No, I think I am rightfully emotional about hating $1 pizza. The shit is fine as a cheap lunch, but getting a real NY slice is part of the reason tourists come to NY. It would be a fucking travesty if they thought they were getting a proper slice at a $1 shop.
Would it be okay if in Maine a bunch kiosks opened up selling $1 lobster rolls that were just fake seafood? Of course not.
Edit: I do think you are right about 2 Bros. Their $1 slice is respectable.
- jrockway 15y agoBased on the number of tourists I hear getting directions to Times Square, I can't imagine many of them are here for the authentic New York experience.
- jcampbell1 15y agoHa! I am sure most end up at famous famiglia. My goal with tourist is to be just nice enough that they have a good time but just mean enough that they don't want to move here. Have to keep rents down :)
- potatolicious 15y agoMan, here in SF we're rightfully proud of our burrito tradition, but you don't see me getting my panties in a knot when tourists in Fisherman's Wharf walk into a Chipotle. It's piss easy for anyone who even pretends to be a foodie to look up the good, authentic burrito joints in town. The ones that don't bother aren't interested, and that's perfectly a-ok. I think the same thing applies to NYC. Anyone who wants to have an authentic slice can very, very, very easily find their way to one.
