Il

Il
Circolo, the Italian Cultural Society of the Palm Beaches, hosted an
afternoon of song and dancing at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Richard Frank, well-known entertainer, shared his memorabelia of pop
tunes made famous by Italian icons such as Frank Sinatra, Dean
Martin, Bobby Darin, et al. With his wife, Ann, operating the
technical equipment and sound system, he wowed the audience with
song after song, energizing them to a feverish pitch. The song,
"That’s Amore" had everyone chiming in, emphasizing the
common Italian phrases of the tune.
When
New York, New York was performed, he invited guests up on the
stage to participate in the leg-kicking routine in time with the
lively music. Among the dancers was 85 year old, Gloria Balta, who
was New York City’s Ms. Senior America in 1990. She kept up with
the younger participants, but her joyous expression and energy stood
out.
Richard
usually sings walking from group to group, in informal venues, but
the stage set-up didn’t stop him. Several times, he left the stage
and squeezed between the rows and aisles, resorting to his natural
entertainment mode. Smiles, toe-tapping and swaying gave him
encouragement to continue for almost two hours.
Thanks
to Dot Nanna who chaired the event and to Betty Vecchio, Program
Chair who discovered Richard.

Pizzeria — Delizioso!

Tippi’s
Pizzeria is an established business on Okeechobee Boulevard, across
from Century Village. Tippi Redzepi, an immigrant from Albania,
first moved to New Jersey more than 30 years ago, where he opened
two pizza stores.
He
moved his family to Florida in 1991 and opened a store at Belvedere
Road and Georgia Avenue and ran it with his son, Reggie. Eleven
years ago, they moved to their present location at 5778 Okeechobee
Blvd. in West Palm Beach.
They
offer a wide range of Italian-type foods, such as spaghetti,
calzone, parmigiana, salads, hot and cold sandwiches and so on. This
writer has sampled their meatball sandwiches, their Greek salads,
and of course their pizza. It can honestly be said you won’t find
better fare around.
The
late Sam Koppleman, long time adv. salesman for the Condo News,
was a frequent patron of Tippi’s. He used to use his quirky sense
of humor on them when he would complain they had not properly
arranged the beans in his soup, or that they had inadvertently
placed the sauce under the cheese on his pizza.
Tippi’s
Pizzeria is open Monday through Thursday from 11am to 11pm, Saturday
from 11am to 12 midnight, and on Sunday from 12 noon to 10pm. They
offer take-out, delivery, and limited sit down, and catering. Call
them at (561) 681-9224 or just stop by the next time you want to eat
Italian. And, please tell them you saw their ad in the Condo
News. |
