Hey, any of you nostalgic ex-East Coasters wanna get together for drinks and reminisce about New Yawk and how much they manage to fuck up pizza here in SF?

Re: How about a get-together in San Fran?
Mon, July 3, 2006 - 3:48 AMI'm up for a NYer get together. One idea: We could have it at Amici's (pah) -alleged- East Coat Pizzaria near SBC-ATT-whatever they're calling it this week-Park for the titular cuisine and a couple of pitchers of beer. Coincidently, Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels is also nearby. -

Re: How about a get-together in San Fran?
Tue, July 4, 2006 - 1:01 AMHa! I"m heading to NYC for the first time since 1999 next month. Whoo-ee!
anyway, I'm in the East Bay and completely unfamiliar with SF food (moving here from NYC cured me of living in 'real' cities, hence the East Bay bit).
Any discussion of NYC versus SF has to include NY food, but I'll defer to you guys on where to try an' find it. THere were a bunch of threads here that mentioned SF places with supposed sightings of pizza, bagels, cannoli- should take a look through those again
so, when?
I"m thinking about three weeks or a month from now ?

I'm up for Tawkin' with my New Yawk accent.

Re: How about a get-together in San Fran?
Thu, May 31, 2007 - 3:14 AMI'd still be up for it, though I'm leaving town in early July for quite a while, and with an insane schedule I have going on right now it'd have to be late June for me I think.

Re: How about a get-together in San Fran?
Mon, June 4, 2007 - 3:05 PMOk, How about 6pm on Sunday June 17th for a bite to eat somewhere in the city. Maybe Pizza, Chinese or Max's?
My Sunday evenings will be free now that the Soprano's is ending :)
Herb
P.S. If anyone is up for it, Huey Lewis will be playing a free concert at 2pm that day in Stern Grove. I'll be there!

Sun, March 16, 2008 - 3:45 AMHey, I beg to differ... IMHO Escape From New York and The Cheese Board Collective in Berkeley are insanely awesome, and yes, better than New Yawk Pizza any day (please don't shoot me...) :)
The bagels here, however, SUCK...
(I know this is an OLD thread, I just had to mention that... :) ) -

Wed, March 19, 2008 - 3:25 PMi WILL BEAT YOU SENSELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
escape from NY- pretty good, but too much emphasis on Escape- (ha) my first time in there (15 yrs ago) i said
"lemme get a slice of cheese"
and these freaks were expecting a "please"
"look i'm from NY, whad'ya expect?"
-"this is EScape from NY"
-ugh. still good, i go there whenever i'm in sf.
CHEESBOARD= ARGH= you need a beating. that is not anything like NY pizza, you may like it as good food, but that is not pizza by any NY standard. half the time there's no tomato, and the foofy attitude of everyone who works there and eats there -= forget it. i live a block from there and am sick of those nerds.
NO, no NY'er should put up with that stuffy place. I've seen they way they advertise for help- SCARY- it's like joining a cult.

Re: How about a get-together in San Fran?
Mon, March 24, 2008 - 4:58 PMHAHAHAHHHHH!!!!! I will fight you on that! If you want to fight a girl, that is... LOL No, neither of those pizzas is like NY pizza - it's BETTER!!! Because they have the BALLS to put something on the pizza other than the standard freakin' canned mushrooms and olives!! And.. hahah... I feel like I just ESCAPED from NY (I've been trying to do that for 10 years!) and so I appreciate the Escape emphasis... :P :)
And I don't care how weird or cult-like those Cheeseboard people are, that's their business, but they make damn fine pizza that makes me dr00l and that's what counts!! So what if there's no tomato? Haven't you ever had a 'white slice' before, even in NY? Tomato is not absolutely necessary. They put amazing stuff on their pizza that no NY'er would ever have the imagination to do! Besides, they're nice. One time I got there when they were just closing, and instead of the standard 'sorry we're closed' - they handed me a free slice from what they had left! I thought that was sweet. :)
