[ChuckMejia]

Starting laughing when I saw this show up under new posts. I had a feeling you'd post in here..............

You already know!

This is false. New York pizza is far superior.

No way Jose...deep dish owns flat pizza that looks like a rolled up taco..gross.

I've been to Chicago and my cousin has lived there 20 years. Let's agree to disagree lol he wishes I could bring him NY pizza all the time. I've visited many deep dish spots when visiting him. It's good but not NY pizza good.

@ckay pretty much said everything I was going to mention. But I'll add a really good BBQ restaurant- Brother Jimmy's BBQ. I think there's a few of them in NYC. I went to the one right outside of Madison Square Garden/Penn Station at I think 33rd st & 7th Ave. Delicious BBQ food and atomosphere was amazing.

Check out Little Italy. I believe the San Gennaro festival is starting up soon.

Dinosaur bbq is good as well. If you want to eat at a nice place check out Catch NYC in the meatpacking district

As soon as you get there take the elevator up to the roof and eat up there. Its real nice. I heard that their weekend brunchh is incredible. I only had lunch there but it was awesome and their drinks are strong and delicious.

I will admit to eating good NYC pizza as well as a truckload of Nathan hot dogs...I'm A traveling foodie all over the world. ..Barcelona beats the rest of the world so far...going to France and wii probably change my mind again

Food in Barcelona beats out French food, imho.

What are some good steakhouse restaurants I can go for lunch? Also, Carnegie or Katz's for cornbeef?

So, I am planning on going on my first real vacation in the last five years in September. I am trying to decide between NYC or Chicago. I was looking at Chicago, because I want to see the Foo Fighters in concert at Wrigley. My other option is NYC, which is my favorite city in the world. I haven't been to NYC since I was 15 (18 years ago). Also, I was planning on going to NYC the weekend of 9/11 to go to a Yankees game, and JR Cigars is having a cigar cruise on the Hudson. Help me make a decision.

Hate to say it but NYC. The cruise is a steal for two and a quarter.

For steak houses: Smith & Wolinsky's, Bobby Van's, Del Frisco's, Mortons. But if you really want to ball out take the trip over the Williamsburg Bridge to BK and go to Luger's.
And this pizza debate goes to NYC for sure! ....L&B, DiFara's, Guilana's/Grimaldi's, John's (on Bleeker), DeNino's (Staten Island) and the list goes on.

I think I've had better pizza at holes in the wall in Schenectady, Syracuse, Philadelphia, and Boston than Pizza Port...

I mean it's good, but not to sure about "the best".

Schenectady: Precca's? (has to be!)

Well I've been to NY and had several of the "must try flat rolls". And while they are good at 2am walking past the bums. They don't do deep dish or double dough( a very overlooked crust) a god damn thing.
One thing hardly ever discussed in Ny vs Chi pizza wars. The suburbs have hundreds of great mom and pop pizza joints that do just as good of representation as the Windy City.

You have obviously never eaten at the good pizza spots in New York. Very clear in your comments

How about Craftsteak or Gallagher's?

 

[Shrody234]

I can't say from experience for either of those, sorry bro.

Oh no I just "had to try the thin crusts..."
Btw Nathan's hot dogs are par at best.
There is no other hot dog than

I'll agree Katz is a must try....

Not a Nathan's fan myself. Much better dogs out there.

You ever show up here again. Ill take you on a real pizza tour.

Notice in Italy they dont eat that obese people super deep dish. Chitown deep dish is good, but it isnt great.
