What's the topic today at Courtney's corner.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, we're learning how to make Grinch punch. This is
great for Christmas parties. First, you put lime Schubert in
a punch bowl, add equal parts sprite and pineapple juice.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Top it all off.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
With Hawaiian punch, but make sure it's the green colored one.
And if you want to give it an adult twist,
just add some pineapple ram and I'm sure you would
add some tequila in there.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You ad tequila to everything exactly along with rom and VODK.
I throw in the.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Works down to Aquila Tequila.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yes, that is a delicious sounding punch, A cute Yes,
I like it.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Tabby howadays from the entire on with Mario fam more
Festive Fun coming.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Up, Sebyromaro, Courtney Lopez and Fraser. What were you just saying?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
So when I work out in the mornings, I've been
going through all these like Apple playlists that they put together,
and someone were like rock hits from nineteen seventy three,
like by year, or it's one hit Wonders by decade,
which I just started, and the one that I listened
to this morning was one Hit Wonders of the nineties. Okay,
but I think there's a problem with this list and
that the first four artists, which is where I stopped, I.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Don't believe or one hit Wonders. You tell me if
you think they are okay.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
The first one was Vanilla Ice Well, I Ice Ice
Baby obviously is a song.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
No, it's a huge monster hit, monster hit. Did he
have sort of like a someone baby hit? He might
have had a baby hit.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
He was on the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles two soundtrack
with Go Ninja.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Go Yes, but that wasn't on the charts. I okay,
there was one more play that funky music he cover,
but that was just that a cover or actually Ice
Ice Baby was also David Bowie. But yeah, I still
think because his monster hit was just that's so big
he's thought of. Okay, all right, so that one questionable, Okay.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
The second one MC Hammer No way, No.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He's got a lot of hits, a lot of hits.
Pumps in a bump, pumps in a No he's got
and oh no, no, no he's this, don't heard him hammer? No, no, no,
mc hammer No.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
This list is very questionable.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
The third on the lit was Hanson, which I thought like, okay, maybe,
but again they had.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Such a big monster hit it's almost overshadowed.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was the thing about Hammer, what the criteria was.
But going back with Hammer, there's not one hit like,
oh you just think of Hammer because of this one song.
He's got a bunch of songs. Yeah, don't hurt him,
have her, there's fun. There's a bunch of songs. Yeah,
that's a weird time.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
And then the fourth one, the fourth one was the Cranberry's,
which they had Linger and Zombie at least, so there's two.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, those are two. That's not a one hit. Dang,
this this.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Is hards together. But they don't know music no more.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Stanley Tucci's got to be sixty six sixty five sixty.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Five Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You're all Mario Lopez and coming up just after the
top of the hour, we got TV host, journalists and
author Debbie Mattnopolist stopping by. She's got a new cookbook
out and working with this great company to help people
to care the elderly people in their lives. A little
bit more music, and we're going to come back with Debbie.
So I ain't te tebyone. Mario Lopez joining me right
(07:27):
now in studio, TV host, journalists and author, My buddy,
Debbie Matt Napolist. Howre you going, Debbie Mara, Good.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
To see you.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Nice to see you too. All right, so this is
pretty cool. You partnered up with the Nomo Smartcare system,
which is designed to help people out and caring for
elderly folks. Really, right, what exactly does the system do?
I mean, not even just elderly folks, I think anyone.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
If you look, if if you have the good fortune
of living long enough, at some point you're going to
end up being in a caregiving position. And that's why
I partnered with these guys, because had I had this
when I was caregiving for my I left Hollywood, like
probably at the height of my career. I mean some
would say it was when I was on E and
everything was you know, pop in and I left because
(08:08):
my dad got diagnosed with als and I went back
to Virginia to take care of him, and I spent
three years there being as caregiver. You don't realize you're
a caregiver until you step out of the position and
you go, oh, I guess I was a caregiver.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You just think you're being a good kid. You think
you're doing what you would do for your parents.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
So if I had had this kind of technology, then
it would have alleviated so much stress on me. It
would have allowed my father to have a little more autonomy.
