Sorry to hear it, but when I hear “Ray’s”, I think of “Famous Ray’s” on 6th Ave, around 10th Street or so. Lots of pizzerias named “Ray’s” or some variation in NYC.

JERRY IN HIS APARTMENT/KRAMER IN A PHONE BOOTH
KRAMER: ...I’m lost downtown! I don’t have any money. I don’t recognize anybody. I miss home,
and I don’t even know how to get there.
JERRY: What’s around you?
KRAMER: I’m lookin’ at Ray’s Pizza. You know where that is?
JERRY: Is it Famous Ray’s?
KRAMER: No. It’s Original Ray’s.
JERRY: Famous Original Ray’s?
KRAMER: It’s just Original, Jerry!
JERRY: Well, what street are you on?
KRAMER: Hey, I’m on first and first. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.
I don’t know if non-New Yorkers can appreciate the tragedy of losing a place like this. It’s like losing Luchow’s. It’s not just a restaurant, it’s part of NYC history. But since we’re perched on the brink of losing the country, what’s one restaurant.
Never been there but I’m sure it’s probably New York Style......u know. Thin crust. The best. Keep that Chicago thick crust where you have get through a loaf of bread before you get to the good stuff.
New York Style anyday! Just ask Tony and I think “Lenny’s” is still there:
