A Tale Of 2 Pizzas..............

Politics aside, it is the best. Patsy's in Harlem takes 2nd in my book.

Getting lunch for $5 (plus one dollar for a can soda) in NYC is not that outrageously expensive. Go to any McDonald, you will need to shell out more than $7 for a value meal.

I vote for Joes or Johns margarita pizza and both near bleeker street

Arturo's on Houston for brick.
Joe's on Carmine for regular.
And VIP pizza on bell blvd in bayside for sicilian.

Still cant get the stoned deadhead youthful pic of De Blasio out of my head.
Grew up with a few and some are great friends but the prospect of one running NYC is quite scary.

This boy is baked!

boy looks completely normal for a guy his age at the time of the picture.

not sure where you get stoned deadhead from the pic--thanks for the heads up not to vote for one of your stoner friends.

Wow, look at those eyes. Fried.

I didn't mean to get anyone's political panties in a bunch.

Im 5 years younger than Bill,just saying he looks completely normal for a stoner deadhead from my time.

BAKED!

I just went to papajohns.com and assembled a $31 pie in about fifteen seconds. That's papajohn's: cheap, chain-store pizza. I doubt anyone ever pays that price, but still...

truthskr: No button-down shirts for deadheads.
Tie dye + holding up stinky index finger = stoner deadhead.

Joe's on Carmine. Absolutely the best. When I come to New York, I make it a game to eat as many slices from as many different places -- all recommended by New Yorkers in the know -- and Joe's wins hands down. I know it doesn't look like much -- so thin you can practically see through it -- but my God, the taste. I'd give anything for a slice now.

Joes is solid for a "slice" but can't compare to Di Faras (or many others mentioned here, I love Joes-just a different animal), which is in another league. Also Joes moved a few doors down after they lost there lease, same ovens but they just never got them right after the move. Close though.

"their"

Have to give an honorable mention to a place from the late 90s long closed, Le Streghe on west broadway and grand.
But it was always 4am and alcohol infused so maybe Im giving the pizza caliber there too much credit.

The honorable thing for Warren to have done would have been to keep his given last name. Changing it because he disrespected his father being a suffering disabled World War II combat veteran is pretty low.

truth, yes though button-down shirts were fairly requisite for school picture day.

Is anyone familiar with the details of de Blasio's plan to invest 1 billion of NYC pension funds in affordable housing? There is mention of this plan in his website but no details. See http://www.billdeblasio.com/issues/affordable-housing

truthskr: O.K., button-down shirts were the norm for school picture day.

However real "Deadheads" started showing their tie-dye stripes at The Fillmore East in 1968.
The "San Francisco Sound" fans traveled across the USA and they were there at the Fillmore East.
If you look at Fillmore East footage/photos, you can see them starting to reveal themselves in 1968.

A few showed-up for the opener: Janis Joplin/Big Brother. Others followed the Doors, next up.
The Who followed the Doors (and their audience showed/dressed in the U.K. flags and colors).
More "San Francisco Sound" bands followed: Butterfield, Mothers of Invention.
Then Bill Graham put "Traffic" on the bill for two nights. Back to the U.K. look.

Traffic was followed by Jefferson Airplane for two nights, wherein the tie-dye was starting to really
take its place in the audience and the East Village.
By the time the Grateful Dead/Jeff Beck played at the Fillmore East (in June) the Deadheads were there in full colors.
By the time Jefferson Airplane returned in July: the San Francisco Sound and look had arrived in New York.

You are too young to have been there. I was there as a very young neighborhood kid and the Fillmore East was my daily hang-out, after school.

I've often discussed the emergence of the "Deadheads" with various members of The Grateful Dead.
We all agreed that the original migration took place, from "the West down to the East", during the early Fillmore East concerts.

"Deadheads" back then were those who went on the road to see Dead concerts.

Most didn't have "school pictures" because they didn't show up for "school picture day".

They drove around the USA. to follow the Grateful Dead (and many also followed Jefferson Airplane).
They followed the Dead to Europe in 1972.
I still see some of them at Dead/Further shows, as well as Jorma Kaukonen's shows with Hot Tuna.
Jorma and I know many of them, by name and although they went on to actually work, they still attend concerts
(many bring their kids with them).

So the question is: Does Bill De-Bla have any photos of himself in "completely normal Deadhead" gear?
That photo, if it exists; will be the money-shot, for whomever digs it up out of their old photo album.

To get the best pizza, you'll have to go to all the way out to LaGaurdia Airport. From there, take a flight to Chicago.

and I assume there is a connecting flight to Naples or something?

Anyone familiar with a place on Broadway at approximately 110th?? It's called Carmine's, and evidently the same little old Italian man has been baking the pies for ages. My friend who lives at 125th and Broadway swears by it, and doesn't like Joe's at all. I'll have to search for it when I come for my annual Christmas trip.

Chicago pizza isn't better than New York pizza and certainly not better than the pizza in Naples.
Naples has the best pizza, made with the best mozzarella di bufala, produced on farms in Campania.

Is Bill De-bla's grandfather from that provence in Italy or one of the others that farm domestic water buffalo
(Puglia, Isernia )? "Buffalo milk mozzarella" is beloved in Italy, although not farmed throughout.
Does Bill De-bla even know the name of his "grandfather's provence in Italy"?

Why don't you ask your famous friends? One of them certainly has the answer.

