Junior’s cheesecake is overrated garbage

TrumpyCane had it the other day and it was awful compared to any other decent bakery in NYC

There was an amazing bakery in the upper East called Two Little Red Hens, unfortunately it seems COVID forced them to shutdown after they started renovating

Another underrated pizza place is Sauce Pizzeria, the original on 12th street is the best spot.

If you want some hot dogs Crif Dog is good and it has a speakeasy PDT inside for some very good drinks.

For burger can’t go wrong with JG Melon, TrumpyCane likes it because it is simple and it tastes great, no need for 10 different ingredients. Burger, cheese, pickle, bun, that’s all you need

I'm somewhat familiar with this. Some years ago, I watched a show on the history of NY pizza.

The older gentleman who own's Juliana's is named Patsy Grimaldi. His uncle was the original Patsy, of Patsy's pizza. Uncle Patsy's widow sold Patsy's pizza to an employee.

Patsy Grimaldi then opened Grimaldi's. He retired and sold sold Grimadi's to someone else.

Then, Patsy Grimaldi came out of retirement and reopened a new pizza spot, Juliana's, named after his mother, in the exact same location of the old Grimaldi's pizza.

Interesting stuff.

I've met Patsy Grimaldi a few times at Juliana's. He's the nicest old guy that you'll ever meet.

He told me himself that Grimaldi's doesn't do things the "right way."

On a somewhat related note. Vice has an interesting doc called 'A Slice of Pie'. It's about NYC pizzerias and the mob. I didn't know that so many have been used to launder money. I guess that explains why many are cash only.
