hoverboard sales 02Amazon is offering refunds on all hover boards sold on their website. This is due to the many fires breaking out from the product overheating. As of now, the fires are being investigated to see if they can't solve the problem and recall the hover boards. The company is also investigating the injuries from these boards due to the seriousness of them. The CPSC has investigated 39 cases of the fires, multiple while charging. This resulted into the suspicion that the lithium ion battery gets too hot. Fond the link to this article here.

Blog Post Assessment

     My favorite restaurant is Giovanni Rana in New York City. You can find the link to their homepage here. It is located on 75 9th Ave in the city. Rana is in the Chelsea Market, and has direct access to the High Line.
Giovanni Rana is an authentic Italian restaurant. Making fresh pasta everyday, they're known as one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. See how the critics rave here. I enjoy this restaurant because I love Italian food, and they make the best ravioli and pasta I've ever had. Some of my favorite dishes there include tagliatelle alla bolognese and the spinach and ricotta ravioli. They're also well known for their salads and freshly made garlic bread. Find videos on how they create delicious dishes below.
Some of the greatest benefits of eating at Giovanni Rana is all of the other products and services they offer. Some of these services include catering, freshly made pasta that can be purchased at the restaurant or at your local grocery store. As well as their cooking class, where one can sign up to learn how to make their famous pastas, ravioli, and dessert ravioli.
The name of the restaurant is actually named after the owner of the eatery, Giovanni Rana. Rana descends from Verona, Italy. He was well known for his fresh pasta, and still is today, but in the United States. 
If Giovanni Rana was to ever close, I would most likely go to Maggiano's because it is a similar restaurant. I eat there occasionally because it is closer to me than Giovanni Rana. Maggiano's home page can be found here.
