First Venetian Wine Bar America Bacaro

BAR CICHETTI

by Daniel Bellino-Zwicke & Tom Taraci

BAR CIHETTI

Daniel Bellino Zwicke is widely recognized as the

creator of Bar Cichetti, known as "America's First Venetian Wine Bar". It was established in 1998 by Zwicke and Tom Taraci. Daniel served as the Chef, wine director, and managing partner. Bar Cichetti aimed to recreate the experience of a Venetian bacaro (wine bar) in New York City, specializing in Venetian food and Italian wine. Reviews from the time noted its cozy atmosphere and delicious food, with highlights like the Sarde en Soar, Lasagna, and Pasta with Duck Ragu.

It's important to note that while Bar Cichetti was a significant part of Bellino Zwicke's career, it is no longer open under his operation. There's a restaurant in New York City currently operating as "Bar Cicchetti by Fabio Viviani" in Chelsea. This is a different establishment and should not be confused with Daniel Bellino Zwicke's original Bar Cichetti, "America's 1st Ever Venetian Wine Bar."

Trump Loves Spaghetti

"TRUMP LOVES SPAGHETTI"

CAMP DAVID SPAGHETTI

CAMP DIVID SPAGHETTI - Recipe

From a NAVY COOK who cooked this dish for Presidents, Marines, and Naval personnel of the US Navy, and United States Marines. At CAMP DAVID. It's a a hearty crowd pleasing dish, made with meat sauce, served with Spaghetti & Italian Sausage. "What's not to Love?" A dish loved by Presidents Clinton, Bush, Biden, Obama, and Trump. You'll love it too!

Ingredients :

4 Italian sausage links
1 pound lean ground beef
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package dry spaghetti
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Slice sausages lengthwise, leaving links attached along one side; lay flat in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 5 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a plate; set aside.

Add ground beef, onion, garlic, and olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until onion is translucent and beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the skillet. Stir in tomato sauce, tomatoes, oregano, salt, basil, bay leaf, and black pepper; simmer, uncovered, over low heat until flavors have blended, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard bay leaf.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Stir spaghetti into sauce.

Divide spaghetti and sauce among individual oven-safe baking dishes or plates; top each with a cooked half sausage and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

How High Can XRP Go

XRP

"HOW HIGH CAN IT GO" ???

XRP News Today: XRP Hits All-Time High $3.55 36%

Weekly Surge Driven by Whale Accumulation

XRP, the cryptocurrency developed by Ripple Labs, has recently reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $3.55, marking a 36% weekly surge. This significant milestone is driven by substantial accumulation by large investors, or "whales," who have aggressively bought over 2.2 billion XRP in just two weeks, valued at more than $6.6 billion. This buying spree has propelled XRP to its highest price ever recorded, reinforcing bullish sentiment as the token pushes into uncharted territory.

Notable transactions include a $73 million transfer to Coinbase, along with major movements between Upbit and private wallets. Analysts, including Ali Martinez, believe that if the token can sustain a weekly close above $3, the next upside target could be $4.80. Technical indicators suggest the $3.30–$3.35 zone is a key resistance area that, if broken, could open the door to a steep rally. The potential for profit-taking is high, especially after such a prolonged period of growth. If early investors decide to cash in on their gains, XRP could experience a correction, potentially dropping to around $3.00. This would test the cryptocurrency's support levels and could provide an opportunity for new buyers to enter the market.

The recent surge in XRP's price has been accompanied by a broader rally in the cryptocurrency market. Major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum and Solana, have shown impressive gains. Supporting the move is a broader market rebound in altcoins, with Ethereum and Solana also gaining traction in recent days. However, XRP’s breakout is drawing attention for its scale and timing, coming just months after regulatory hurdles were cleared and institutional adoption ramped up. Market observers note that increased open interest in XRP futures adds further fuel to the rally, hinting at growing confidence among both retail and professional traders. If momentum holds and whales continue to accumulate, XRP could be on the verge of a historic breakout not seen since the bull cycle of 2017.

Despite the potential for profit-taking and sell-offs, the overall sentiment remains bullish, with many investors optimistic about XRP's long-term prospects. The House is poised to pass the Clarity Act, which could provide further clarity and regulatory certainty for the cryptocurrency industry, potentially driving further growth. However, analysts caution that the market could experience a round of sell-offs from early investors, which could test XRP's price above the $3 level again. This development could skirt the altcoin's momentum and lead to increased volatility in the short term. In summary, XRP's recent ATH is a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency, driven by aggressive whale accumulation and broader market trends. While the potential for profit-taking and sell-offs exists, the overall sentiment remains positive, with many investors bullish on XRP's future. The passage of the Clarity Act could provide further regulatory clarity and drive additional growth in the cryptocurrency market.

Ripple Price Prediction for 2025 and Beyond

As of 26 June 2025, third-party ripple price predictions for 2025 and beyond indicated a cautiously optimistic, yet varied, outlook.

Trading Economics adopted a bearish stance, projecting XRP to decline to $2.08 by the end of the quarter, with a further drop to $2 within a year. In contrast, Benzinga offered a bullish XRP price prediction, forecasting an average price of $3.10 for 2025, potentially reaching as high as $5.81, with a lower bound of $2.05.

Benzinga’s long-term expectations remain optimistic, predicting steady increases to $3.90 in 2026, and further jumps to $8.89 in 2027, $14.11 in 2028 and $16.46 by 2029.

Crypto-focused publisher AMBCrypto anticipated a more moderate performance, suggesting XRP could average $2.43 during 2025, with estimates ranging between $1.94 and $2.92. Its forecast showed modest subsequent growth, predicting an average price of $2.33 in 2026, gradually climbing to $3.14 by 2029.

Changelly also projected steady growth, indicating an average XRP price of $2.20 in 2025, climbing to $3.34 in 2026. The crypto platform expected accelerated growth thereafter, reaching an average price of $5.06 by 2027, and ultimately surpassing $10 in 2029.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency data provider Coincodex forecasted XRP’s price averaging $2.52 in 2025, with a range from $2.13 to $2.47. The site’s analysis projected continued appreciation to $2.80 in 2026, rising further to $3.68 in 2027, before briefly dipping to $3.61 in 2028, then rebounding to $4.63 by 2029.
