The number 1 seller is beer.

Abitino's in Murray Hill

You guys should try Pizza Italia on Stone St. downtown.

It's not too far from Adrienne's. I've only had the plain slices from there but they are really good. I'd say the best downtown. They have "grandma" style slices also, which are supposed to be good. If you go, get a cannoli. They're homemade and outstanding.

Cheap Eats in London

London must be one expensive place if 6 pounds for a drink is considered "reasonable". (http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/features/2553/4.html)(the listing for "Hive") Thats $12! Obviously there are plenty of places in NYC that sell drinks for $12 or more, but I wouldn't call that reasonable, nor would I consider putting that place on a "cheap eats" list.

What about Gray's Papaya?

Also, Boat Basin Cafe in Riverside Park has a great view, for when the weather's nice. Probably not worth going to for the food alone. It'll probably be closed for the season soon, if it isn't already, though.

I am a bacon girl, all the way...egg optional...but the Red Devil hot sauce is mandatory! My stomach is growling and it's 10 a.m.!

If you enjoy Pittsburgh food try Shenanigan's in the North Hills on Babcock Blvd. They have Primanti's style sandwiches that I personally find to be better. They have awesome wings and appetizers. It's a younger crowd at night but they have awesome everyday drink specials. The bartenders are great. The place is usually PACKED to the max on Fridays and Saturdays and they just added on a patio which gave them tons of extra seating. Give it a look at www.shenanigansbarandgrille.com

Phlipper: Pamela's "pancakes" : worst ever. no fluff, no buttermilk, no pancake. Umm....they're called crepes everywhere else when you can't get them to rise. I'd just as soon eat breakfast at DeLuca's or Jo Jo's; they're both in the Strip, they both have that great diner feel, and they're half the price of Pamela's.

@Phlipper: Never, ever had watery coleslaw on any of my sandwiches (double egg & cheese, lots of hot sauce).

Agreed that the fries are undercooked to stand-alone standards, but I love them soft inside the sandwich. They're still toothsome and always hot. Anyway, who wastes the time and expense on Belgian frites quality when your gonna' smoosh the fries to hell in a sandwich?

Only chance I had to try Primanti's was during a double-header at PNC against the Cubs. I can't remember what I ordered but the meat was either a hot dog or sausage patty. I had no idea what to expect when I ordered it, but I remember it being tasty.
