Rod Dreher of the DMN, who came from Brooklyn had this to say, on the DMN Shopping blog, about "Grimaldi's":

"... here's some Brooklyn inside baseball: y'all are calling it "Grimaldi's," when in fact the Dallas restaurant is "Patsy Grimaldi's." It's not the same thing as the legendary pizza joint still operating under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side. It's a complicated story, and probably only important to transplanted New Yorkers, but people should know that the Dallas restaurant is a relative of the Manhattan Grimaldi's, not the Brooklyn Grimaldi's, which is a tad better in my estimation."

An old wineasaur tells me that back in the early 1980's there were quite a few wine bars here in Dallas. The Grape, St Martin's (yes it started out as a wine bar) 2 Wine Press' (one in Addison and the original on Oak Lawn), The Vineyard on Greenville and Hollywood and Vine, to mention most of them.

Not bad for way back when the crust of the earth was cooling.
