You got to start somewhere...

For the past month, I've debated how I want to start this blog.  With so many ideas whirling around my head I decided to start with one of my new favorite places in NYC...Pizzeria 28.

Initially, I thought I read about Pizzeria 28 in the NYT article "In New York Restaurants, the Rise of Rome." However, I confused the restaurant with Numero 28 Pizzeria Romana in SoHo (#26 on my culinary bucket list).  Slight mix up, but what a rebound!

Pizzeria 28 is the kind of restaurant I've been looking for in NYC.  It has the ability to transport me back to Italy (without the cost of airfare).  Apart of me felt like a tourist because everyone around my table spoke Italian and seemed to know each other.

But wait! I've digressed from what I really wanted to discuss.  What I can't get out of my head, and what inspired me to start this blog...the patate pizza.

Patate pizza =Ricotta cheese, potatoes, and walnuts.  It's simply fantastic.  Thinly sliced potatoes and the smoothness of the ricotta juxtaposes perfectly with the crunchy walnuts. An unexpected, but perfect balance. I enjoyed my bruschetta and tiramisu, but I would hold off next time for gelato at GROM around the corner.

PS. It's cash only, but have no fear there is an atm outside the bathroom.