Bill De-bla? Grow up already. And who really cares whether or not a politician likes a particular type of cheese from a particular province. Or likes a particular food, restaurant, or pays a few dollars extra for pizza. Seriously, I guess no politicians should enjoy a high-end sushi meal without scorn.

My goodness aboutready!

Agree with aboutready. Truth is THE bufala, anche una vera citrulla. Look it up....................

No. La vaca vieja.

Lupica: An over-the-top Bill de Blasio did not act like a front-runner in mayoral debate
In the first televised debate between New York City mayoral candidates, it was hard to know who the front-runner was given all the attacks launched by de Blasio.

"Getting lunch for $5 (plus one dollar for a can soda) in NYC is not that outrageously expensive. Go to any McDonald, you will need to shell out more than $7 for a value meal."

On Third Avenue in Midtown (high rent district vs. a** end of Bklyn) you get 2 slices and a Coke for $5.50.

A piece of work like De Blasio is a turd. A liar. Fired from the Clinton campaign, was making copies for Dinkins, and the the pinnacle - PUBLIC ADVOCATE. What the hell did he do all his life besides living off taxpayers'?

But there are still tons of working class NYers and others patronize and pay McDonald nearly $8 for their value meals everyday. I also think it is almost universally accepted to use McDonald prices to gauge a city's living expenses index. Otherwise, you can always find somewhere selling cheaper within the same food type.

About the polls: I am a democrat, do not know any republicans, know tons of democrats - non of us were contacted for any polls. Funny thing, all us democrats are for Lhota... De Blasio's base id ageing women who make any book written by a Clinton or an Obama into a bestseller.
Polling is a funny thing...

"What the hell did he do all his life besides living off taxpayers'?"

... so it's a problem when someone has a lifetime of progressively more experience in the field for which he's now candidate for a yet higher-level job? Let's make it policy in all sectors to only hire middle- and higher level employees who have no experience in the relevant field. Makes sense.

"Creative destruction", or some similarly stupid but more au courant MBA-trendy buzzword.

>a lifetime of progressively more experience in the field for which he's now candidate

what is the field you refer to?

To which field do you refer?

Good luck talking like that at the pizza joint in Brooklyn.

Truth, you are so repetitive. Dumb, stupid, ancient groupies for somebody other than "De Bla" who has not been identified.

De Bla, how utterly juvenile. And yes, that's a pejorative term.

Aboutready, what kind of NYer doesn't like pizza?

fieldschester:
9:45pm on a Thursday night and here she is, again. No need to read her comment: her hate, resentment, self-loathing. Trolling se for a fight, as usual.

Who doesn't like pizza? Truth? I love pizza, cheap, traditional, less traditional and the more expensive, all depending on the relative quality.

Truth, what's with the time references? You're here at exactly the same time.

Sadly I think you want a fight. You are not a worthy opponent. You're way too dull.

Is the pizza shaped like La Cattedrale Santa Maria del Fiore? Because she can have an hours-long date with just the slice of pizza, at 2AM local time. No problema!

^^^

Yay! Everyone likes Pizza.

Even Canadians who probably put Canadian bacon and kiwi on their pizza.

No! Her "friends" will arrive by 3 a.m. for dinner and that is SO common in the trendier cities of Europe. But she will probably have eaten the pizza.

Well, I agree with you, Europe < U.S.

fieldschester:
The bored, frustrated, unemployable alkie housewife is off on a rant.
Trolling day and night for fights on se is all she has to do. She claims to have friends, yet by her own admission they never visited her at her home in PCV while she lived in Manhattan. Now, she's stuck in Williamsburg, home alone without any friends, as usual.
Her life is so exciting on se, because se is the only place that will accept her angry rants.

I'm not sitting at home all night, waiting for her to post an angry comment, followed by another resentful comment. The same hateful self-loathing commentary from her, day after day, for the past 4 + years.
She has nothing else to do, nowhere else to go, nobody else to socialize with.
Her cursing will begin soon but I won't be here. I have a real life, outside se discussion boards.
If I'm away from se again for a month or several months, she will still be sitting at her computer hoping and waiting for me to return.

Can't we all agree: pizza = good.

No, trUth isn't sitting at home all night ... because soon it will be time for her to go out, from corner to corner, picking through the ashcans for good stubs of cigarettes, an old Post with coffee spills, the last quarter of a disgusting Chipotle "burrito", and maybe a zeroed out Metrocard for her collection if she's lucky.

Hey that sounds like fun, soon under new mayor de Bla

Sorry, your. I-pad..

I like that, self-aggrandizement. I'm going that to my son as his middle name.

I think you're missing a verb . Quit drinking so much. Alike.

Oh now aboutready, such a grammar stickler.

Damn. Alkie.

Riversider isn't an Alike. He's a Different. Very.

Riverside likes cream cheese. Me - lactose intolerant. Thanks ancestors.

tmi.

You're a liar -- cream cheese has less than a gram of lactose per two-tablespoon serving. Liar. Riversider! Kook!

[But it's very very expensive at Fairway these days.]

aboutready, you a fan of that Harvey Levin guy? He's a real lawyer, you know.

Oh, my apologies. TMI not TMZ.

The pizzas at CO. are soooooooo much better than the entire Arturo's/John's/John's/Patsy's/Lombardo/et al. group. Far and away the best pizza in NY.
