Must-Try Pizza Joints in NYC, Kids Welcomed

The other “local dish” of New York City, the pizza, has a few places where adults and kids can enjoy a good slice, without the lines and with all the simplicity and basics of what makes a New York City pizza a must try when visiting.

Two Boots Pizza – If staying at the Grand Hyatt New York, then you have easy access to fabulous Grand Central Station, which happens to house my kids’ absolute favorite pizza spot (in the lower level food court). The pizza here is fresh and delicious, the service is great, and the prices are not too bad, especially for the amount of food you get. Choose from unique flavor combos like the Tony Clifton (wild mushrooms, sweet red pepper pesto, Vidalia onions, mozzarella) and The Dude (tasso, ground beef, cheddar & mozzarella). Lower dining concourse, Grand Central Station

Patsy’s Pizzeria – Another family favorite, located in East Harlem. Their brick-oven carefully cooks each pie to perfection, locking in the freshness of the ingredients and honoring the Italian pizza maker’s traditions for over 70 years. Definitely worth the trip! 2287 1st Ave

Lombardi’s Pizza – A true Italian joint, where you are made to feel like family. They actually claim to be America’s firstpizzeria, since being licensed by the City of New York in 1905, and therefore regard their founder, Gennaro Lombardi, as the father of American pizza. Truly delicious pies and a must-try for everyone who visits Manhattan! Depending on when you arrive, you might just beat the crowds and easily eat a whole pie without a problem. Especially convenient for guests staying at the nearby Crosby Street Hotel. 32 Spring Street

One of the dreamiest of views for me, that I don’t think I will ever tire of, is mist over the hills and lakes. And rainy seasons like these are perfect for such moments. 

After an eventful evening (and thank you all for the love and congratulatory messages🤎), I am eager to spend this rainy day back at my computer getting work done. 

It’s a wonderful thing to be immersed in a region you love, and to often be tasked to share its stories with others, it’s a whole other thing when regional representatives not only notice it, but reward you for it.

To listen to others get on stage and talk about that work with such admiration and awe still feels surreal and beyond flattering. It’s overwhelming. And I am grateful beyond words, and excited to continue to do the best that I can for as long as I am welcomed and given the opportunity to do so.

So whether it is for work (@braveworldmedia) or on this page, I am happy to share the stories and many reasons why we, along with so many others, decided to make this our home. ❤️

Thanks for the support and for following along.

I’m a little late to the game, but finally made I’m a little late to the game, but finally made it to @scalehousebrews in Hector, NY, which was serving up some delicious @overlookcoffeecompany (Burdett, NY) drip…and ya, girl had to go support her besties ✨

The coffee? Amazing of course, but Scale House brew also delish, and I was really impressed with their pizza. So if ya know, ya know. If you don’t, get over there stat. I heard it’s pretty busy during the summer months!

And make sure to stop into Overlook Coffee too. They are 😘👌🏾.

Sometimes I find country living too different and Sometimes I find country living too different and unsuitable. But then I have days that exhaust me. Or I am riddled with anxiety and uncertainty - a common theme for me as of late. Or just need to clear my head. Then I find the country to be the best medicine. Maybe it’s the crisp cold air. Or the soothing of the rushing glen. Or the sound of the ravens nesting nearby. Or the soft, cushy moss under my feet. Whatever it is, I am so grateful even when it all feels so unsure. I know this is pretty lucky.
