Wandering around the
Lower East Side looking for food is both challenging and not. There
are tons of choices, no doubt, but in this particular neighborhood
there's too much one way or the other in terms of pricey and cheap,
long time commitment or have your food thrown at you by a guy in a
dirty smock. We were trying to grab something to eat before seeing
a show, and needed something relatively fast, relatively cheap and
hopefully not scary. Tada, pizza! Granted, this is by no means a Famous
Ray's or anything, but is instead a nice subdued, glass-lined
brick oven pizza joint that goes more trendy than traditional. We
must have had quite a window prior to our engagement, as I went for
the pre and post dinner grub. Starting with an arugula salad with
pecans and goat cheese is always a perfect way to start off the evening.
If you haven't had one of these salads (which sometimes include like
cranberries or pears or something and can substitute candied walnuts
for the pecans) you should run out and get yourself one. Mmmm, salty
and sweet. Ms. Hipster and I split a margarita pizza, which was pretty
much exactly what you'd expect of a brick oven pizza--thin and tasty.
And then, for dessert, we got this insane fried thing filled with
ricotta and Nutella. How can that possibly be bad? It wasn't. I can't
say that the place was filled with personality, had the world's most
attentive help or made me feel like a prince with its lavish comforts,
but for a quick hit dining experience, I've certainly done worse.
