Posto 22

Having dinner @ Posto 22 on Thursday nights is like dining with David Copperfield. Allan J. Sherer, a lifelong magician has preformed for the likes of Robin Williams and Debbie Reynolds. His sleight of hand is something to see, but you won't believe your eyes. My pasta disappeared in record time, this however was my magic act.

               

The Curtain Shop

Blackboard Pizza- From Alpha to Omega

What happens when four friends pool their resources and collegiate attainments to create the ideal college hangout?  The writing is on the wall or shall I say Blackboard. This Iona college hot-spot for the nouveau  cuisine inclined feels like an upscale pizzeria in the heart of the city. The glass doors that open when weather permits, act as a maître d which invites passers by to come right in.

The cool thing about Blackboard, is that it's youthful demographic does not take away from the quality of the food. With a thin crust, the Neapolitan pizza is balanced and the sauce is fresh and light. The rice balls with marinara sauce are an appetizing appetizer.  For those not counting calories, try the fried nutella oreo's or Reese's pizza. Blackboard Pizza has an intriguing syllabus, lets hope they continue to be the most popular course next semester.
