My family and I had dinner at Mulberry’s on Main in downtown Clayton last night. The food was the best Italian I have had in a very long time.  I guess I can say since I left New York in 1980.

It is a family run business and Nonno (the Grandfather) even comes out of the kitchen from time to time to sing to you at your table.  Make sure you go really hungry though, because their portions are large and their prices are reasonable.

After dinner you can take an old fashion horse and buggy ride .

After dinner we listened to Bruce Naegelen play and sing in the lounge. You need to go by when he is there. He has a great voice and his guitar playing ain’t so bad either.
