MaryQueenOfScotch Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Alas! My graduate department is hosting a Halloween party, so I will not be able to make it. Got to unroll My Cher's Career from 1970-1994 costume with style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draft0 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Okay, I decided: I need BWB more than I need sleep. Will be there at dinner and karaoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Great to have you along, draft. On another note, there's been some talk of perhaps changing plans, due to heretofore lackluster interest (to some extent), and doing a mini pizza tour instead. Background: A friend of mine posted a link on FB of the top 101 pizzas in the country. Since a great many of them are in the NY metro area, I thought about spending my last few weeks in the country visiting as many of them as possible. Maybe instead of karaoke, we go pizza-hopping in the city instead? Here's the link to the list. What do you folks think? Pizza or karaoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the potential options: Connecticut:1, Frank Pepe’s, New Haven, CT, White Clam Pie7, Sally’s Apizza, New Haven, CT, Tomato Pie11, Modern Apizza, New Haven, CT, Italian Bomb68, Alforno, Old Saybrook, CT, Margherita27, Colony Pizza, Stamford, CT, Sausage Pie Brooklyn:2, Di Fara, Brooklyn, NY, Di Fara Classic Pie6, Roberta’s, Brooklyn, NY, Margherita12, Totonno’s, Brooklyn, NY, Margherita13, Paulie Gee’s, Brooklyn, NY, Regina26, Grimaldi’s, Brooklyn, NY, Margherita47, Franny’s, Brooklyn, NY, Clam Pizza77, L&B Spumoni Gardens, Brooklyn, NY, Sicilian Slice88, Best Pizza, Brooklyn, NY, White Pizza95, Lucali, Brooklyn, NY, Pepperoni Manhattan:34, Patsy’s, East Harlem, NY, Cheese17, Co., New York, NY, Popeye44, Artichoke Basille, New York, NY, Artichoke Slice9, Motorino, New York, NY, Brussels Sprouts15, South Brooklyn Pizza, New York, NY, New York Style Pizza16, Kesté, New York, NY, Kesté25, John’s of Bleecker, New York, NY, Bruschetta35, Joe’s, New York, NY, Cheese43, Lombardi’s, New York, NY, Pepperoni52, Don Antonio by Starita, New York, NY, Montanara Starita73, Sullivan Street Bakery, New York, NY, Pizza Bianca Bronx, Queens, Staten Island:21, Zero Otto Nove, Bronx, NY, Margherita58, Louie and Ernie's, Bronx, NY, Sausage Pie63, Rizzo's Fine Pizza, Queens, NY, Pepperoni28, DeNino's Pizzeria and Tavern, Staten Island, NY, Sausage57, Joe & Pat's Pizzeria, Staten Island, NY, Vodka69, Nunzio’s, Staten Island, NY, Polly O I think we should either do Brooklyn or Manhattan on Saturday, and do the other maybe next weekend. We don't have to do each and every one of these, but we can start somewhere and then try to get as many as we can. I'm definitely planning on going to the Connecticut ones this Sunday, so whoever wants to join me can do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I don't have strong feelings either way. Manhattan is accessible to anyone with a Metrocard, although the subway can be a PITA. The Brooklyn locations run the gamut from "must have a car" (L&B Spumoni Gardens) to "FFS, abandon the car" (Franny's), depending on the neighborhood. All I will say is this: I've eaten at a number of the pizza places listed here. DiFara was the best. Like, I still dream about that goddamned pie, and I last ate one in 2007.

Turinqui-Calima Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm sill stuck in Sweden ( :bang: ) but you guys have fun and enjoy the pizza. Swedish pizza is still the best though. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 How about we do Brooklyn, since you know them best. Pick the ones that we can get to easily enough without a car. Pick a starting point and we meet there at, say, 5pm? I really want to eat at DiFara. I've heard only good things about that place. I'd probably drive there, leave my car someplace and then train/walk it the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hmmm. Mr. X will probably have strong opinions about this, but I'll toss this out there: We can try to hit something like Totonno's, L&B Spumoni Garden, DiFara and possibly Grimaldi's and Lucali's in a car or cars. Roberta's, I shit you not, delivers to our house. It also usually has a 2+ hour wait for a table, so unless you want to go there at 4pm (always possible), delivery will be the only way we're gonna get a pie from them. I think Franny's is probably OK to skip. It's good pizza, but it's not Roberta's or DiFara, and it doesn't have the fucked-up charm of L&B Spumoni Garden.

Frisco Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I volunteer to drive to Di Fara. Grimaldi's I think you can call ahead for takeout and will bypass the inevitable long wait, and we could eat in the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sounds like a real plan is starting to emerge. I can drive and take 4 others with me. I'll PM Etulftune, PC, and draft0 to make sure they're aware of the change. I know E and PC don't have a car; don't know about draft. (I hope they're still willing to join in.) PS: I'm going to be in Newark in the afternoon to visit an artist friend who has a show downtown. I planned on hitting the two Elizabeth spots and the Orange spot for lunch. More like brunch, actually, so that I don't get too full for dinner. (How the hell am I going to eat all this?) eta: Should we just do DiFara first? Where do we all meet? I can pick up E and PC on my way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'll add that Paulie Gee's is fairly easy to get to from our place (L train, transfer to G), walk a couple of blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauvka Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Just heard from Naz informing me of plan change. Its a shame to lose the karaeoke, though I'm sure the pizza will be delicious. Will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
