FOOD: Luzzo's Pizza

I think a New York necessity is pizza and finding the best pizza. John and I listened to the over 400 positive Yelp reviews for Luzzo's and gave it a shot. It's in the East Village, just a few blocks from my dorm, so I already liked it for its convenience. John and I split a 12 inch Tartufata pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, truffle, pâté, basil) for $18. The crust was very thin causing the cheese and oils to ooze and blend. Just thinking about it I remember the flavor that heavenly melted in my mouth. I can't say it was the best pizza I've ever had in my life, but it was definitely up there.

PLACES: Random street fair + Little Italy

En route to lunch in Little Italy, we wandered into a bustling street fair.... so many colors! and people! and things! and of course... FOOD.

This is our lovely friend Dori (part of the group of Berkeley London-ers from last summer).. looking not too pleased with her fried oreo... even though it was her idea! It was actually pretty good... unexpectedly soft. Let's not try to estimate the calories of that little snack.

And so, the colorful street fair seamlessly flowed into the equally vibrant Little Italy. Blogging is fun because I get to use flowery language to my heart's content.

How many green/white/red things can you see in this picture?

Carbs, carbs....

and more carbs! We so happy.

Sadly, I forgot what restaurant we plopped down to eat at... because we passed at least 50 Italian restaurants that looked exactly the same. Very yummy nonetheless! Love the sidewalk seating.