So basically, no, most of oart care is this new technology.
It's this great app where they have these tags and
these little satellites and this hub that lives in your parents'
(08:46):
house or in your aging level ones house, or maybe
someone who's living with a long term illness, or even
someone who's NERD divergent. You know, someone who may be
on the spectrum is well enough to live alone, but
still need some help, you know what I mean. So
you put these little tags on their bedroom door on
the refrigerator, and they're so you don't see them. They're
super discreet. They almost look like a like backgam in tabs.
(09:06):
That's what Mom said.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
She goes, why you put the backgammon thing on my door.
I'm like, it's not, Mom.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
It's so. They're like motion sensors. So if your mom
wakes up every day at eight thirty in the morning,
you know what I mean. She goes down, she has
her breakfast. This thing learns the routines of your parents,
and suddenly she's not out of bed atay thirty. She
opens a bed of a door at ten. It gets
later and later, Oh, she has so the refrigerator door.
That's weird. Why is mom not eating? Even the back door,
(09:31):
the front door, whatever it is. The motion sensors.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
She usually is in the living room. This time she's
not walked in the living room.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Yeah, I can monitor what's happening and maybe get ahead
of something in case something does happen.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Like with my father, it was too late. I didn't
you know.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
I wish I had had it. So if I call
my mom's cell phone, she's not picking up the phone.
I call my sister, where's Mom? I called my brother,
where's Mom.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
I haven't spoken to her. I panic because I probably
have a little bit of PTSD from my father passing
in his illness. I can't find her. But with this
Nomo Smart Care app, I go on my phone and
it's right there.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't my mother in law living with me right now.
That's my and my aunt.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And they will continue too.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And that's how it was, which is great. No, and
this is a good piece of mind. All right, Debbie
hank tight, we got a bunch more to talk about
right after we place more music.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
You're all.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Mario Lopez got TV hosts and author Debbie Matt Knopplison
studio right now talking about this great caregiver product, the
Nomo Smart Care system that she's partnered up with. So
where the system alerts and it's brought to your attention,
then you just how do you go about? Then you
go about calling them? Where you can just go about.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Well, there's something called a family Circle. So you download
the app. It's super easy. It's a family circle. My
brother's on there, my sister's on there now. So this
thing learns the behavior of your loved one and it'll
tell you bam bam, bam bam, this happened, This is happening,
this didn't happen. If there's a problem, you can speak
through the hub so I can say, oh my gosh,
and I can talk to mom.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Are you okay?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was like a little intercom. Yeah, oh I like
that from Lah.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
That's about that age. And it can also alert nine
one one if it needs to. Yeah, do you know
what I mean? So that's great. All right, hang time
quick break. We're going to come back with some more Debbie.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
More Mario Lopez coming.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Up, all of Maria Lopez. We're hanging out with TV
hosts and author Debbie Matt Knopoliz talking all about caregiving
for the elderly, which is very cool and Debbie, they
say over fifty three million Americans are involved in caregiving
besides the no MO smart Care. What are some tips
you think you've learned from your experience.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Well, I think it's super important to make sure that
your loved one who is living alone has meal plans
like they forget to eat. Make sure somebody in the
neighborhood if you or your your sisters and brothers are
not near around like there's not a family member or
loved one who's close. And trust a neighbor, somebody that
(11:48):
you have faith in. Give them a key to your hat,
to your mom's house, your dad's house. Make sure they
just do like a just a check in.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Every once in a while. Great tips, great tips. Yeah, No,
that is so important. And you're right, just those little
things can go a long way and give you a
piece of mind, and give them a piece of mind,
and anything goes south. I like that. That's very cool. Nice,
All right, Debbie, I want to talk about your new
cookbook in a few right after we get back to
the music. You're all Mario Lopez, TV hosts and author
(12:15):
Debbie Matt k Noblist hanging out in the studio with
me and Debbie over the summer. We were talking about
your cookbook that you released, Wish. Yeah. I tasted some
of the dishes that are really good. Do you do
you have a favorite fall dish coming out? A favorite
fall dish? Wow? Okay, Well, I mean, Mario, I love
a lamb chop. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Lamb chops are my love and my daughter used to
call them lamb lollipops when she was little, and I
know that a lot of people Lamb can be polarizing,
let's be honest. But I'm here to say, give Lamb
a chance. It's polarizing. You speak to Britz and they're like,
I hate Lamb. I'm like, it's because you ate Lamb
at your private school and they made it disgusting.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
If you eat a creek. Lam not exactly known for
their for their cuisine, cuisine, They're really delicious out there.
