Best pizza in NY. Be prepared to wait. Check to see if they are shut down by the health department or tax collectors before going. Get the square pie with pepperoni and hot peppers.

Empty, but not abandoned, this cavernous Brooklyn loading dock was once considered the largest individual building in the world.

I can never decide if I like pies or thighs more. Figure it's not the worst problem to have. Chicken biscuit is so good it should be listed as a narcotic. If you live in NYC and you haven't been, GO! If you are visiting and you find yourself in Williamsburg, GO!

Here's what the world used to look like.

This is my favorite bar in the city: original cocktails, an unpretentious crowd and live jazz.
