I usually do when I make my short visits back. <BR/><BR/>Seriously though, I have a whole list of pizzeria's broken down by boro in an old post (only one to add to that is the one mentioned in "Be it ever so humble..." and that is Francesco's in Brooklyn, on Union I think , near Henry... )... coffee and a buttered roll from one of the silver coffee trucks... a nice night out at F.illi Ponte... NY's Best Deal- 2 dogs and a Papaya drink at Gray's Papaya on 72nd and Broadway...stop in at an Irish bar somewhere, anywhere and have a Yuengling on tap... did I mention pizza??... walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in the afternoon and go to Grimaldi's (under the Bridge on the Brooklyn side)- if its too crowded to sit, take it out to the platform on the harbor and soak up the incredible view of my City... when you're done, hit the little 'house' for some ice cream (can't miss it)... have a Manhattan Special (be warned, they are addictive- I started on those when I was no taller than a johnny pump and now I've been drinking them for almost 30 yrs)... bread- any kind of locally baked bread- Bagels (post on those too- with a couple of good locations), rolls, anything warm with a crisp outside and a soft steamy inside... the Olive Tree on MacDougal (always had great schwarma when I went there and good for 'sightings' as the local talent from the Comedy Cellar downstairs usually congregate at the bar)... some pastry (D'Lillo on 187th and Arthur if you make it to the Bronx or Rocco's in the City on Bleeker)... ok- enough aleady- my mouth is watering and my stomach is grumbling... let me know how it goes- always anxious to hear about home.<BR/><BR/>Johnny TJohnny Tomatoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101205850213096248noreply@blogger.com
