del.icio.usTo the editor:
I am writing to compliment your newspaper on the excellent Brooklyn dining columns by Tina
Barry. As a longtime Brooklyn resident, I have been reading The
Brooklyn Papers on a regular basis and have been particularly
pleased during the past several months at the inclusion of Barry’s
articles.
It is a pleasure to read a dining column that is both intelligently
written and sufficiently tempting to send the readers in search
of the restaurants reviewed. Barry’s articles have succeeded
on both counts and have given me, and I should imagine many other
readers, a list of new places to explore in Brooklyn.
Thank you for publishing these articles. I look forward to reading
much more from Tina Barry in the future.
Holy day or Hallmark day?
To the editor:
Tina Barry should do her homework before she writes an article
about a Catholic Saint ["Have
a heart," GO Brooklyn, Feb. 11, 2002]. People take offense
to others making a Catholic Saint holy day a non-religious day.
Editor’s note:
In Tina Barry’s "Have a heart"
story, she wrote, "For a family like mine, who celebrate
few holidays the thought of celebrating a sentimental holiday
- that had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with
love - was appealing."
According to Frank DeRosa, communications director of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens, Valentine’s Day is not
a holy day.
The holiday however, is named for Saint Valentine, who was martyred
circa 269 in Rome and his relics later transferred to the church
of Saint Praxedes, according to Catholic Forum Online, www.catholic-forum.com.
