But they’ve got great shots of the broccoli rabe at Fratelli’s in Hunt’s Point, the fried calzone at Louie and Ernie’s in Pelham Bay, the Italian Ice next door at Teresa’s, and the cannoli at Madonia Brothers on Arthur Ave. Classic food porn. Enjoy. [...] [...] Unfortunately, they cut a scene showing those delicious Little Neck Clams Possilipo at Artie’s in City Island.

I LOVE NYC. Every chance I get to visit, I am there in a heartbeat - my dad’s from the city, though he moved to Toledo, OH (where I am) many years ago before starting a family…. Still, Manhattan seems like a second home to me in a lot of ways… one of my favorite places in the world. my bands played there every chance we could get, structuring entire tours JUST so we could play cbgb (and get underpaid), or when i can i visit family in larchmont…. my favorite part? the food. hands down. People, if they haven’t been there, don’t understand the incredible experience that is eating in Manhattan - you can find cheap diners with incredible food all over the place, nice italian joints in the middle of the bowery, great noodle eateries in and around the much-vaunted (and, for me, loved) chinatown… and the pizza… i firmly believe that if a person lives his entire life without a slice of real NY pizza, they’ve completely missed the point… same goes for a hotdog at 8pm in the rain on a cold spring day.. Thanks for bringing this a bit closer, and drive safely!! Just wanted to drop you a line thanking you for this blog.
