Lunch in New York

Uploaded by michaeldevito on Feb 4, 2007
This video means a lot to me for several reasons. First, and most obvious, the backdrop is the site of the 9-11 terrorist attacks against the United States as well as against the ideals of freedom. Second, I hold family and friends in the highest regards and this flight to New York was one of the few instances where I found myself with both my sister Ruthie and one of my best friends since high school, Dave the pilot/instructor, both of whom I rarely get the chance to spend any time with. Third, and least obvious, as a videomaker, it was important for me to do something special with this rather ordinary footage. I attempted to capture the feeling of loss as we flew over "ground zero" and at the same time, capture the beauty of flight, the beauty of my sister, and the general feeling of timelessness one experiences while in flight.
Mom does not like the idea of Ruthie flying with us in "dangerous" airplanes so we had to sneak her with us to New York.

I cannot figure out what kind of plane that is, I figured it was something recent (maybe a piper 6X) cause of that beautiful interior, and the panel with (garmin 530?). Then I saw the straight wing (so if a piper, pre 1970) and that yoke, its a single column split yoke!! (although the yoke looks distinctly beechcraft) I have no idea what it is and its driving me crazy. But its a really nice aircraft especially with that club seating.

We flew to New York around July for lunch at Barbetta, celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2006, it is the oldest restaurant in New York that is still owned by the family that founded it. Barbetta is also the oldest Italian restaurant in New York, and the oldest restaurant in New York's Theatre District. (thanks google)
