New York Report - Eleven Madison Park

A truly great meal at Eleven Madison Park.

Black and White Cookies to begin.  An upscale version of a NYC classic.

Bread, butter, salt.

Egg cream, another NYC classic.

New York Report - New York Pizza Pie

If you are a food nerd like me and you want to be with your own kind whilst in New York, I can highly recommend Scott's Pizza Tours.  Scott conducts the tours himself.  He has an incredible depth of knowledge and passion for the New York pizza pie.

In a short 3 hours we covered the history of this iconic food from it's first appearance direct from Naples in the coal fired ovens of Lombardi's to the modern deck ovens of Joe's Pizza in Greenwick Village.

Stops along the way included Bari where they still manufacture pizza ovens to this day, despite being in the heart of Manhattan.

Pizza is one of America's greatest cultural exports and this three hour tour got right to the heart of it.
