A few of the blogs I read post weekly round-ups of links the blogger likes, stuff they’re reading or things they think the readers would like, so I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and do the same. I do this to a lot of my friends anyway, bombaring their email inboxes with links to new restaurants I want to try and recipes I’ll never make but think look awesome. So here it is, the first in what I hope will be a weekly feature, my five for Friday food roundup. Hooray alliteration!

• One of the things I miss most about Italy are the fritelle di riso during Carnevale and Emiko’s make me want to eat my weight in them.

• As much as I’ll miss the West Village, I’m glad my new neighborhood come April, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, has fun places like Tørst opening left and right. Yay beer!

• Some people think tripe is gross. I, for one, don’t have a problem with tripe and think this wallet made out of it is actually pretty cool.

• Not sure where it’s gonna go in my new apartment, but I’m very excited about this pairing food and wine poster I bought.

• My friend Stas, a baker/cook/food-preparer extraordinaire, started a blog (Go Stas!) where she posts recipes for tasty eats like this awesome egg pie with Sriracha.
