to quote T.S. Eliot, saw “a lifetime burning in every moment.”

And he channeled that energy into a 3,000-a-word-perday routine, that translated into four thick novels, three plays, two novellas, a hefty short story collection, five volumes of letters and two equally thick notebooks, all written in an 18-year period. The film takes the usual liberties.

In one scene, Wolfe takes Perkins to a Harlem nightclub, where the novelist reveals that jazz inspires his own writing. Wolfe may or may not have listened to jazz, but

168481 C

Colin Firth and Jude Law in “Genius,” that scene was Jack Kerouac talking.

Another scene has Wolfe ragging Fitzgerald’s flailing work habits, while egging him on to do better work. In truth, Wolfe and Fitzgerald had an easy friendship. That dinner table harangue, similarly, was Ernest Hemingway at work.

Was Wolfe a selfish man? Yes, all artists generally are. Their work takes precedence over friends, family, even a wife and children. Wolfe was the youngest of a boisterous family of seven children and he happily drew from the front porch drama to create many a dramatic narrative, even at the risk of making his own kin look foolish. Wolfe was consumed by his work, but he was not competitive.

The movie would have been improved by showing the younger Wolfe teaching Wordsworth and Keats to those rowdy Irish, Italian and Jewish Lower East youth in a New York University classroom, where the then-unpublished novelist taught for a good seven years.

Opposites do attract. Perkins was the erudite symbol of WASP efficiency, a man who could patiently nurture such wounded talents as Wolfe, Hemingway and Fitzgerald, while building Scribner’s into the nerve center of early twentieth-century literature. Wolfe was the mad dreamer from the western North Carolina mountains, a writer who

did not necessarily care about plot or form, but instead was determined to make “America”—every inch of it— the subject of a series of sprawling novels. Or as another great contemporary, William Faulkner, observed, Wolfe tried to do “the impossible...to take all of the human experience and turn it into literature.”

Who’s to say he failed? In the postwar era, Wolfe, along with Hemingway, was easily the most influential American novelist. Not just Kerouac, but William Styron, James Dickey, Norman Mailer, James Jones, Kurt Vonnegut and Pat Conroy all owed lifelong debts to Wolfe. Such novels as The Town And The City, The Naked And The Dead and From Here To Eternity would not have happened if Wolfe was not there first. Phillip Roth’s Nathan Zuckerman, the autobiographical hero of a string of novels, including American Pastoral, is also impossible without Wolfe’s Eugene Gant. The movie’s defining scene is when Wolfe has workers haul not one, but three crates full of twined-up manuscripts that would become Of Time And The River. Perkins simply picks up one of the bunched-up papers, loosens the strings and begins reading. One page down, 9,000 to go. The scene was the essential Max Perkins. And those three crates full of manuscript was also the essential Thomas Wolfe.

Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly will be added to the list of impressive speakers who have shared their compelling messages at Temple Sinai of Roslyn when they discuss Transforming Tragedy into Triumph: America’s Unequivocal Symbols of Leadership, Courage and Perseverance on Thursday, April 27.

Giffords, a former Arizona congresswoman, was severely wounded during an assassination attempt when she was shot in the head from near pointblank range in January 2011. Since then, she and her husband, a retired astronaut and U.S. Navy captain, have encouraged others with their story of hope and determination in the wake of tragedy, serving as a symbol for the possibility of second chances.

These distinguished public servants and models of dedication and resilience represent the very essence of American heroism.

“In all of our lives we experience setbacks, some small, some potentially devastating,” said Lynn Fishkind, Temple Sinai vice president. “Gabby

Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly will speak about determination and perseverance at Temple Sinai of Roslyn on Thursday, April 27.

Giffords and Mark Kelly have a story of perseverance and promise in light of extraordinary circumstances.”

FOR TICKETS: (877) 469-9849

With a message of inspiring bravery through tough times and a powerful perspective on harnessing strength from others to persevere, Giffords and Kelly bring audiences inside their journey, motivating them to overcome any challenge they face, and to be passionate, courageous and their very best.

Temple Sinai has a longstanding commitment to adult education and has previously featured other distinguished lecturers, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Ministers Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel.

Throughout their careers and since the shooting, Giffords and Kelly have been honored with numerous accolades. The couple’s enlightening memoir, Gabby: The story of Courage and Hope, has topped many best-seller lists, such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

Kelly spent more than 50 days in orbit and served as the commander of Space Shuttle Endeavour on its final flight, and flew 39 combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait during the first

OR

Gulf War. The youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Senate, Giffords represented her community in her state’s Legislature from 2000–05 and in Congress from 2006–12, consistently ranking as one of the most Centrist legislators in Congress.

