+1 for the French Dip...that thing is awesome!

Krescendo: Is Elizabeth Falkner's Pizzeria Worth a Trip on the A Train?

Thanks for the review! I actually live in the neighborhood and this report confirms my feelings after my one and only visit. I was planning to give them another shot, but it sounds like they still haven' t hit there stride. I'll just keep going to Sottocasa down the street until I hear otherwise.

Basic New York-style Pizza Dough

@Kenji

I'm working with a 10-cup as well...Do you start checking after just a few seconds, or do you let it run a full :30 seconds before performing the window pain test? THANKS!

Basic New York-style Pizza Dough

Kenji, is there a minimum size requirement for the food processor? I've been having trouble passing the window pain test when using this method, even after processing for up to minutes. Perhaps I'm overprocessing or the bowl of my processor's too small to handle 4.5 cups. Any thoughts?

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

A bbq I had when I lived in Astoria Queens...I didnt have much outdoor space, so it was essentially a bbq on the street. Great burgers and good times.

Our Favorite Buffalo Wings in New York City

@kariface

You're dead on. I had wings at Matchless a couple weeks ago and was shocked at how good they were. I figured they would be average at best, but they were top notch.

I ordered from Wing Bar for the Jets game this past weekend, and thought they were also very good. Sauce could have been better but it's hard to truly judge a wing when they were delivered and not eaten while still scolding hot.

The Best Falafel Sandwich in New York City

Murray's inedible? You've lost your falafel loving minds. I've never had a bad falafel from Murray's but perhaps you went on an irregularly off day?

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat La Frieda Burgers

Bring them to my buddies place in Brooklyn, because he has a yard and a grill. We'd invite a bunch of friends and tell them to bring the beers.

My current favorite burger is at Primehouse in NYC. A little bigger than I generally prefer, but it's so damn good.

A Sandwich a Day: 'The Bomb' from Sal, Kris, and Charlie's, The Sandwich King of Astoria

I LOVE the Italian. One of my favorite sandwiches in the entire city.

Help! Where Do I Get Good Pizza in Astoria, Queens?

I'm not sure exactly where you are in Astoria, but if you are near Steinway and Broadway, Polito's will do you well. When I lived over there, it was my go to. It's really all about their sicilian slices though. The dough is very soft, yet crisp on the bottom. It's also on the cheesy side, but it works well with the thick crust. Their regular is an average to slightly above average New York slice.

What's Your Favorite Bagel In New York?

I'm on the David's bandwagon.

Hot Dog of the Week: Pastrami Dog

A little bit of kraut and I'd be in heaven.

Grilling: Lebanese Kofta

A little allspice and garlic would kick it up a touch as well.

A Tour of NYC Italian Ice

You missed what I consider to be the hands down best lemon ice I have ever had, but it's in the overlooked bourough of the Bronx. I can't remember the name, but I believe it's on Morris Plains Boulevard. Definitely a seed spitting ice, and lip puckeringly lemony.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

I call them Buddy Yuday Eggs because thats what my dad calls them. He calls them that because his best friend's (Buddy Yuday) Dad made them whenever he stayed the night as a kid.

Travel + Leisure on America's Best Burgers

Man, I had both Black Iron and back Forty's burgers and neither of them would even fall into my top 20 NYC burger. These lists are good for nothing other than causing a stir.

Serious Cheese: With Milk Prices Down, Grafton Pays a Premium

That is truly commendable, and certainly a practice that you don't see everyday.

Tomorrow is the 30th not the 31st, so everyone has 2 days to donate.

Krescendo gets Two Stars from the Times!

Serious Eats, I would love to hear your thoughts on a number of the newly opened Pizza places in Brooklyn...specifically Krescendo and Juliana's. Do have any plans to provide first looks or proper reviews in the near future...us slicers want to know!

In regards to Krescendo, I've actually been, and did not find the pizza to be in the same ballpark as the top Neapolitan joints in the city...so I was very surprised to see two stars. Would like to hear what other slicers think.
