Does Patsy's have the best pizza or is what's so great the ritual of driving up 1st Avenue to 118th St to what was once Italian Harlem on a Saturday evening with Sharon, trying to find a good place to park, ordering without looking at the menu, being recognized (Sharon) by the waiter, reminiscing about our other trips up there, links in a chain of coal-oven pizza nights at Patsy's. All of that & just knowing about a New York semi-institution, a place New Yorkers go.
