Fodor's Choice
One bite of the nearly perfect coal-oven pizza at the iconic, original Patsy's Pizzeria, and it's immediately clear why Frank Sinatra favored its slices. Don't try and get too fancy here; the "plain pie" or the straightforward chicken parmigiana entrée are more than good enough to justify the trek up to 118th Street. Pizzas are also available to go at the counter next door.
