There are several famous pizza places in NYC, but we decided to start with Joe’s Pizza. They are located all over the place, so you’ll probably accidentally run into one, but we opted for the one on Broadway on our way to Taqueria Diana. The pizza was delicious, but the nachos at Taqueria Diana were spectacular. There’s always a line at Joe’s Pizza due to the popularity (as seen in Spiderman), but we didn’t have to wait for a single person at Taqueria Diana. Oh, and did I mention the huge platter of nachos that fed all four of us was only $7.50?! We were already pretty full after these first two stops, so our plan was to walk off our food in Little Italy. We didn’t do any prior research for a good place to stop in Little Italy and it was downpouring, so we did the naive tourist thing and entered the first place we were summoned to by a man advertising to us from across the street. We didn’t get more than a beer here, and we weren’t even impressed with that. This is when we remembered that many restaurants in NYC post a grade in their window for cleanliness. The place we chose didn’t even have a grade… If you can, try to stick with the grade A/B restaurants. We found more of these grades in the other microcosm of NYC we couldn’t miss- Chinatown. After our mishap in Little Italy we searched way too long for a decent spot. Finally, we opted for a rice noodle bowl for the table to share but didn’t really know what to do with it! So that also was a bust!
