  2. Kens;

    I used to live near Joe’s of Ave U for many years – that’s my home turf. Good news for you: they have now expanded their hours, and are even open on Sunday.

    I went there a few weeks ago. Still pretty good. I’ll tell you the truth, I think there are two places that are better:

    -Ferdinando’s Foccaceria,on Union Street between Columbia and Hicks. This place has been there for over a 100 years – my dad used to go there when he was a kid. They are famous for their “Pane Panelle” special, which is a fried chickpea patty with ricotta cheese. Yummy!

    -Royal Crown restaurant on 14th Ave and around 63rd Street. Excellent food,and friendly service. Another feature of this place is that you can watch the wiseguys hold court, as a group of them hang out there. Despite the presence of the wiseguys, it’s not one of these places that would intimidate a person off the street.

  3. The whole ‘paying you to not rob me’ kinda sounds like what the Mob did/does. As in ‘pay me to clean your windows so I don’t bust those mofos up in the middle of the night’ or ‘pay me to protect your store so I don’t rob your ass.’ Ridiculous in my opinion.

  4. hey benson, I saw the thread but not the BG comment… just went back and read it. While I agree with some of it concerning lack of opportunity etc, the part about walking up to some kids and handing them money will get you an ass-whipping in a hurry… that’s about as condescending a comment as you can find.
