Hotel in Novi.

THOSE RUSSIAN Nights by
Fiddler International Restaurant, on
Orchard Lake Road and Maple, are
getting to be a habit ... Like
December's beginning of the fun
evening with so much food and music
... January was also a sellout ... and so
is February ... The dates are now on
Sunday evening, with March 26 reser-
vations being taken.
THE RUMOR IS back again ...
that Ristorante Di Modesta on
Northwestern Hwy has been sold ... It
is still solely-owned by Manuel
Chavez, who comes here monthly
from Florida ... and operated by his
two sons, Chef Marco and Ricardo
Chavez, and Jaye Cooper.
GOOD EMPLOYEE Dept. ...
Maria Holzer, receptionist in the Ear,
Nose & Throat Department at Henry
Ford Medical Center on West Maple
in West Bloomfield ... She's got the
kind of courteous, efficient and likable
ways that people enjoy in her hectic
times at the busy front desk ... Maria
has been 11 years at the West
Bloomfield facility ... eight years at
Internal Medicine and three at ENT
... She came to America as a youngster
from Budapest, Hungary ... but
nobody calls Maria by her given name
of Marika.
COCO'S KORNER ... "Well, it's
finally here, at least in California.
People in Hillcrest can now take their
dogs out to eat. One of the restaurants
there, Terra Restaurant, with the near-
by Original Paw Pleasers dog and cat
bakery, now has a "Doggie Delicacies"
menu. Us dogs and our owners can
eat on the patio, sampling menu items
like pepperoni pizza, carob brownies
and 'bark la va.'
"And Terra also has begun promot-
ing 'Dog Day Tuesday,' so us playful
pooches can gather and socialize. And
as they get the word out about their
new menu, the restaurant is going to
start offering Doggie Brunch on
Sundays and hold special monthly
events, too.
"And how about this? ...
"L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, California,
bills itself as 'a hotel where you can
finally bring your whole family.'
"For a one-time charge of $150,
guests can bring their dogs and cats
and keep them in their rooms. Pets
even get a private walk each afternoon
by a valet. Now, that's class."
