Food Scene
This is not your typical NYC pizza by the slice. In fact, it's more like an Italian restaurant with pizza than a pizza shop, but I've never had anything but pizza. The Diavola is my favorite....ever!

These little arepas are always dynamite. Do underestimate their size. They're quite filling and very tasty.

All I can say is wow. I've only been twice and both times were terrific. You leave pleasantly full and unpleasantly poor. Ha!

I've never been here before. Just get delivery. Their burgers are pretty amazing! The Italian fries are a good upgrade from the regular fries.

I prefer the mom and pop stores to the huge chain pharmacies, but CVS is 24 hrs and only a block and a half away if you need to get something at 3am.

Drinks & Nightlife
Tuesday nights 11pm-4am. Swingy-old-timey jazz. A constant rotating cast of top notch performers. At times you can see a line of bass players or horns or clarinetists wanting to play on the next song!

Pretty typical irish/sports bar. They have darts and two pool tables in the back.
If Niall is working be sure to say hello. I'm sure he'll have something funny to say.

The entrance to this place is unique. Make a reservation (212) 614-0386. You have to enter a hot dog stand and wait until you're called back. Then you enter through a secret door in a telephone booth!

Imran (the owner) has never steered me wrong. He has a knack for finding quality wines at reasonable prices. His staff are why I keep coming back.
