"If you ask anyone at Rao’s where you should eat, they will undoubtedly direct you to Patsy’s. Another cash-only relic of East Harlem’s Italian past, the 1933 thin-crust, coal oven pizzeria is our top dinner choice for when Rao’s does not offer you dinner. Patsy’s is also refreshingly low-key, with casual dates and a couple of pizza pilgrims dining under Frank Sinatra's portrait's watchful gaze. These pies are great, cracker-thin and cheesy, and though the dense meatballs aren’t a patch on the ones at Rao’s, they do scratch the itch." - sonal shah, willa moore
