"Hey Tony!"

So I wen't out to dinner with my girlfriend and her mom in Asbury Park, NJ.  The restaurant is called "Jimmy's", and the place's speciality is Italian food.  We ate in the "back room" which, according to someone who works there, was at one point a meeting location for local mobsters.  The restaraunt itself used to be a front for the mob, until the owner died and his wife took over.  Of course, while you're eating there that fact shoudn't surprise you, the place looks like it's straight out of Goodfellas, or The Godfather.  Maybe even the Sopranos.  Going in, I had hopes of networking with a dining mobster.  After all, I have logged quite a few hours playing the Godfather video game, so I know a few of the ins and outs of the family business.  But alas, I was unsuccessful, and will have to put my mobster dreams on the shelf for a few more years.