Because of the fortitude she exemplified, in 2015, the U.S. Navy honored her by naming a ship, the USS Gabrielle Giffords, after her.

“Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly recently appeared at Northwell Health, where they received rave reviews,” said Fishkind. “We at Temple Sinai are thrilled that they will share their story of strength and renewal, which will be an inspiration to all who attend.”

The program, which has been funded by the Herbert Hyman Fund for Tolerance and the Hochhauser Lecture Fund, will begin at 7:30 p.m., following dinner at 6 p.m.

Temple Sinai of Roslyn is located at 425 Roslyn Rd. in Roslyn Heights.

April Movie Previews

BY CHERYL WADSWORTH editorial@antonmediagroup.com

April is here bringing us Easter and Passover, and with any luck, some unswerving warm weather. If consistency in your entertainment is also what you want, then you won’t be disappointed with the great assortment of movies in store. The following are just some of the escapades in store for you during the month of April.

The Case For Christ (PG) Also on April 7, The Case for Christ comes out, directed by Jon Gunn and starring Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen and Faye Dunaway. This is based on a true story by Lee Strobel’s 1998 book of the same name. He was a self-proclaimed atheist whose wife unexpectedly decides to become a Christian. Being an awardwinning fact-finding journalist, he sets out to challenge the existence of God but is met with surprisingly life-altering results.

Having read the book, I am excited to see it play out on the big screen. A very thought-provoking movie.

Going In Style (PG-13) On April 7 comes Going In Style, directed by Zach Braff, who is best known for his role in the television series [Scrubs]. This is a remake of the 1979 comedy, then starring George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg. This time around, Alan Arkin, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman take their turns as three seniors distraught over losing their pensions due to their prior company reorganizing. Refusing to let this ruin the remainder of their lives and the inheritances they worked so hard to leave their loved ones, they take matters into their own hands. That’s when the hilarity begins, as they plot to rob the very bank that held their money. I personally loved the first one and can’t wait to see Arkin’s, Caine’s and Freeman’s portrayal.

Unforgettable (R) Unforgettable premieres on April 21, with Katherine Heigl, Rosario Dawson, Cheryl Ladd and Geoff Stults. Directed by first timer Denise Di Nori, who also produced the film, it is a psychological thriller following Tessa’s (Heigl) craziness over her ex-husband’s new wife and stepmother to her child. She refuses to let them be happy and makes their joyful life their very worst nightmare. This thriller will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what maniacal thing Heigl will do next.

The Circle (PG-13) On April 28, The Circle debuts. Directed by James Ponsoldt the film stars Emma Watson, just coming off her recordbreaking role as Belle in [Beauty and the Beast], along with Tom Hanks, John Boyega, Karen Gillan and the late Bill Paxton in one of his last movie roles.

Watson portrays a young tech worker excited to land a new job at a powerful Internet company. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that the company compromises everyone’s privacy and freedom. She and other workers must stop the company from abolishing the future of civilization. A stimulating science fiction thriller that will keep you guessing throughout.

The Fate of the Furious

(PG-13) April 14 sees the debut of The Fate of the Furious, starring Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, Dwayne Johnson, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris, just to name a few.

Directed by F. Gary Gray, the film is the eighth installment of the franchise and the first film to not star the late Paul Walker. While the squad enjoys retirement and their newfound freedom, a secretive woman lures Dom (Diesel) back into the world of crime and somehow forces him to betray those closest to him, including his wife.

Just as adventurous as the others, this movie promises a lot of car chases, explosions and action.

down and touched off a local boom, with miles of parks, walkways and new transit routes. Milwaukee tore down the Park East Freeway in 2002 and now the Milwaukee Riverwalk connects the city’s hottest neighborhoods. Freeways removal or relocation projects are in various stages of serious planning in a dozen states.

In December 2014, Rochester closed much of the Inner Loop that divided the city into pieces physically and socially, to be replaced by a “complete city street” that will make residents safer and increase their quality of life. Syracuse and Albany are debating what to do about urban highways that divide their communities, cut off waterfronts and limit good choices.

It isn’t just about being “green.” These aging, rusting giant roadways are incredibly expensive to maintain, refurbish and rebuild. Long Islanders will need to decide if its future is built for people or just for cars.

earthly funding mechanism. Many groups have criticized the governor’s budget for removing State Comptroller oversight and reducing public scrutiny of these projects.

Only 20 years ago, the state’s Department of Transportation called for expansion of the Sheridan. What gives?

The idea of decommissioning the Sheridan and replacing it with a new “smart development” neighborhood with schools and green space has been shopped around by environmental justice groups for a decade. Governor Cuomo pulled it out of his big sack last month. Whatever the motivation, the Sheridan project is on the cutting edge of the “new urbanism” and “smart growth” planning movements. It’s a

red-hot concept.

