Some of the best pizza in NY. They don't take reservations and the wait can be over an hour for a table, but if you have the time, it's worth the wait. It's BYOB.

Breakfast pastries, egg sandwiches, and yummy treats. The chocolate chip cookie is one of the best we've ever had. No indoor seating, but plenty outdoors or take it to go.

Incredible Italian food. Reservation recommended. Frank's, which is just a few doors down shares the same menu. There's also a pizza slice place on the same block owned by the same people, which is great if you just want a quick bite.

Coffee shop in front, sit down breakfast / brunch / lunch restaurant in the back. It's also a good spot to work during the day as there are plugs for your computer and they don't might if you stay for hours.
