One of New York's most renowned pizzerias. Incomparable New York-style pies on Coney Island.

Italian butcher, sausage maker, and sandwich shop extraordinaire. Great Italian special and chicken parm.
Excellent yeast doughnuts at this tiny Bed-Stuy shop. Cafe au Lait and Blood Orange glazes are top-notch.
Not all breads are top-notch at this non-profit bakery, but we love the flaky Moroccan m'smen, rich stollen, and fresh bialys, which are the best we've had in New York.
Elevated but casual takes on Thai food, authentic in ingredients and technique if not in approach.
