As I was waiting for my slice, three neighborhood guys started a friendly conversation with me about the Yankees. I was feeling a bit too comfortable. I was in my element, the neighborhood in which I had lived, worked, hung out, and volunteered with youths just like these. At that moment, waiting for Sal to heat me up a slice and talking of life and baseball with the locals, all was right with New York City. As I hopped back in my cab and waved goodbye to my new friends, I thought to myself, “Those neighborhood kids are great; you just gotta give ‘em a chance.” I realized twenty minutes later that the chance I had given them was the chance to rob me. While my three friends distracted me, a fourth had stolen my cigar box of money out of the cab. I was not pleased. How was I to believe in karma?

I've tried thousands of fancy so-called fresh pizzas in New York, but they always @#$@-up the consistency and are often drippy or too cheesy. Carmine's Original(not the Carmine's that is not the original on graham) is the most consistently delicious well-priced pizza in NYC proving pizza making is an art even beyond ingredients(although they are crucial). My step-brother from Richmond Hilll brought me to another place that competes in Forest Hills I think, but I forgot the name(it's near an old drag racing strip) Dude it’s actually in greenpoint, but I think the best traditional New York slice is at Carmine’s Original on Norman Ave and Manhattan by the g train.

I know they moved and I’m sad to hear that it might not be that good anymore Thank your good friend at New York Hack, she got me to come to this one and i think it might be a new favorite!
