Downtime Downtown for Shelley Hirshleifer
With the intensity of work leading up to the holidays, I find that spending time with my family is the perfect way for me to relax. While Lori is basking in the St. Barth’s sun drinking French wines, you’ll find me in downtown Brooklyn drinking fine Italian wines and visiting my adorable grandchildren, Prue and Marco. You might not understand the correlation between the two so I’ll enlighten you. My son Andrew and my daughter-in-law, Francine, own and operate a very popular restaurant on Flatbush Ave called Frannys. There I can unwind and enjoy a perfect meal – a nice bottle of Lambrusco, a perfectly done clam pizza and one of Andrew’s great special first plates. I can also enjoy watching Prue steal all the pancetta off my husband’s plate while Marco, at the age of two, likes to click his zippy cup against my wine glass and say cheers. Family, clam pizza and Lambrusco – my recipe for unwinding.
