 A devastating kitchen fire closed Annisa last fall after a nine-year run; now it has reopened and the food is better than ever. Roughly half the menu from before the disaster remains, including a pullet with a pig-foot dice inserted under its crisp skin, with a truffle-driven savor, and a... More >> |

 This is one of the original New York coal oven pizza joints; it was opened in 1957 and is still run by the same family. It?s crowded, loud and there?s live jazz (practically in your lap) every night. The pizza crust sports a nice char from the hot oven, and is thickish, salty and pleasantly... More >> |
