<icontent>     Arrive in NYC tomorrow at 10:38! Whoo hoo! After we get to our friend&#39;s house, we are heading to Da Fara&#39;s for a slice. I usually get just cheese since I don&#39;t eat meat, but are there any vegi selections I shouldn&#39;t miss? I live for NY pizza!    </icontent>

<rcontent>     &quot;Veggie selections&quot;?    A traditional New York pizzeria will make pies with peppers or mushrooms,and maybe onions. Oh, and you can also get anchovies -- not veggies, true, but they aren&#39;t meat. More daring pizzerias may make pies with basil leaves.    Absurd pizzas with bok choy or alfalfa sprouts are not something one would tend to find in a Brooklyn pizzeria, and most pizza makers and pizza eaters in NYC would consider any pie with pineapple on it to be an abomination that makes the angels weep.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     The artichoke pizza is a specialty at Di Fara, so much so that a new pizzeria in the East Village (called &quot;Artichoke&quot;) has been touted as &quot;the Manhattan answer to Di Fara.&quot;   Some links re: the artichoke pizza at Di Fara:  gothamist.com/2008/04/02/is_artichoke_a.php  …wordpress.com/2008/…  timeout.com/newyork/…new-yorks-tastiest-ten  So yes, if you like artichokes, get that. I&#39;ve heard that if you&#39;re going with the artichokes, the square pizza is better than the round, but haven&#39;t tried it myself.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Sorry, I was going from memory calling it Da Fara instead of Di Fara. I know I could get banned from this forum for such a thing! ;) Love artichokes! So my plan will be a slice of the artichoke and a slice of cheese. ha. Gotta always have a plan.    </rcontent>

<rcontent>     The square pizza outshines the regular pizza here. When you bite into it, it has that &#39;special crunch&#39; that only Di Fara can make.     Be prepared to wait, and there&#39;s no organized line either.    After lunch, head to the corner of East 11th or 12th street (same side of the street). There&#39;s a bakery on the corner called Ostravitsky (sp). It&#39;s the best bakery (and cheap) in the neighborhood. They close early on Friday for the Sabbath. My guess is they close at 3:00 on Friday this time of year.    Please accept this information as a hug/kiss to my previous comments.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Is Di Fara pizza much different than John&#39;s or Grimaldi&#39;s? I had both on my last visit and liked both. I&#39;m wondering if I should venture out to Di Fara to try the pizza but if it&#39;s not too much diffent than the above two maybe I should try something new this time.   </rcontent>
