I like how cooler it got after the rain. It made the walk home from Barnard quite comfortable. I love it and will miss it tomorrow.

Hey guys, I'm visiting NYC for about a week to do a campus visit for grad school. What food places should I hit up in my down time? I also really want some good pizza (lol). Also, any random tips on living there? I'm heavily considering it and I'd be moving from LA

Idk, neighborhood pizza is fraudulent these days. You'd have to go somewhere outside Manhattan at a local spot for some good stuff. As for like a pizza resturant spot, I hear Ops in Bushwick is good.

joe's pizza & baker's pizza in alphabet city are legit but yes the best pizza is probably in bklyn or jersey city rn

Lombardi's, Roberta's at Ubranspace Vanderbilt, Corner Slice, Motorino... other than that, Id'd go into Brooklyn.

I always forget about this thread!! Nice to see it in the spotlight, even though it doesn't seem too active. Hi to all other NYCers.

Maybe my standards are shot but I really really just enjoy the 99 cent Pizza stores that are scattered around, I usually go to the one close to Grand Central because it's on my commute. I think it's kind of a chain because the guy who works there said the owner has like 9 locations. I tried another one under the same name like 2 blocks further and it seemed to be the same.

The people at my 99c Pizza know these days that it's my post-show tradition. It's perfect cheap pizza.

It hits the spot, but if I can prefer like a local pizzeria really.

Get that dipping gooeyness inside my belly!

If you are near Grand Central (I am for work), go to Previti's Pizzeria in the Chanin Building. It's fantastic.

That's what a community spotlight is for. We've been around but a thing called Discord happened and pulled folks into the shadows. I'm glad to see this thread active again since the move though. :) I've seen cases of threads being active than their Discord counterparts which are deserts such as the Comics thread.

For cheap pizza, I always go to 2 Bro's if I'm downtown and don't want to spend more than 5 bucks on food. It's the OG of the $1 slices. It hits the spot in a pinch when I crave pizza but don't want to pay $2.50-$3.50 for a slice. I haven't been to a 99 Cent Pizza in quite some time despite there being one around the corner from the Marriott Courtyard where I go to write once a week.

I always forget the hangout threads. I live in the Bronx, but world in FIDI. Manhattan got too expensive for me and I'm looking to save up and buy something.

I visited New York in the summer of 2016. Best city I've ever seen. God. If I were filthy rich, I'd buy a condo on Manhattan. Manhattan is probably the best place on Earth.

Those 99c slices aren't that bad although the only ones I've had are 2bros. I've lived here all my life and I wouldn't really know what to recommend pizza wise aside from local joints and maybe Artichoke. Di Faras is pretty good but overpriced and the crazy lines make it not worth it.

I don't mess with fried chicken. That stuff messes does something fierce to my digestion so I only eat it once or twice a year or at least eat the meat but not the skin. Go Go Curry's Chicken katsu was good though.

I was at Charles' Pan Fried Chicken with some friends on Sunday night and fought every fiber of my being to eat it (it looked real good though). I might have to go back at some point and change that. My friend saw it on some food YouTuber's recommendation and had to get it.

Same here on fried chicken but I eat it here and there knowing it'll mess me up.
