Pizza: there's no better
food in the world when you're in a complete stupor. I'm talking less
about the drunken kind than the dead dog tired, haven't slept in like
a million years, zombie-like trance type of thing. That's about the
condition I was in when patronizing this establishment--and that may
have been a good thing. Stumbling down from Mount Sinai hospital after
the birth of the crown prince, I was almost ready to trade him for
an hour of sleep and a slice of pizza. Luckily Famiglia happened to
be within stumbling distance, and while it didn't help my sleep deprivation,
it certainly filled my need for sustenance. The place itself is one
of those narrow, somewhat rundown places that The City is so famous
for, but it honestly hit the spot in my rumbling gut. While my memory
of that whole day is pretty foggy, I seem to recall eating a chicken
roll (my usual), but it could have been pizza, or even a stack of
napkins and a wax cup. Seriously, I was that messed up. In any case,
I'm sure this joint is totally serviceable, and is probably a great
option for people who happen to live within two blocks of the place.
Everyone in Manhattan must have his or her neighborhood safety slice
place, and this is surely as good as any. [MF] Other Locations: Famous Famiglia Pizza (Times Square - North) Famous Famiglia Pizza (Times Square - South) |
