Review of Hostaria Mazzei in Port Chester

Here's how the meal went

"Appetizer"(not really an appetizer, but bread and butter) - Fantastic. The bread was hot and fresh; the breadsticks were also fresh and made with rosemary. Butter was clearly hand made, and was delicious. A+ for the bread and butter.

Entree - I got the veal. It was OK. Not the best meal I've ever had, but not the worst. I'd give this a B+.

Desert - I got a chocolate cake. It was horrendous. It tasted like it had just been defrosted from some frozen desert in the supermarket.

My brother got the sorbet. This was the worst part of the meal. It was LTIERALLY from Costco. They just fluffed up the top and made it wavy. What kind of restaurant serves something DIRECTLY from Costco? Seriously, this is a new low for restaurants.

Overall, I probably wouldn't go back, as the desert aspect put me off so much. The fact that a restaurant would even think of using prepared foods from costco is just frightening.

Ecuadorian restaurant in NYC?

From Lonely Planet

I was going to say the same thing! Search Chowhound on the "outer boroughs" of the NYC boards...you will not find it in Manhattan.

... you are in the outer outer boroughs , ie New Jersey or New York State, there are some Ecuadorian restaurants. Port Chester in particular (20 minute Metro North ride from Manhattan) has a long strip of Latin American restaurants. Kearny, in NJ, not ...

AN ACT authorizing firefighter John M. Suppa, Jr. to apply for an optional twenty year retirement plan provided for in section 384-d of the retirement and social security law and authorizing the village of Port Chester to reopen such optional twenty year retirement plan for firefighter John M. Suppa, Jr.

Became a law July 26, 2006, with the approval of the Governor. Passed on Home Rule request pursuant to Article IX, section 2(b) (2) of the Constitution by a majority vote, three-fifths being present.

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the village of Port Chester, in the county of Westchester, a participating employer in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system, which previously elected to offer the optional twenty year retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, to firefighters employed by such village, is hereby authorized to make participation in such plan available to John M. Suppa, Jr., a firefighter employed by the village of Port Chester, who, for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence failed to make a timely application to participate in such optional twenty year retirement plan.

Thereafter, John M. Suppa, Jr., may elect to be covered by the provisions of section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with coverage under such section, by filing a request to that effect with the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2006.

§ 2. All costs associated with implementing the provisions of this act, including past service costs and annual contributions, shall be borne by the village of Port Chester and may be paid in ten equal annual installments.

§ 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:

This bill will allow firefighter John M. Suppa, Jr. of the Village of Port Chester to become covered by the provisions of Section 384-d of the Retirement and Social Security Law. If this bill were enacted, we anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $3,400 in annual contributions of the Village of Port Chester.

In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be an immediate past service cost of approximately $81,700 which would be borne by the Village of Port Chester. If this cost is amortized over a period of 10 years, the cost for the first year, including interest,
