An Afternoon in Naples at Pulino's

I'm starting to become a regular at the latest Bowery hot spot restaurant: Pulino's. So far I have been for brunch, dinner, and cocktails. I've picked a couple of favorite items, and I can't wait to end my next big night out by heading over there for burgers (they're only available after midnight). Two of my top things there so far are the sweet breakfast pizza topped with only a bit of extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, and served with a side of apple butter for dipping, and the Afternoon in Naples cocktail, which I enjoyed this afternoon here in NYC. It's a Campari cocktail (I am a huge fan of the apéritif and Pulino's devotes an entire section of its cocktail menu to it) and perfect for daytime - refreshing, not too strong, and completely delicious with a nice, tart finish. The recipe is:

Afternoon in Naples:

1 ½ oz Campari
3 ½ oz fresh pink grapefruit juice
½ oz simple syrup (ginger infused)
½ oz lime juice

Garnish: Lime peel
Glassware: White wine glass

Salute!

Healthy Wrap Ideas

Memorial Day is fast approaching and I am looking for simple, healthy breakfast and lunch wrap ideas to help keep me from feeling deprived as I try to slim down a bit in preparation of swimsuit season. I always love a curried chicken wrap, but many of the other wrap combinations available to buy are disappointingly bland. I've been doing a bit of research and some thinking and have come up with the following ideas:

Sweet:

-peanut butter, banana and raisins
-peanut butter and apple slices
-apple butter, raisins and slivered almonds
-almond butter and chopped dates


Savory:

-pesto, sundried tomatoes, ricotta, arugula and pinenuts
-goat cheese and roasted vegetables
-hummus, cucumber, tomato and feta
-a fried egg, salsa, jack cheese and plain yogurt
-avocado, black beans, jack cheese, plain yogurt and salsa
-avocado, lettuce, tomato and crumbled bacon
-tofu, bean sprouts, shredded cabbage and sweet chili sauce
-chicken, chipotle mayonnaise, grated parmesan and lettuce
-chicken, artichoke tapenade and grated parmesan

There are so many other possibilities too... They can be rolled right up in a whole wheat tortilla as a to go breakfast or packaged in a lavash bread and cut on the bias for lunch.
