"Brooklyn’s neo-Neapolitan legend Roberta’s debuted a huge location last year in the bustling restaurant district growing above Penn Station, making it a convenient NY pie pit stop before my train back to D.C. Walk up a fun stairwell splashed with art of a shark chomping on pizza (or take the luggage-friendly elevator, like I did) to find a surprise rooftop tiki bar in the center of the city. Because my boarding time was quickly approaching, I got its 12-inch classic margherita to go ($23). During my wait, an icy Evil Twin IPA and chat with my friendly bartender did the trick. The pizza pleasantly held up well at home five hours later. On my next trip back, I’ll have to try sleeper menu hits on the non-pizza front like tuna carpaccio, flatbread with stracciatella, and veal ragu pappardelle." - Nadia Chaudhury