Yeah that's good.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Okay, okay, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to
make a Lamb taco for you next time.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Down with that. I bet that would be good. Is
there such a thing? No? You can talk about anything
there is now the sounds amazing, some some yummy jelly
on it with someone that zekey, what.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Do you mean?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, everything on as like as much stuff
as you can pile on. All right, Dad, I want
to talk about these Real Housewives rumors involving you as well,
but first got to get back to them.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Mario Lopez here hanging out with TV hosts and author
Debbiett novelist This Hour and uh with some of the
rumors about possibly joining the Real Housewives.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Gosh, this is going to follow me around for the
rest of my life, you know. At first, I was like,
what the hell do these people want with me. I'm
not going to flip a table. I'm not going to
cost anyone out. And then all my friends were like,
it's because you're so honest that you don't have to
cuss anyone out. You're just going to tell them the
truth and not even try to mean to hurt their feelings.
But it's going to be good TV. And I was like,
(13:59):
I know know, and they were like, you're just too
honest for your own good.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So I did this whole thing.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
I went down the road with them, and in the end,
I think they went in a different direction, which was great.
They went with with Rachel Zoe, so I think that's
going to be super interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But I'm I've been on.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Hallmark for ten years, Like I make cakes for a
living and I'm a nice girl.

table flipper, but be like, guys, come on, we're all

great for Christmas parties. First, you put lime Schubert in
a punch bowl, add equal parts sprite and pineapple juice.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Top it all off.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
With Hawaiian punch, but make sure it's the green colored one.
And if you want to give it an adult twist,
just add some pineapple ram and I'm sure you would
add some tequila in there.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You ad tequila to everything exactly along with rom and VODK.
I throw in the.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Works down to Aquila Tequila.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yes, that is a delicious sounding punch, A cute Yes,
I like it.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Tabby howadays from the entire on with Mario fam more
Festive Fun coming.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Up, Sebyromaro, Courtney Lopez and Fraser. What were you just saying?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
So when I work out in the mornings, I've been
going through all these like Apple playlists that they put together,
and someone were like rock hits from nineteen seventy three,
like by year, or it's one hit Wonders by decade,
which I just started, and the one that I listened
to this morning was one Hit Wonders of the nineties. Okay,
but I think there's a problem with this list and
that the first four artists, which is where I stopped, I.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Don't believe or one hit Wonders. You tell me if
you think they are okay.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
The first one was Vanilla Ice Well, I Ice Ice
Baby obviously is a song.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
No, it's a huge monster hit, monster hit. Did he
have sort of like a someone baby hit? He might
have had a baby hit.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
He was on the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles two soundtrack
with Go Ninja.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Go Yes, but that wasn't on the charts. I okay,
there was one more play that funky music he cover,
but that was just that a cover or actually Ice
Ice Baby was also David Bowie. But yeah, I still
think because his monster hit was just that's so big
he's thought of. Okay, all right, so that one questionable, Okay.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
The second one MC Hammer No way, No.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He's got a lot of hits, a lot of hits.
Pumps in a bump, pumps in a No he's got
and oh no, no, no he's this, don't heard him hammer? No, no, no,
mc hammer No.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
This list is very questionable.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
The third on the lit was Hanson, which I thought like, okay, maybe,
but again they had.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Such a big monster hit it's almost overshadowed.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was the thing about Hammer, what the criteria was.
But going back with Hammer, there's not one hit like,
oh you just think of Hammer because of this one song.
