Where to eat pizza outdoors in NYC
I usually hate when publications peg their content to things that happen every year at a given time (Memorial Day grilling articles are the worst), but I was thinking about a couple recent trips to L&B Spumoni Gardens and what a magical place it is at dusk on a not-too-hot summer night. So, voilà, SUMMER JAMS, PIZZA EDITION! Continue reading Where to eat pizza outdoors in NYC
Joe Junior makes a fantastic cheeseburger
It’s always good to have an inside scoop on the things that matter, like burgers. Take Joe Junior. The first and only time I’d had it before today, I thought it was overhyped. But I recently learned you have to ask for it cooked with salt and WITHOUT THE PLANCHA. (It doesn’t hurt to order it medium-rare, either.) Continue reading Joe Junior makes a fantastic cheeseburger
At NY Pizza Suprema, I finally find a ricotta slice I love

Rizzo’s: Fine pizza in Astoria and on the LES
Rizzo’s Fine Pizza serves what it calls a “thin-crust Sicilian.” Sometimes it seems closer to a grandma-style pizza, but I’m not going to quibble. Bottom line is it’s a unique and delicious slice. Continue reading Rizzo’s: Fine pizza in Astoria and on the LES
Weekly Pizza Lunch: Adrienne’s Pizza Bar
Adrienne’s Pizza Bar — or is it Pizzabar? I don’t know. Regardless, it’s making one of the best grandma/nonna pizzas in NYC today. Of course at Adrienne’s, they call it the “old fashioned.” Whatever. All you need to call it is DELICIOUS. I don’t get to Adrienne’s often enough, because it’s a bit much to … Continue reading Weekly Pizza Lunch: Adrienne’s Pizza Bar
