In the magazine's big Italian issue, which comes out on Tuesday, Ray says, "Baltimore's Little Italy, a pocket of cozy brick buildings, feels like home. " She directs readers to Germano's “for a Taste of Tuscany, the home of owner Germano Fabiani” and declares the “iconic dish” of Baltimore's Little Italy to be clams casino.

A lover's lane, a car and a kiss: Filtered through imperfect memory, idealized by time, pitching woo in the "old days" seems so simple compared to today's convoluted courtship rituals.Back then (whenever that was) it was enough to find an undeveloped cul-de-sac (Nacirema Lane in Baltimore County was a favorite, according to one fortysomething Baltimorean) or a silent construction site. Couples could park at Loch Raven Reservoir, the overlook at Druid Hill Park, get lost in the Cylburn woods or Robert E. Lee Park.

Last night's "Roseanne" should have been titled "Lucy Goes to a Gay Bar" not "The Kiss."Oh sure, the much publicized lesbian kiss was there between Roseanne and a character played by Mariel Hemingway. And it was at least 3 1/2 seconds, just like ABC wouldn't confirm it would be.But there was nothing very sensual or explicit about it.The context was that Roseanne goes to a gay bar mainly to prove she's "cool" to co-worker Nancy (Sandra Bernhard). At the bar, she dances with Nancy's girlfriend, Sharon (Hemingway)

Todd Pearthree is a director who doesn't shy away from a challenge, and staging "Kiss of the Spider Woman" at small, conservative Theatre Hopkins definitely qualifies as a challenge.Based on the Manuel Puig novel, which was in turn the basis for the 1985 movie starring William Hurt, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" focuses on two cellmates in a Latin American prison. Theatre Hopkins' production, which opens tomorrow, stars Edward J. Peters and Christopher Millard. Lanor Long plays the title role -- a fictitious movie star idolized by one of the prisoners.

Gabriele Muccino's The Last Kiss stops your heart and keeps your belly jiggling with laughter. It's an improbably sunny tragicomedy. While the picture plunges to the limits of romantic disappointment, Muccino and his ensemble never cease to emit a buzz of life-replenishing energy. The movie elegantly traces the stumbling steps of some Roman buddies nearing 30. Like the fellows in Fellini's I Vitelloni or Barry Levinson's Diner, they reinforce each other's insecurities about becoming full-fledged men and accepting the challenges of wedlock, jobs and raising children.
