Scott's Pizza Chronicles: Ray's Pizza Demystified
Famous Ray's of Greenwich Village on 6th and 11th just shuttered for good. Oh the memories! Looks like the proliferation of Neopolitan and 2 Bros. pizza joints are proving to be deadly to their Ray's ancestors.

Daily Slice: 'Via Armenia' at Dee's Brick Oven Pizza, Forest Hills, Queens
Agree on the Armenian pizza-fantastic! Also the mini-meatballs with their herb dusted baked pizza dough as an appetizer are amazing!

How to Order a Slice of Pizza in NYC
@spacebars-excellent point. I loved the "cuts" and "trays" in Old Forge.

Open(ish) Thread: Your 'Great 8' Slice Joints in NYC?
Here goes-
Patsy's only the original on 117th and 1st
Artichoke fresh outta the oven (square or round) but not the artichoke or crab crap.
Bleecker Street-not as good as Joe's but dependable
Lazzara's over Maffei's for Grandma
Ray's of Greenwich Village for ol' time's sake
Veloce will do slices
Vinny Vincenz for a square
Two Boots but only the bayou beast
DiFara's if he ever sets aside a slice

Burger Heaven in Midtown Doesn't Exactly Live Up to its Name
Unfortunately Burger Heaven a/k/a Burger Hell was my convenient lunch burger place for many years. Thank God we now have more choices like Good Burger, HB Burger and Burger Joint for a quick lunch.

Great Finds: Tiramisu at Motorino
I order so much pizza to take out, they give it to me for free. If they only knew that I'd pay double, the tiramisu is soooo good!

What's Your Favorite Cheesecake In New York?
Veniero's (cream not ricotta), D'Aiuto's (cream not ricotta) and Artisanal.
The Boring Burger at Rockwells Express in Greenwich Village Lives Up to its Name
.My previous review of the mix-in burgers:
Grand opening today. They let you mix in your ingredients into the burger. Looked like Cold Stone Creamery except instead of ice cream, brownies and chocolate sauce they take raw meat, cheese, onions and even ketchup and mush them together and form into a paddy by hand and then grill in a commercial George Foreman grill where they cook for over 4 minutes. Temperature choice is either medium or well or scrape it off the grill. Shredded lettuce and tomato which I didn't ask for. I give the place a week. Burger Creations across the street is vastly superior.

Forward to the Past: New Sliders from White Diamond in New Jersey and Mark in NYC
Nick-I though that the care and ingredients rivaled Kenny's, though I would agree that the onions may need work at Mark. Also agree on the condiments but thought they were interesting. Also have to factor in the convenience factor-Mark is always accessible, Kenny's very limited with the addition of being able to use my cell phone at the Mark without having things thrown at me.
On a separate topic, are you willing to defend the laudatory comments on this site for Bill's Bar & Burger? http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/663834

Forward to the Past: New Sliders from White Diamond in New Jersey and Mark in NYC
Sorry Nick-gotta disagree with you. I think Mark is comparable to Kenny's.

As mentioned in the link, my crew at Alwayshungryny.com also liked Mark.

Katz's Deli: Go for the Pastrami, Not the Breakfast
Nick- I am surprised and disappointed that you, one of my favorite writers, has jumped on the Richman bandwagon. As I posted here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/633861 you don't order the philly cheesesteak at a NY deli. That goes for pancakes too. But Katz's salami and eggs is one of the great breakfasts that imbue existence with meaning. I have shared tables early in the morning at Katz's 9yes it does get crowded early in the morning) with memebers of two of the glorious tribes of NYC-Jews (of which I'm a card carrying member) and African-Americans. The salami and eggs provide a mutual bond among peoples who don't give a
&%$# about their cholesterol level. Please try again Nick.
Veloce Pizzeria, East Village, Manhattan
