Wednesday I did something I haven’t in a while: went to Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort, NY for music an food. Long-time readers may recall that used to be a regular thing with me. Why wouldn’t it be? I love music, and I love food! Additionally, I love supporting local, both restaurants and musicians. But for one reason and another I have not made it to Fratello’s in a while. When I saw that Gridley Paige Naked and Scared with Justin Smithson was going to be there, I made plans!
Unfortunately, only one of my pictures turned out.
I keep saying that I will never get over my disappointment that Gridley Paige is not actually naked. That is the dirty old woman in me. I question, too, how scared they are, but I do no purport to know anybody else’s emotional state. I had never heard Justin Smithson play with them before but have heard him solo and like him quite a bit. He is, as you may know, the Rock’n Roll Mayor of Frankfort. I should see if the Sentinel wants me to start covering Frankfort Village Board meetings. I already do the Town ones.
After quite a bit of debate, I decided on a steak and cheese wrap. Yum! There are so many excellent choices. I may have to start going every week again, so I can work my way down the menu.
When I left, the band was bantering with some customers. I listened for a minute then said, “You guys have to play another song so I can dance my way out!” They were happy to oblige. I took my time leaving, dancing back and forth a few times, looking like the crazy old lady I am. Such a fun time!
Fratello’s Pizzeria is located at 158 E. Main St., Frankfort, NY, phone number 315-894-8484.
