"If you’re getting dinner with someone you wouldn’t necessarily bring to a desert island, you should at least get some kind of consolation prize. At Joe & Pat’s in the East Village, that prize is pizza. This is the second location of one of our all-time favorite pizza places (the original is in Staten Island), and they serve some of the best thin-crust pies you’ll find in the city. The space is somewhat generic, but the vodka pies are excellent, and you shouldn’t have a problem getting a table." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, neha talreja
