Food Adventuring Around NYC
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. I think it’s safe to say Paulie Gee is the new Genaro Lombardi. If you know anything about NY pizza history, you know pizza pioneer Lombardi is responsible for the careers and subsequent openings of the pizzaioli behind Patsy’s, Totonno’s, and John’s. The relatively new …
For the third year in a row, I’m going to attempt to eat every single item on Time Out New York’s annual 100 Best Dishes list. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Let the gluttony continue… We started the new Time Out list right where we left off. It’s like the …
I’ve devoured Time Out’s 100 Best dishes and now, once again, I’ve been inspired to create my own list. These are the 100 dishes I have continued to think about since tasting them at some point in 2011. Look for another five dishes every few days. These are in no particular order. 30. LEMON BAR …
Once again Time Out New York released their Top 100 Dishes of the year and once again, I’m going to eat my way through every one. And no price point or subway delay will stop me. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. This year the end of the list came …
Once again Time Out New York released their Top 100 Dishes of the year and once again, I’m going to eat my way through every one. And no price point or subway delay will stop me. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Supermarkets tend to overwhelm me – especially the …
SADLY, 900 DEGREES IS NOW CLOSED. The last few times Jason Feirman of I Dream of Pizza put together a Pizza Club meeting, I was unavailable. Sunday nights might be best for people who work in the real world, but since I pay my bills working at a restaurant, those are generally not the best nights …
Every borough has its own pizza culture. Some (Brooklyn) more prominent and noteworthy than others (the Bronx). And while it may get overlooked very often, Staten Island gives Manhattan and Brooklyn a run for its money when it comes to pizza offerings. One highly regarded pizzeria out on Staten Island that I never made it …
SADLY, ENZO’S PIZZA IS NOW CLOSED. Those of you who have been following my blog for a while now, know that I’ve eaten my fair share of pizza. Of course, there was no way I could possibly taste every single pizza in the city on my search for the best pizza. So I continue to write …
If Time Out New York can do it, so can I. I’ve been inspired and satiated by Time Out’s 2009 Top 100 list and look forward to conquering their 2010 list very soon. But from now until the end of the year, I present my own Top 100 Dishes of the year in reverse order. …
SADLY, DONATELLA IS NOW CLOSED. I’ve written about Pizza Club quite a few times on this blog. And if you’ve been paying attention you know that Jason Feirman (of I Dream of Pizza) is the guy who organizes the monthly event. Well, in November I was very excited to try out a new spot that I …
Believe me, I have no problem eating from food carts or trucks. In fact, as many of you know, I give a tour of food carts twice a week with a company called Urban Oyster. So I know the in’s and out’s of how they are regulated and I know they’re just as clean as …

There’s a whole underbelly of pizza experts in New York. I can pretend to be an aficionado, but when it comes down to it, I’m just a pizza snob who happens to have his own blog. And web series. Don’t forget the videos, people! So when Jason Feirman of I Dream of Pizza picked Sac’s …
Paulie Gee is the man. Seriously. Paul Gianonne worked as an engineer but had a passion for pizza and dreamed of opening his own pizzeria one day. He became a presence on the NY pizza blogs and started inviting the pizza community over to his house in Jersey to try his homemade pizza. Brilliant idea. …
SADLY, CO. IS NOW CLOSED. I have been to Co. or Company three times now. And what’s so funny about that is, I don’t love it. There are so many restaurants in the city for me to try, so why do I repeat one of the more mediocre ones? It’s all part of the job, my …
For all intents and purposes, my pizza journey is over. Of course I couldn’t make it to every single pizzeria in the city and spots continue to open up every week. But I made my peace (piece?) with the pizza search and even wrote up a conclusion. Well, thanks to Jason Feirman and his Pizza …
I am so close to completing this list that any little screw-up or mishap makes me really nervous. Before we went to Motorino, the hip, over-hyped pizza shop, I checked their menus online. Time Out said that the Octopus Conserva was only available at the East Village location. However, upon inspection, I learned that the …
SADLY, PULINO’S IS NOW CLOSED. I was invited once again by Jason Feirman (I Dream of Pizza) to Pizza Club. I first joined the group a few months back at the classic coal oven joint Arturo’s. This month, we headed down Houston Street a bit to the other side of the pizza spectrum to sample the …
