"At the corner of First Avenue instead, you’ll spy one of the city’s best neighborhood pizzerias, Stromboli Pizza. Staying open till 5 a.m., it’s been a mainstay of rock bands and rappers since it opened in 1976. The Beastie Boys were fixtures here, and the slices ($3.25) possess a sweet tomato sauce with a sprinkle of oregano, a nice carpet of cheese, and a perfect crust." - Robert Sietsema
