Tony's Pizza: Old-School New York and Sicilian Slices in Williamsburg
Their sicilian is top notch, however for a regular slice I'll stick to San Marco a few blocks away (which I think you reviewed a few months ago).
Neighborhood Slugfest: Cafe Amore versus Bravo Pizza
Cafe Amore serves the worst slice I've ever eaten in NYC.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn: San Marco Pizzeria
San Marco is my "local" as well. Beats out the warring Tony's and Carmine's on Graham.
They actually raised the price from $2.25 to $2.50 just a few weeks ago.
A Sandwich a Day: Willie's Italian Special at Graham Avenue Meats & Deli
You should check out Anthony & Sons, which is a block away, their competitor of sorts. I like their Godfather sandwich better - they use some of the best fresh mozzarella I've ever had.
Good Street Meat in Williamsburg?
There is a great Mexican cart that I haven't seen in a while that's usually on Bedford and Metropolitan. Sometimes it's on Bedford/McCarren Park... Here are some links about it:

The Best Bread Baskets in New York City
I'm surprised you didn't test out Ssam Bar's $8 bread basket.
Lunch for One: Señor Pollo
Check out Gena's Grill, a block away on 1st between 12th & 13th. Similar deal and delicious.
Super Bowl Giveaway: Pig Pickin' and Wings from RUB
Lemonade goes well with wings.
Where's the Best Pizza Near the Empire State Building?
Used to work over there - ended up walking up to Bravo Pizza on 42nd for mediocre, but edible NYC chain pizza.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Russ & Daughters Brunch Package
"The Mommy" from Shopsin's.
Save Prime Burger, A Burger Shop With Real Character
Thanks for the writeup, Ed.
I go here about 2-3 times a month and I'm always shocked the place is not packed.

Jerk Chicken from the Dutchy Cart in Midtown!
