Good luck finding anything with specific dates in mind. You need to be flexible to get awards most of the time.

Just wanted to post up the teudah from cantina Giuliano restaurant.
During the week the food is all dairy (reservations are required) and is delicious.
For Shabbat, Eli does take away for people in the area, hence the 2 teudahs.

For a JFK>CDG>FLR (and opposite) flight, will the bags automatically be transferred or do they need to be picked up and rechecked?

That depends on your level of kashrus. Ask your local kashrus authority for someone they trust in Italy and narrow it down from there.
