Really wanted to try out John's of Bleeker st after central park yesterday, but everyone was exhausted and it would have added an extra half hour to our trip, so we ended up at Louie & Ernie's in the Bronx which was on our way back to where we're staying. It got great reviews, some places saying it's easily the best NY style pie in the Bronx.

All I can say is we were very underwhelmed. It lacked flavor, definitely not enough sauce. Ultimately we ended up adding some of our own sauce on top along with garlic powder and some chili pepper flakes to give it more flavor. Not a great first impression....

Damn, please don't let that be what you take back home as what a NY slice tastes like.

Yeah I plan to give another place a try… and… if the kids allow it… venture into Brooklyn.

Whoops. Not typical NYC pizza. Sorry for the experience. It's a reason to return for another visit!

Honestly the Freedom Tower was the highlight of my trip when I was in NYC a few years ago. It is a very surreal experience going all the way to the top in the elevator (you get dizzy when you get out bc it goes so fast) and the view from the top is the best view you will see in your life. It makes the space needle seems like a kid's toy.

Are you still over here?

I am... checking out the museum of natural history today... grabbing a cookie from Levain bakery, then having some Thai food close to my sister's place up in the Bronx.

Avoid the subways...seems to be random acts of violence everyday on there.

That's my neighborhood. Did you see the matte blue/purple F90 in front of the Shake Shack right behind the museum around 1pm? If so that was me!

Yeah daughter seemed to enjoy it. She kept asking why the animals weren’t moving

Thanks again for the suggestion, definitely a great activity for rainy day.

This thing is pretty slow… I’m not sure what the “A Spec” is suppose to represent but it ain’t sporty. Our base X5 could run circles around it and with a much nicer interior.

It does look good though.

Delucia's in Raritan really is wiiiiiiiiiiiild good.

I still like DiFara more, probably because of familiarity and history but Delucia's is neck-in-neck.

[wtwo3]

Well I finally was able to make it over to Brooklyn and tried Di Fara. I have to say... WAY better than that Louie & Ernie's place. Pizza was great, had really good flavor, plenty of sauce and cheese. Now I can leave NYC saying I had great pizza. Still prefer Chicago style though






We wanted to check out the Summit, but I guess it's closed on Tuesdays? So we headed over to Hudson Yard to check out the view from "The Edge". Definitely some spectacular views.
