New York Pizza Still Rocks; Pics of Serendipity's Bar

UPTOWN? The Gambit takes a look at old favorite New York Pizza: "You'd swear you were stepping into a pizza parlor in an Italian neighborhood in mid-1980s New York. Brown vinyl tablecloths, the requisite video game machine in the corner and big cans of tomato paste acting as sturdy table centerpieces all give the restaurant a pleasantly old-fashioned feel." [Gambit]

MID CITY? Red Street Car line on breakfast at Gracious Bakery and Cafe: The pastry menu is pretty varied and covers both sweet and savory. My favorite pastry... is the Black Forest Ham, Ricotta + Gruyere Brioche. The first time I had one of these reminded me instantly of my lunches on the run in Paris, the ever-present croque monsieur."

MID CITY? Newly opened Serendipity added several pictures of their swanky new digs to Facebook. Check out the gorgeous bar or as they call it, "The perfect place to enjoy a drink after work". [Facebook]