Tear down a working expressway to build a real neighborhood with residential, commercial and industrial balance? Robert Moses, who taught America to rebuild its cities for cars and not people, would scoff at this ridiculous “egg head” idea.

Last year the Robert Moses Parkway near Niagara Falls was renamed the Niagara Scenic Parkway when freeway sections were replaced by smaller roads that hooked into downtown Niagara Falls and Lewiston.

“Traffic generation” (or “induced demand”) was proven on Long Island.

Building more lanes of highway actually makes congestion worse as drivers head for the new lanes. Building the Throgs Neck Bridge didn’t relieve congestion on the Whitestone; now we had two jammed bridges.

But now we know it works the other way. Tear out a freeway and drivers seek other routes. Traffic ends up the same.

San Francisco got the ball rolling when the 1989 earthquake damaged Route 480, an ugly double-decker freeway next to the bay. It was taken

The Sheridan Expressway in the Bronx was one of the last of the urban expressways undertaken by Robert Moses, Long Island and New York City’s so-called “Master Builder.” By the time its first phase was completed in 1963, Moses no longer held his city posts and people had learned ways to organize and stop him from plowing through the middle of their communities. What we have of the Sheridan is frequently referred to as a “useless stub.” Still, many were surprised when Governor Cuomo recently presented a $1.88 billion revitalization plan for the South Bronx.

Included is $97 million in budgeted seed money to begin taking the Sheridan down and replace it with a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly boulevard.

Cuomo has been working hard to remake his image. No one knows what to make of these massive public works projects he keeps dropping out of the sky: Tappan Zee Bridge ($8.3 billion needed to complete), LaGuardia Airport ($450 million), Penn Station ($570 million), Javits Center ($1 billion) and more.

Creative Writing

While creative writing doesn’t necessarily have a place in newspapers, it is a good way for scribes to practice their trade and exercise their artistic muscles. For example, Pete Hamill, who was a columnist for two major city papers, is a celebrated author of fiction with 10 novels and hundreds of short stories to his credit. The process of creative writing begins with inspiring your students to delve into their imaginations. The key is to find a spark to spur imaginative thought. That spark can be anything from a past experience to an overheard quip from a friend. That is the best thing about inspiration—it knows no bounds.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). The leading cause of anxiety is uncertainty, and great anxiety is caused by layers of the stuff. Happiness will follow investigation. Find out all you can about the projects and happenings you’re getting into. This will help you plan and prevent your nerves from disrupting you as you go. Good information equals good moods.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Trip to New Zealand Solution: 32 Letters

© 2017 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In general, you’re a fast learner, so you expect yourself to absorb things quickly. Try not to be too surprised or frustrated when you don’t immediately get the skill you’re trying to pick up this week.

This is both complicated and nuanced. It will take longer. Often the best things do!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t have to experience a situation in order to understand more about it. Your amazing imagination allows you to think your way into things you haven’t done. Your powers of empathy will be strong now, too. You’ll quickly learn what you need to know to grow in influence.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Great focus is your aim this week, and it will show in how you dress, behave and organize yourself. Whether you are dressing for an occasion, arranging your office, planning a dinner or creating an online profile, the high level of attention you bring to presenting yourself well will pay off handsomely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your self-definition is just another opinion. That it happens to be yours doesn’t matter right now. Thoughts can be faulty and distorted, so avoid giving them too much power. You’ll be a superstar of effectiveness when you focus instead on facts, results and structures. Do what’s worked before and you’ll win.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You keep thinking of a situation as stuck, but is it really? Things change all of the time. So, what is more immobile here: the obstacle or your attitude? Get help with this. Reach out to a guide. Don’t let stubbornness and attachment to one perspective get in the way of your happiness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Managing our expectations and desires can be tough, but it’s some of the most important work we do as humans.

Improving this skill helps us get along better with each other and live happier lives. This week your success happens when you tamp down an expectation or two and set up more reasonable ones.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You reach your feelers into a situation and usually know right away if it’s for you. Realize that this is different from the approach many others around you take. Try not to get impatient when they ask a million questions and compare and contrast until the cows come home.

