Day 2—From Cleveland to Youngstown, it's nice to see fellow Italians doing well!

Oh how we love Italian bakeries… the smells, the sights, the regulars coming and going with their daily dose of almond biscotti or pepperoni roll-up.  That’s why we particularly enjoyed our signing today at Corbo’s Bakery in the Murray Hill district of Cleveland.  This little bakery is about to become a very big (literally) bakery with their expansion at the beginning of this next year.  Nationally known for their Cassata and wedding cakes, Joe Corbo and his friendly crew really opened the door for Feast of the Seven Fishes.  We got to talk Italian, sign a few books and enjoy more than our fair share of their amazing tiramisu. 

   

After Corbo’s we headed over to Youngstown for a signing at Jimmy’s.  Jimmy’s is a fantastic Italian grocery store that just renovated and expanded this last year (is it just us, or do you notice a theme here? Italians are doing pretty well!) and has a beautiful new location.  We had to shift our signing time around a little due to the fact that Corbo's had a busy night of accepting an award from the town—congrats Jimmy's!  The best part of this signing by far was all the fans who came in with printed out blogs about the event, those are the true fans!  Oh, and the meatballs...

Can't wait for tomorrow—Philly should be a fantastic place for our tour!
