I went to Lombardi’s on a recommendation from a friend. She had warned me about the long lines since it’s kind of a famous pizza place in New York. Luckily the day I went there was no line and we were sat right when we got there.

The place itself has a very cool feel about it. Kind of cozy and old at the same time. It very much felt like a pizza place, although a cool one at that. And as has been mentioned already here, part of the coolness factor is that it has been recognized as the first pizza place in the U.S.

The pizza itself was good. Not great but good. Traditional ‘New York’ style with the thin crust and very good mozzarella. I have had better at some of the hole in the wall places but that in no way means the pizza was bad. It was good enough that I will go back. Just be aware of the slightly high prices.

If your staying in Times Square you definitely have to go try this BBQ. A very cozy place where the BBQ has a good kick to it. If you enjoy spicy BBQ then this is right up your alley. Reasonably priced and a cool place to visit.

I saw the sign go up on this place about a week before it opened and I must say I got a little excited. A new burger place in town? I couldn’t wait to try it.

The decor reminds me of In ’N Out. As you walk in the first thing you notice is boxes of peanuts, which are free and nice to eat while your waiting in line or your food. The menu consists of burgers, hot dogs, veggie sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich, and fries. When you order there are all kinds of toppings you can put on your burger (and they advertise them as free). If you order a burger, fries and drink it can get pricey.

The burgers are a must try and I liked the overall feel of the restaurant. I’m actually more excited about the fact that in Cerritos a burger joint opened up.

Whenever I say that to myself in my head (apparently if I say that out loud some people consider it strange) I automatically think of Lucilles. In fact, I want some Baby Back Ribs right now.

The restaurant itself has a very cool feel to it. Very southern and welcoming. Lots of stuff on the walls that will keep you busy for a while.

The service has always been top notch at any Lucilles I have been too. They have a very small bar but a lot of selections (my friend loves the peach cider). Overall a great experience!

This hole in the wall restaurant is easy to miss but really shouldn’t missed by anyone. It has a really cool vibe about it. Peanut shells on the floor, metal bar stools in the shape of saddles, bathrooms that mimic sort of a really big outhouse, friendly servers, a huge American flag, and really big bones you can buy for your large dog on the way out. Everytime I have gone to Johnny Reb’s I have had a great time. I never have to wait long and the food is fantastic. You definitely have to give it a try (the homemade potato chips are the best!)
