The original joint that
inspired the timeless pun, "You can watch a chicken roll, but you
can't watch a chicken roll," Mimma's serves up late night pizza and
chicken rolls to drunken UES revelers in droves. Surrounded by neighborhood
bars, the management of this place is smart enough to keep the doors
open well into the morning, as person after person pulls crumpled
bills out of his pockets, slurring orders for pepperoni and Sicilian
slices while trying to avoid one another in the cramped space. How
the employees here don't blow their brains out out of sheer annoyance
is beyond me (after all, who's more annoying than a drunk dude on
the UES?), but we're glad they keep the grey matter off of the grub,
because the stuff is good. Granted, it's not a gourmet eatery, but
the neighborhood pizza shop is nothing to sneeze at. I would avoid
the loud-talking late-night freaks and stop by on a calm afternoon
if you want to grab a very good slab of chicken parm wrapped in cheese
and pizza dough. [MF] |
