AlwaysInformed: Harry’s Italian Pizza Bar
The Gluttoness — June 05, 2009
Eggplant Parmigiana Hero at Tuesday’s Dine Around Downtown
Gold St. may have seemed like a good idea in theory, but the 24-hour diner/bar/sushi concept wasn’t exactly embraced by locals in the financial district. As previously reported, the father-son team of Harry and Peter Poulakakos, is refurbishing the 2 Gold St. space and reverting to their successful “Harry’s” brand, this time with an Italian spin: Harry’s Italian Pizza Bar. If the term “pizza bar” sounds familiar, that’s because they’re also responsible for the perennially packed, Adrienne’s Pizza Bar.
We’ve gotten the early word on some of Harry’s new signature dishes. The menu will elaborate on Adrienne’s and include its renowned Old-Fashioned Pizzas. Aside from pizza, the big draws will be: family-style pasta portions (fitting considering this family-owned venture is under Peter’s management), a Meatball Hero, Steak Pizzaiolo, Stuffed Artichokes and Baked Clams. If you can’t wait until the June 15th opening, assuage your cravings for Italian at Adrienne’s in the meantime. Try the eggplant topping on your next old-fashioned pie— the thin slices make for a great Eggplant Parmigiana Pizza.
AlwaysHungryNY: Yankee Stadium Fare
Arthur Bovino — April 22, 2009
Eating was fun at the old Stadium even when the best option was Premio Sweet Italian Sausage in tin foil, but now that the Bombers have relocated to grander digs with an expanded menu we were excited to see what was what. We passed on peanuts, crackerjacks and the delicious, double-feature popcorn smell wafting through the food courts to do a thorough tasting of each stand. Having seen foodie takes on ballpark food, we thought we’d do a baseball take on ballpark food.
So with the help of veteran Yankees announcer, John Sterling’s WCBS radio calls, we’ve included highlights, things to avoid and the best Stadium meal you can create.
