Going to NYC in early June for the 1st time.

A must do on the list is hitting a good pizzeria.

Im not real big on fancy. Just some basic, geniune NY pizza.

Any suggestions for a good spot in manhattan?

downtown: 'Rays' on Prince St.
midtown: Grimaldi's (pie only no slices) 20th St. n 6th ave
uptown: Patsy's (pretty sure pies only from what i remember as well..haven't been in a while) 1st ave n 117th st.
Queens: New Park-Cross Bay Blvd. Howard Beach
Long Island: Umberto's on Jericho Tpk. in New Hyde Park
Brooklyn: Totonno's (pie only...and they close when the dough runs out, so get there early...and often) Neptune Ave. Coney Island...
Bronx: i don't get up there much so you are on yer own...
Staten Island: ? i thought that was the name of a dump? not an actual borough...i think the verrazano bridge is like $40 to cross, so why bother going....you aint missing much...

you can't go wrong with anything on this list...now i freaking want a pie...thanks

You really should get out to Brooklyn for NY's BEST pizza.. but since you are limited to Manhattan check out these.

Lombardi's 32 Spring St ( the best old fashion Italian Pizza )

Joe's pizza 7 Carmine Street

Pizza box 176 Bleecker St

You can also do the Ray's Test ... which has been the fight for years..

It's Ray's Pizza vs. Famous Original Ray's pizza Vs. Original Ray's Vs. ......

I was never a big fan of Ray's, but then again I couldn't tell you Which Ray's I ate at !!

There's a Ray's on Prince Street, at least I think it's still there..

They say Ray's is just about as close to being NY Style Pizza as any place.
But like I said up top, Brooklyn is where REAL New York Pizza is. Even Queens has some of the best pizza !

When are you coming in WC ? was it June ??

We are doing a cross country road trip that we have always wanted to do. Driving to Myrtle Beach. Staying a few days. We will break up the trip to NYC by staying in Williamsburg, VA for a night. We will be staying in NYC (actually the Courtyard by Marriott in jersey city to save money. Its right next to a path station and a 10 min train ride to manhattan ive read) Friday June 1 thru Monday June 4th. Coming home, we will drive down thru the Biloxi/New Orleans area and staying for a couple of days.

Ive got a good buddy who is a lawyer in Manhattan. Hes gonna show me around on Saturday. I paid for his ticket to the Super Bowl in Tampa when he was still in law school so he owes me one. :toast:

The thing that makes me the most nervous is getting around. I plan on just leaving my car parked at the hotel the entire stay. Take the trains/subways everywhere. This is going to be a whole new world for me. Never been on a subway.
