This summer marked the inauguration of new and exciting music collaborations, but my favorite had to be Ten Strings Sunday afternoon string quartet performances on the sidewalk outside of the Lower East Side restaurant Il Bagatto. We would play Scott Joplin rags and jazz standards until it got too dark to read our music, at which point we'd move indoors for a delicious meal compliments of Il Bagatto's super fabulous owner, Juilio. Always generous with the wine, we would laugh and talk well into the night. We played through rain showers (with the aid of umbrellas) and one pretty scary wind storm. It's amazing what we'll do for a great plate of pasta.

Il Bagatto is a great to place to go for a glass of wine or bowl of gnocchi. You can find hours and directions on their website: www.ilbagattonyc.com