He's got a bunch of songs. Yeah, don't hurt him,
have her, there's fun. There's a bunch of songs. Yeah,
that's a weird time.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
And then the fourth one, the fourth one was the Cranberry's,
which they had Linger and Zombie at least, so there's two.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, those are two. That's not a one hit. Dang,
this this.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Is hards together. But they don't know music no more.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Five Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You're all Mario Lopez and coming up just after the
top of the hour, we got TV host, journalists and
author Debbie Mattnopolist stopping by. She's got a new cookbook
out and working with this great company to help people
to care the elderly people in their lives. A little
bit more music, and we're going to come back with Debbie.
So I ain't te tebyone. Mario Lopez joining me right
(07:27):
now in studio, TV host, journalists and author, My buddy,
Debbie Matt Napolist. Howre you going, Debbie Mara, Good.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
To see you.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Nice to see you too. All right, so this is
pretty cool. You partnered up with the Nomo Smartcare system,
which is designed to help people out and caring for
elderly folks. Really, right, what exactly does the system do?
I mean, not even just elderly folks, I think anyone.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
If you look, if if you have the good fortune
of living long enough, at some point you're going to
end up being in a caregiving position. And that's why
I partnered with these guys, because had I had this
when I was caregiving for my I left Hollywood, like
probably at the height of my career. I mean some
would say it was when I was on E and
everything was you know, pop in and I left because
(08:08):
my dad got diagnosed with als and I went back
to Virginia to take care of him, and I spent
three years there being as caregiver. You don't realize you're
a caregiver until you step out of the position and
you go, oh, I guess I was a caregiver.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You just think you're being a good kid. You think
you're doing what you would do for your parents.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
So if I had had this kind of technology, then
it would have alleviated so much stress on me. It
would have allowed my father to have a little more autonomy.
So basically, no, most of oart care is this new technology.
It's this great app where they have these tags and
these little satellites and this hub that lives in your parents'
(08:46):
house or in your aging level ones house, or maybe
someone who's living with a long term illness, or even
someone who's NERD divergent. You know, someone who may be
on the spectrum is well enough to live alone, but
still need some help, you know what I mean. So
you put these little tags on their bedroom door on
the refrigerator, and they're so you don't see them. They're
super discreet. They almost look like a like backgam in tabs.
(09:06):
That's what Mom said.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
She goes, why you put the backgammon thing on my door.
I'm like, it's not, Mom.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
It's so. They're like motion sensors. So if your mom
wakes up every day at eight thirty in the morning,
you know what I mean. She goes down, she has
her breakfast. This thing learns the routines of your parents,
and suddenly she's not out of bed atay thirty. She
opens a bed of a door at ten. It gets
later and later, Oh, she has so the refrigerator door.
That's weird. Why is mom not eating? Even the back door,
(09:31):
the front door, whatever it is. The motion sensors.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
She usually is in the living room. This time she's
not walked in the living room.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Yeah, I can monitor what's happening and maybe get ahead
of something in case something does happen.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Like with my father, it was too late. I didn't
you know.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
I wish I had had it. So if I call
my mom's cell phone, she's not picking up the phone.
I call my sister, where's Mom? I called my brother,
where's Mom.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
I haven't spoken to her. I panic because I probably
have a little bit of PTSD from my father passing
in his illness. I can't find her. But with this
Nomo Smart Care app, I go on my phone and
it's right there.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't my mother in law living with me right now.
