The Long Island, New York Italian Restaurant Where One Family Has Cooked Since 1955

Three brothers from Naples split the work right down the middle. One made the pizza, one cooked, and one ran the tables. That was 1955, and the family never handed over the keys. A son of one founder still runs the place today, alongside his wife, his sister, and a whole crew of grandkids.

New Trader Joe's stores coming to NY: See the locations

Two new Trader Joe's stores are planned for New York, expanding the popular grocery chain's presence in the state. The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year. The expansion comes as Trader Joe's continues to draw shoppers with its private-label products and competitively priced groceries. Where are the new Trader Joe's stores? According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area. Yonkers: 2482 Central Park Ave. The Camillus store, located just west of Syracuse in Onondaga County, will be about 9,000 square feet and become the area's second Trader Joe's. The existing Syracuse-area store is at 3422 Erie Blvd. E. in DeWitt. The Yonkers location will cover about 10,000 square feet. When will the new Trader Joe's stores open? Trader Joe's has not announced opening dates for either New York location. Spokeswoman Nakia Rohde said new stores typically open within three to six months of being announced. Based on that timeline,

Everyone In New Jersey Should Try The Legendary Italian Hot Dog At This Humble Hole-In-The-Wall

Not every legendary restaurant announces itself with fanfare, and Dickie Dee’s in Newark, New Jersey, is proof that the best ones usually don’t. What it does have is a street corner named after it, a menu that covers serious ground, and an Italian hot dog that has people talking in the best possible way.

This Small New York Italian Deli Serves Subs Worth Traveling For

A single hero at this Greenwich Village counter can stretch into two full meals. The meats get sliced only after you order, and the mozzarella is made fresh every day. I’m convinced that kind of care is rare. This family shop has been feeding New York since 1900, and it still makes its own sausage by hand.

This New Jersey Portuguese Restaurant Serves Hearty Meals That Feel Just Like Sunday Dinner

Skewers of slow-roasted meat get carved right at your table here, one juicy slice at a time. That alone is enough to make me hungry before lunch even starts. The walls are lined with vintage Portuguese tiles, and the framed menus speak both English and Portuguese. The same family has kept this kitchen going since the 1970s, and their descendants still run it today.

6 Surprising spots for Thanksgiving pies in Westchester, Rockland

Who says Thanksgiving dessert has to mean the usual slice of pie? This year, the options across Westchester and Rockland are a little more unexpected — think a gelato-filled pie-lato, apples wrapped in an empanada, or chocolate chip cookie dough served with Nutella. Not only are these treats a step outside the traditional, they also come from unexpected places (as in not your usual bakery). Options include everything from an Asian American eatery to a Mexican-inspired taqueria to your favorite Art Deco diner. Intrigued? Here's six places you'd never expect to find holiday pies. Dining: Brewery and kitchen opens in Port Chester, designed around music history Gelateria Sorella, Bronxville What if, instead of the customary apple pie, you brought gelato to the Thanksgiving table — pie-style? The ever-creative Misha Mariani and Priscilla Scaff-Mariani, the husband-and-wife team behind the recently opened Gelateria Sorella, are celebrating their first Thanksgiving in Westchester with three varieties of their newly introduced pie-latos. Options include a pumpkin version featuring velvety pumpkin gelato layered inside a buttery Biscoff cookie crust, crowned with fluffy, hand-torched toasted meringue; an apple pie-lato with orchard-fresh Honeycrisp apple gelato nestled in a golden puff pastry crust, layered with spiced apple marmalade and

The New York Waterfront Seafood Restaurant Where Huge Portions Come With Hudson River Views

I appreciate a restaurant that gives you the view and the seafood without making you choose. Boats pull up to the dock while plates of mussels Fra Diavolo land on the tables nearby. That’s a normal afternoon at this New York seafood spot, where a working marina sits right beside the dining room.

New Yorkers Say You Haven’t Really Been to New York Until You’ve Tried These 7 Food Spots. Are They Right?

Where to Find the Best Pastrami Sandwiches in New York City

As someone who was born and raised in New York City, I’ve eaten a lot of pastrami sandwiches in my life. Delicatessens have always been a huge part of New York culture, right up there with our pizzerias and bagel stores. There aren’t as many traditional Jewish delis as there used to be. Neighborhoods have changed, families have moved, and some famous establishments have closed. But the pastrami sandwich is still one of the great New York foods, and a handful of old names continue to attract people from all over the city and the world.

This New York Bakery Still Makes Italian Pastries The Old-School Way, From Cannoli To Fresh Focaccia

Your cannoli should not be filled until you actually order it. That’s a pretty reasonable argument, and one Bronx bakery has been making it with ricotta cream for ages. Shells sitting around full of filling? You may want to give that another thought. The story behind the counter is...

This Chinatown Mall Under The Manhattan Bridge Still Hides A Basement Kitchen The Old Neighborhood Swears By

The headline you clicked promised a Buffalo Polish market, but the place behind this story sits in Manhattan’s Chinatown, and we would rather tell the truth than invent pierogi that do not exist. The real tale is still about the same thing: an old-school spot that refuses to disappear.

All hail the Caesar salad; best ones in Westchester, Rockland

Fall is a time for soups, apple cider and pumpkin everything but for me, there's comfort in Caesar salad. Call it romaine romance: What's great about Caesars are that they're light enough to remind me of summer but substantial enough (especially when you add salmon or steak) to be a meal. There's also something comforting about the combination of crisp lettuce, creamy dressing and crouton crunchiness that leads to my Caesar state of mind. Whether you prefer yours with chicken breast and romaine lettuce, plumped with kale, or topped with anchovies (a divisive factor, I know), menus in Westchester and Rockland have an option with your name on it. What follows are a few of my favorites, keeping in mind I'm a no anchovies gal (though I'll get them mixed in.) More: 19 new restaurants open in Westchester Polpettina, Eastchester Sometimes, the original is hard to beat. Which is why the Caesar at Polpettina has my attention. While I wouldn’t call it entirely traditional — there’s nothing about this place that feels old-fashioned — it certainly embraces the philosophy of making every ingredient count. Here, chef/owner Michael Abruzese combines Parmesan, anchovy, lemon, Dijon, Worcestershire, olive oil, red wine vinegar and

Guys use pulley system to peddle steaks out NYC apartment window — until beef with neighbor

They were shut down over some beef. A group of foodie friends went viral for using a pulley system out their second-floor window to deliver home-cooked steaks to customers on the street — but a mystery rat soon spoiled their quirky culinary escapade. The buzzy makeshift biz, dubbed Some Guy’s House, was forced to shut down after just four days of slinging steaks. Chianli Hang started Some Guy’s House as “a fun bit with our friends.” Robert Mecea for NY Post “I guess we have like at least one, like, mega-hater out there,” said Chianli Hang, a chef and tenant of the McKibben Street unit, to The Post. Hang, 24, and five of his friends started Some Guy’s House in late October as an offbeat way to make good food and fun social-media content. Subway surfing NYC teen in critical condition after falling onto train tracks: cops Several members of the crew had kitchen experience and wanted to experiment with recipe testing, he explained. “We were just doing this as like a fun bit with our friends. We would sit on the couch like, ‘Man, will anyone actually watch a video and physically go here and then give us money

Regulars Drive 40 Minutes Each Way For Fried Shrimp At This New Jersey Fish Market
