At this Roman restaurant, patrons lick the plates clean and bark for more

"ROME — On a recent, rainy autumn night, my canine companion Sherlock and I found a welcome moment of respite from the challenging Roman street life in a comfortable new restaurant — quite unique in town and across the country — appropriately named Fiuto, the Italian word for sniff.

The brand new joint for four-legged customers, and their fellow bipeds, opened last month in the area of Ponte Milvio, a neighborhood famous for its more human nightlife. Yet its own particular formula sets it apart from the others, in a town where eating is on the more formal side and tradition often trumps novelty.

The interior design seems inspired by a modernized take on Art Deco and radiates posh vibes. But the elements of cool are tempered by the warm and cuddly floor-level seating arrangements for 12 canine patrons and their escorts — with fluffy oval mats lying next to marble tables, fancy ceramic bowls and high-end Panna water bottles on the side.

By centering the experience on the pets themselves, Fiuto goes well beyond the “dog friendly” options found in so many cities."

Biden's Crime Problem: Violent Crime is Down, but Voters Don't Believe it

"Violent crime is dropping in most major American cities, but voters nationwide still think crime is on the rise.

That's a problem for President Joe Biden's re-election campaign, as Republicans are gearing up to use the issue as a central attack against the president, seizing on voter fears about violent crime even as federal data show almost all kinds of crime are falling nationally.

Republicans, aided by conservative outlets like Fox News and others, have long focused on crime, particularly rising rates in urban areas dominated by Democrats and flashy crime rings that have overwhelmed security at department stores to steal thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. But Republican attacks on Biden have taken on a new edge, aimed particularly at convincing voters that the crime rates in urban areas are a precursor to what will be felt across the country if Biden is reelected."
