Paola17 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Rough Trade is rad. My dad works in Tribeca and the theater is right by where he works. I doubt there will be people there at 8am unless they want rush tickets, but either way, I'll ask him to check for a line periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't shoot the video that was posted but I was on the floor, about 6 people back. It was cool but short...they only played 5 songs. I feel like Green Day would have done between 10 and 20, haha.

NY has tons of food carts that are relatively inexpensive. All kinds of food imaginable. I think you can probably do a bit better than granola bars!

Pizza is great, bagels, mediterranean food, pretzels, candied peanuts, smoothies, ice cream, etc. You name it and you will find a cart for it.

Chin for a Day Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 If you guys want to go to a really cool place, it is my favorite restaurant in the city. It is a middle eastern restaurant in the village called The Olive Tree. The food is amazing, they have a fantastic drink menu and it is not that expensive. They also have slate tables and give you chalk so you can doodle on the tables and they show Charlie Chaplin films. IT is very small, but just a really, cool place. It is on MacDougal Street, in Greenwich Village, not far from NYU and not that far from Tribeca. If you are coming from out of town you really need to visit the village anyway.

GenXIdiot Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I prefer the thin crust pizza style of NYC. I had pizza in Chicago and it's that deep dish kind, too doughy. As an Italian married to an Italian, I object to deep dish pizza on moral grounds. 5 hours ago, JJ1964 said: If you guys want to go to a really cool place, it is my favorite restaurant in the city.

Sounds interesting, do they require reservations? I'm starting to investigate. We want to eat within reasonable walking distance to Spring Studios. We are staying 2 blocks away from Spring Studios so we'd like to walk everywhere. Any other places to check out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's good deep dish pizza it won't be doughy more like the thickness pie crust with somewhat of the consistancy of regular pizza crust. It just has a lot of cheese and whatever else you get on it.

lizziebix Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've lived in Chicago my whole life and deep dish was never a thing in our house. Still isn't. Not my fave. So sad that people think it's all we have. There are so many amazing thin crust pizza shops with amazing creative toppings. What I don't get about NY pizza is the folding. You fold in and you taste the trust (tasteless) first. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to know that Chicago doesn't only have deep dish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