That's my and my aunt.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And they will continue too.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And that's how it was, which is great. No, and
this is a good piece of mind. All right, Debbie
hank tight, we got a bunch more to talk about
right after we place more music.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
You're all.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Mario Lopez got TV hosts and author Debbie Matt Knopplison
studio right now talking about this great caregiver product, the
Nomo Smart Care system that she's partnered up with. So
where the system alerts and it's brought to your attention,
then you just how do you go about? Then you
go about calling them? Where you can just go about.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Well, there's something called a family Circle. So you download
the app. It's super easy. It's a family circle. My
brother's on there, my sister's on there now. So this
thing learns the behavior of your loved one and it'll
tell you bam bam, bam bam, this happened, This is happening,
this didn't happen. If there's a problem, you can speak
through the hub so I can say, oh my gosh,
and I can talk to mom.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Are you okay?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was like a little intercom. Yeah, oh I like
that from Lah.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
That's about that age. And it can also alert nine
one one if it needs to. Yeah, do you know
what I mean? So that's great. All right, hang time
quick break. We're going to come back with some more Debbie.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
More Mario Lopez coming.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Up, all of Maria Lopez. We're hanging out with TV
hosts and author Debbie Matt Knopoliz talking all about caregiving
for the elderly, which is very cool and Debbie, they
say over fifty three million Americans are involved in caregiving
besides the no MO smart Care. What are some tips
you think you've learned from your experience.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Well, I think it's super important to make sure that
your loved one who is living alone has meal plans
like they forget to eat. Make sure somebody in the
neighborhood if you or your your sisters and brothers are
not near around like there's not a family member or
loved one who's close. And trust a neighbor, somebody that
(11:48):
you have faith in. Give them a key to your hat,
to your mom's house, your dad's house. Make sure they
just do like a just a check in.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Every once in a while. Great tips, great tips. Yeah, No,
that is so important. And you're right, just those little
things can go a long way and give you a
piece of mind, and give them a piece of mind,
and anything goes south. I like that. That's very cool. Nice,
All right, Debbie, I want to talk about your new
cookbook in a few right after we get back to
the music. You're all Mario Lopez, TV hosts and author
(12:15):
Debbie Matt k Noblist hanging out in the studio with
me and Debbie over the summer. We were talking about
your cookbook that you released, Wish. Yeah. I tasted some
of the dishes that are really good. Do you do
you have a favorite fall dish coming out? A favorite
fall dish? Wow? Okay, Well, I mean, Mario, I love
a lamb chop. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Lamb chops are my love and my daughter used to
call them lamb lollipops when she was little, and I
know that a lot of people Lamb can be polarizing,
let's be honest. But I'm here to say, give Lamb
a chance. It's polarizing. You speak to Britz and they're like,
I hate Lamb. I'm like, it's because you ate Lamb
at your private school and they made it disgusting.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
If you eat a creek. Lam not exactly known for
their for their cuisine, cuisine, They're really delicious out there.
Yeah that's good.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Okay, okay, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to
make a Lamb taco for you next time.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Down with that. I bet that would be good. Is
there such a thing? No? You can talk about anything
there is now the sounds amazing, some some yummy jelly
on it with someone that zekey, what.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Do you mean?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, everything on as like as much stuff
as you can pile on. All right, Dad, I want
to talk about these Real Housewives rumors involving you as well,
but first got to get back to them.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Mario Lopez here hanging out with TV hosts and author
Debbiett novelist This Hour and uh with some of the
rumors about possibly joining the Real Housewives.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Gosh, this is going to follow me around for the
rest of my life, you know. At first, I was like,
what the hell do these people want with me. I'm
not going to flip a table. I'm not going to
cost anyone out. And then all my friends were like,
it's because you're so honest that you don't have to
cuss anyone out. You're just going to tell them the
truth and not even try to mean to hurt their feelings.
But it's going to be good TV. And I was like,
(13:59):
I know know, and they were like, you're just too
honest for your own good.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So I did this whole thing.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
I went down the road with them, and in the end,
I think they went in a different direction, which was great.
They went with with Rachel Zoe, so I think that's
going to be super interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But I'm I've been on.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Hallmark for ten years, Like I make cakes for a
living and I'm a nice girl.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
Might, you know, be a little bit wild, but I'm
a really nice girl.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So that's a different energy. It's a different energy.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
But then when I was talking there was like, we
need somebody who could be a kind of someone who
could be the voice of reason and not be the
table flipper, but be like, guys, come on, we're all
friends here, right, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So you know what, who knows? Who knows? Anything could
happen in the future.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