Your tolerance of different styles will pay off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a delicate balance being achieved in the current situation. You may not like the relentless tension here, but if you make a sudden move you’ll upset any one of the elements resting against another and things will fall to ruin. So be strong and thoughtful as you await the change. It’s coming.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you strive to fit in, it will work, but it won’t make you happy. In such an instance the one who is “accepted” isn’t really you; rather, it’s a carefully arranged invention by you. Instead of morphing yourself to fit, show up how you are, ready to learn and accept how they are, too. What will emerge is a sense of belonging.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you give your all but it doesn’t feel like it costs you anything, that’s a sign that you’re in a situation that’s worthy of you. It will happen often this joyous week. Also, take notice when the opposite happens and certain things require more psychic work than they really should. In those cases, look for the out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve lived with yourself for this long, and yet you’re really still learning about how to best take care of your needs. It will be interesting to note your reaction to certain circumstances, because there’s a pattern here to be detected and something you could easily change to feel better and raise your energy.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll be in high demand over the next six weeks. Regard previous commitments as important work and avoid situations in which you might be coerced into supporting people who really don’t need you and will thus waste your efforts. Parties bring fortuitous meetings in May. Family relies on you and also brings you great joy. You’ll get a taste of the lifestyle of the rootless and adventurous in June. There’s a financial boost in July, which leads to professional growth.

Big Mozz’s sticks grace Citi Field this year.

Fuku’s spicy chicken sandwich (Photos by Steve Mosco)

Amazingly Satisfying

BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

hey are known as the “Amazin” Mets. It’s a nickname used for both victories and losses throughout the team’s history. An adjective so predictably applied that as a writer with a bend toward food, I could easily use it to describe the culinary hits at Citi Field for the team’s 2017 season—it’s a hanging slider just begging to be smacked into the cheap seats.

With a lineup featuring the likes of oversized mozzarella sticks, pork belly sliders and the best damn fried chicken sandwich anywhere, I am not Edible going to waste such cookie an opportunity but dough from I will add my own DO- . qualifier to the Mets’ moniker.

The food at Citi Field for the 2017 season is freaking amazin’.

Food writing brings many perks, not the least of which is a yearly invitation to check out new and returning snacks at Citi Field. It is a day I always circle on my calendar as the morning when I eat only a banana or granola bar for breakfast. If previous tours have taught me anything, it’s that one needs to prepare as if pitching a game seven.

When team officials pulled back the curtain leading to the dining area, it was immediately apparent that this first exclusive taste would lead to many in-game trips to the concession stands.

Without thinking twice, my first stop

was Fuku’s spicy chicken sandwich, a habanero-brined, de-boned slab of fried chicken sandwiched with pickles, Fuku butter and a side of ssäm sauce, an umami-rich and tangy chili sauce. This is a true destination sandwich—it’s juicy with a hot kick. It’s an edible expletive and so good that I had to grab one for the road when I left the food tour. An outpost of chef David Chang’s venerable Momofuku, Citi Field’s Fuku also serves chicken fingers, fries and Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar cookies.

Big Mozz, a Brooklyn-born veteran of Williamsburg and Prospect Park Smorgasburgs and new to the stadium in 2017, now brings their thickly-coated cheese sticks and homemade sauces to mouths of the Mets faithful.

Seriously, these are superb, big league mozzarella sticks, with each about twice the size of standard appetizer grub. The heavily seasoned coating only complements the creamy, gooey, handmade cheese within—and it’s made even better with Big Mozz’s proprietary marinara, pesto and chipotle dipping sauces.

Another new addition to Citi Field in 2017, New York City-favorite Baohaus calls up its signature TaiwaneseChinese pork belly bun, Chairman Bao, to the pros. As soon as I saw the restaurant’s signage, I was clamoring for the braised Berkshire pork belly,

served with Baohaus’ own relish, crushed peanuts, Taiwanese red sugar and cilantro on a steamed bun that fits neatly into the palm of the eater’s hand. The glossy pork belly has hints of caramel amid the expected salty fattiness, while the bun—which, in a happy accident, resembles a catcher’s mitt—is soft and semi-sticky.

Acclaimed New York City chef Josh Capon returns to Citi Field in 2017, this time with his Bash Burger—a Pat LaFrieda patty with caramelized onion and bacon jam, shaved pickles, American cheese and secret sauce.

This juicy belly bomb seems front loaded with robust flavors, but they all work together to give the stadium’s other burger purveyor—Shake Shack—a run for their money. And if you order the two-patty Double Barrel

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

burger, you’ll be sufficiently satiated should the game go to extra innings.

When I was finished lumbering through the food tour, it was time for dessert. Another rookie at the stadium this year is DO , a groundbreaking city establishment that sells edible cookie dough with chocolate chips, in cake batter form and in the sugar cookie variety. Aside from the soft-serve sold in mini-baseball caps, the decadent treat is the new go-to stadium dessert—and judging by the rabid media members around DO ’s, table, prepare to wait in long gameday lines for a taste.

This is barely a glimpse into what awaits eaters at Citi Field this season—there’s also risotto balls, loaded seafood fries, wood-fired pizza, tacos, along with craft beer and a new Jim Beam Bourbon Bar. The Mets have 81 home games this year—that’s 81 chances to go beyond hot dogs and peanuts at the ballpark.
