An antique photograph ... where (and when) was it taken?
Not in Tuscany at all, Corso Trattoria is an Italian restaurant in Berkeley's "gourmet ghetto." This photo was shot a few years ago right on Shattuck Avenue, less than 10 minutes from home (assuming you can find nearby parking). This is a reminder that fabulous meals can be found right around the corner ... and that we can be reminded of places distant and exotic just by looking at the world with imagination.
So if you're at home this Festive Season, treat yourself to a night out to a local restaurant with a lot of character and authentic regional cuisine. While you're enjoying a glass of wine, absorb the experience and dream about where you'd like to go in 2017.
P.S. — this was an iPhone photo, and in the post-processing I applied a sepia tone and a very coarse grain.
