So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Where Will I Find The Best Pizza NYC Has To Offer?

By Jaclyn Hurley


Do you think of cheese steaks when you think of Philly, or burritos when you think of Los Angeles? People thinks of certain foods in association with certain cities. Chances are, when you hear "New York City, " you think of pizza.

It's hard to find someone who does not like the cheesy, saucy, herby deliciousness of a good pie. The variety of toppings makes it easy to adapt to all kinds of tastes. Because there are so many variations, It is difficult for people to come to a consensus when trying to decide which is best. If you are looking for the best pizza nyc has to offer, you will get a lot of different opinions.

One way that people often make decisions about "best of" lists in New York is to divide the options by neighborhood. Each area of the city has a unique character, and the restaurants there often reflect the neighborhood's history and/or its current population. One thing you can find in almost any neighborhood, however, is pizza.

Here are some suggestions for finding great pizza in a few different New York neighborhoods. From corner slice-joints to fancy, artisinal places, you will find countless options in every neighborhood. Try out some different places, but be sure not to miss these gems.

Lower East Side: Rosario's. Many a drunken college student will sing the praises of the bacon cheeseburger slice and the Sophia slice. This pie is just as delicious if you are sober, though. Rosario's has stood the test of time, lasting through the gentrification of the Lower East Side. It opened in 1963!

DiFara, Midwood, Brooklyn. This place is legendary not only for its pizzas, but also for its owner, Don DeMarco, who makes the pies with his own hands. People travel from all over the city to Midwood, and often have to wait in line until DeMarco decides to show up and open the restaurant!

Grimaldi's, DUMBO, Brooklyn. Grimaldi's has expanded to many states, including New Jersey and Arizona, since opening this original location, but this one remains the most well-known. Lines often form outside to the restaurant to experience the "secret recipe" of the dough used to make the delicious coal-fired brick oven crust.

Crown Heights, Brooklyn: Barboncino. This place has been around for only a few years, arriving with a barrage of restaurants on Franklin Avenue that cater to a quickly gentrifying population. Regardless of the reasons that brought it to the neighborhood, Barboncino is a delight. Their thin-crust, brick oven pizzas boast a plethora of toppings (the cremini mushroom and fennel sausage is particularly good) and their cocktails are not to be missed, either.

Flushing, Queens: Lucia. Flushing's population is primarily Asian, so pizza might not be the first thing you think of in association with this area. However, Lucia has a great slice that will satisfy pizza fans. Not too oily, with a slightly sweet sauce and a crust that is perfectly crisp without being inflexible, these pies are simple perfection.

You could eat different slices every day of the week in any given New York neighborhood, and lots of places have fans who would name them among the best. These are just a few suggestions!
