PIZZA PIE

Is it ever possible to each too much pizza? Each day we seem to find more and better pizza. In fact, we often go in search of it, that can’t be healthy. Following a late start to the day as our body clocks struggled to change hemispheres, we headed out in brisk sunshine to explore Midtown. We took in all the major sights, from both above and below. After sunset, we went to Café Reggio in Greenwich Village, made famous for introducing cappuccino to the USA when it opened in 1927. The original Espresso machine now sits against the back wall keeping an eye on its domain. We then walked around the corner to John’s Pizzeria in Bleecker St, which opened two years later. As we sat in the old restaurant eating excellent pizza pie, I thought of all the people who would have walked from one to the other over the years. Apparently Hemingway and Jackson Pollock were regulars and JFK once visited, maybe even Frida & Diego. A rich history, and never too much pizza.
