“A dollar slice isn’t hard to come by in this city. A good dollar slice is a different story altogether.
The best dollar slice in the city has arrived, and it’s at Percy’s — a cozy pizzeria at 190 Bleecker St., in Greenwich Village. For just one measly smacker, Percy’s offers up a tasty thin slice that crackles when you bite into it, thanks to the prowess of Italian pizzaiolo Giacomo Lattaruli. Not too salty, not too greasy, it’s lightly sauced and not overwhelmed with cheese or sugar. It’s a fantastic concept — let’s just hope it lasts.”

Hailing from Redhook, Brooklyn, this newish Gramercy delicatessen makes wonderful sandwiches. Three quarters of the floor area is an atypical open kitchen. The meticulous nature of their food prep yields all freshly made Italian-influenced sandwich stuffings. On weekends, they have what appears to be a local foodie who dons multiple headbands and dances to Eye of the Tiger-like 80’s style power rock on his boombox. For the vegetarian minded, try the eggplant parmigiana.
