Svenningsen's
When some chefs branch out and open a new restaurant, they have a loyal client base to fall back on. Ron Svenningsen has a congregation. For the past sixteen years, he's held the title of head chef at Marble Collegiate Church, feeding the flock at various singles dinners, Sunday brunches, and ladies' teas. But the former lobsterman and northern Maine restaurateur dreamed of opening his own old-fashioned fish house, serving shore dinners, fried Ipswich clams, and seafood crępes. Hence Svenningsen's, his homey restaurant that opens next week a block from the church. "I'll put my lobster roll up against anybody's," he says. "I use only the knuckles, with just enough Hellmann's to bind it, and a homemade bun with a little butter placed on the griddle — it's got to be a griddle so you get that buttery flavor." Mary's and Pearl's, watch your backs.

Takk for sidst. Most of our block , E 27th St., was torn down c. 1954; so My life was shoved away from MARBLE & "Little Church"s & CCNY -- somehow. Being, internationally hidden homeless street priest : STOP Mayor "Mike"s sweeps c/o NYPD inc. on/by churches' steps -- I haven't been able to trek down to Chef Ron's new rest't. Hope that he hires legal Scandinavians instead of Dominican Republicans [illegal aliens]??? His dinners were usually top form , luscious for ARTS....He may be a rival for : Acquavit: & for Ulrika's'. GATT harms myish France's family farms. WRite to the French prime minister to protect us part-French folk & us Jews. Bury some of me/moi/mig in Richmond-upon-Thames. I miss Chef Ron's smile & handshake.
