well, you'd think all the food here would be great, right? I know I did. But I've been sooooo disappointed. Haven't found a good breakfast anywhere. Stage Door II has about the best cheeseburger around, but El Cap in St. Petersburg is eons better. Pizza, schmizza. Mediocre.
In fact, that really sums up my experience here, as regards food, fashion, and fad: mediocre. I'm really surprised about that, too.
Still love New York, though.

Well, I am glad you still love it and are mostly having a good time.

What are you on crack? NY has the best pizza in the world. Of course since the Hindus and Albanians have taken over the places in Manhattan, you have to look more, but even the sh-t pizza at places like Famous Famiglia are better than the crap I used to get in Chicago (although Gino's East was very good).

1. Get the hell out of Times Square.
2. Get yourself to Joe's, John's, Grimaldi's, Catania, Arturo's, etc. I can give you directions if you wish. Better yet, hop on the R down to Bay Ridge and try any of the pizzerias along 3rd Avenue. Vesuvio's is my favorite.
The problem with you transplants is that you go to the same crappy places as the tourists and that you never leave Manhattan (Williamsburg and Park Slope don't count).

been to grimaldi's under the bridge. I'll give you that -- it was awesome pizza, and the ice cream around the corner was pretty good. A friend was dragging me around to Park Slope Indian and Thai restuarants but, well, they don't serve great cheeseburgers.
I think maybe the food in Chicago is better.
I bristle at being called a "transplant." I rub shoulders with those morons all day and they really are a pain in the *ss.

It's not like I put ketchup on a hot dog. Heh. Out here in Oregon we have a Chicagoan who has a beef stand. One time I heard him telling a customer that he could give him a ketchup bottle, but he could not put ketchup on his hot dog.
Anyhow, I object to any cheese on an Italian Beef. :-)

I asked for ketchup in the Texas Chili Parlor once and the guy said "there is no ketchup in the building."

Then the guy I was there with said "if I ever have you over for chili and you put ketchup in it, I'll never have you over for chili again."

I saw Tony DiPardo last weekend still alive and kicking at age 93, incredible!

I lived in Chicago for two years, btw, and enjoyed it immensely. Chicago and New York are the only true cities in the U.S.
I'm not a cheeseburger guy, so I can't help you. My dad used to like the burgers at "21" but they are very pricey. For hot dogs, I have to say that, much as I loved Gold Coast and Demon Dogs in Chicago, none of those places DEEP FRY their hot dogs like Rutt's Hutt in Clifton, NJ. Ask Freeper Coleus for directions.

C'è 'na luna mezz'u mare
Mamma mia m'a maritare
Figlia mia a cu te dare
Mamma mia pensace tu
Se te piglio lu pesciaiole
Isse vai isse vene
Sempe lu pesce mane tene
Se ce 'ncappa la fantasia
Te pesculia figghiuzza mia
Là lariulà pesce fritt'e baccalà
Uei cumpà no calamare c'eggi'accattà

People are ridiculously sensitive about everything.
Tell them to take their heart off their sleeve and put it back where it belongs.
Geesh.
