The best and biggest slices of pizza in Brooklyn, NY?
Obviously, the op doesn't want to pay twice as much.
good place for a surprise birthday party for my grandma 60Th birthday
I think you'll need someone's house.
Best Italian hero sandwiches on Staten Island
I find their cold cuts to be great. Their daily specials as well.
They also deliver. If you cannot pass by, I'm sure they'll send/fax you a menu.
Hope it meets your needs. :-)

Is there ANY decent food in/near Galloway?
I don't know how you feel about Greek food but if it's something you'd consider, I definitely rec this restaurant. Really fresh food served by friendly staff in a casual atmosphere. Their prices are very reasonable. Here's a link..
Have a great vacation. Please post your experiences.

Best Italian hero sandwiches on Staten Island
You're correct. There are so many places!
I like the selection at: Little Italy Gourmet. Not inexpensive but great tasting sandwiches and a great selection of 'old school' meats.

Brigantine Dining: Family-Oriented Seafood Spot?
I just ate at the Pirate's Den last wknd. While bkfst and lunch are really nice, and they aren't open too late, don't be reluctant to have dinner there as well. I had a delicious salmon special. I'm not crazy about the Crab Shack and I'm not familiar with the Laguna Grill.
For Pizza, we like Andre's and for really scrumptious ice cream, brave the lines and hit up Aunt B's 3307 W Brigantine Ave Brigantine, NJ 08203 609-266-1600
This site might give you some finger tip info.
You're going to have a wonderful time!

Brigantine Dining: Family-Oriented Seafood Spot?
I love Brigantine!...
I'm sure you'd enjoy The Pirate's Den. Very family friendly place for well prepared American food.
Excellent breakfast and lunch as well. Check out their interesting blackboard specials.
In season it fills up early. Best to make a reservation. L'arogosta for red sauce italian.
Enjoy your vacation!

Need Help find a good location for a Baby Shower for about a 100 people in the first week of Sept 2011
Excellent idea!
I also think if it's a Sun afternoon, it's possible you may be able to work an 'in house' deal, incl soda and beer....possibly house wine, but that would be pushing it.
Jordan's Lobster Dock? Worth the trek?
Jinx is absolutely accurate ..Not worth the trip
Enoteca Maria ~ SI
"Yes, I forgot to mention the Led Zep -- that is a charming touch that I especially appreciated"
I've heard Led Zeppelin 's music described as many things,,
but,adding 'a charming touch' has got to be a first...Lol!

Best takeout pizza on Staten Island?
Depending on your friend's mobility, the Hilton has Lorenzo's off the Lobby, which is a pretty decent restaurant that's easily accessible and physically very comfortable. The Staff is very accommodating. Lorenzo's kitchen staff might even be willing/able to make a pizza for you.
If your friend can manage it and you're going to be there on Sunday, their Buffet Jazz Brunch is not too costly and makes for a relaxing meal. Same goes for their 'Sunday Supper' Buffet which starts about 5:30pm.
This Hilton also has a spacious lounge area where guests can just relax and converse.
If none of these are good options for your friend, the Front Desk Staff is helpful and will probably be able to make suggestions/provide menu's as to good pizza in the immediate area.

Sounds like one for my 'Must Miss' List.
Not to worry: It'll be gone in a few months.
Trader Joe's on Staten Island?
Can't you contact an existing TJ's and ask them to connect you to Mgmt or Cust Ser?
I'm sure they could help you.
Went to Pairings in Cranford
Thank you very much for this informative, well written review. :-)
Marlton funeral lunch :(
I'm sorry to read of your difficult situation. I'm not familiar with Marlton.
If no one here can offer any suggestions, you might want to ask the Hospice staff
or even the Funeral Home staff for a rec.
I wish you and your family the best.
Nicchio Ristorante - Belmar
Thanks joonjoon. If you can make a meal out of apps it might work out well.
The fried calamari served with spicy marinara sauce has been delicious every time. They do watermelon 'sticks' wrapped in prosciutto that are wonderful and the mascarpone dip served with house made pasta chips is obscenely good.
Please let us know how it goes.
Nicchio Ristorante - Belmar
Returned for dinner with a group of friends. This time, our experience was somewhat uneven.We shared a variety of creative and very well prepared apps.
(See my previous post of 5/13/11.)
Entrees were hit or miss. Pasta's were pretty good, athough the portions were too small for the prices and they foolishly accentuate that by serving in ridiculously large bowls. Heavy handed with salt seemed to be the most universal complaint.. Aside from the pork chops which everyone liked. meat dishes seem to be their weak spot . EG: A simple dish like the chicken parm was dreadful in terms of preparation and taste. While entrees were served promptly, the kitchen was not able to maintain the temps, so some entrees were tepid, some hot. That's something an experienced kitchen staff should be able to control. It was not busy at the time so that should not have been a factor..
Service was excellent from Host to Server including the pleasant young ladies who kept our bread bowls and water glasses filled.
Desserts are just ok, but $12 for their signature sundae is ridiculous.
We'll go back again but we might just have an app only meal.
Lovely atmosphere, great location but based on this visit, the kitchen needs to tighten up.
Coney / Brighton/ S. Brooklyn for post Nathan's hot dog contest eating
Yes many people do love their pizza and those that do will (And should) rec it...
I'd agree that their spumoni/ ice cream is pretty good

Sluggo...If you're referring to past postings RE: DiFara's being really good but really overpriced and REALLY overhyped, I stand by those posts.
As for L&B's, you posted, above that you don't like their Pizza, so why on earth would you rec it to the OP? ..... Makes no sense to me.
I would think it would better to make no suggestion at all rather than one you know is not good

It's just that their food is pretty bad and their pizza is just awful, unless someone craves tomato paste on a thick, doughy crust..
Need a Good Restaurant in NJ ........close to Staten Island
"Just an aside. Red Bank isn't anywhere near Staten Island, in mileage, mentality or attitude. Just saying......."
True dat :-)
Walking around Bensonhurst
Start at 86th St and 24th Ave and walk down to about 18th Ave. Then explore 18th Ave iinto the 70's..
Nicchio Ristorante - Belmar
Hmmmm... This place is really 'Roller coasting'
It's really puzzling since we've now dined there 3 times and each time we've enjoyed a variety of different dishes as well as some well received previously ordered repeats.. I've only been there om weekends so now I wonder if the inconsistancies are due to a rotating (wkdy Vs wknd) kitchen staff's lack of ability RE: Preparing specific menu items? After having read Joon joon's excellent review above (See 5/12/11,) and my own experiences, meat dishes seem to be a weak point. We've mainly stuck with Apps/pasta's/fish. and been very pleased with our dining experiences
I'll be there with some friends next weekend. If the opportunity presents itself with the appropriate personnel, I'm going to bring it up. I'll report back
Juanito's - Red Bank
Thank you for a detailed yet not overly long review. I'll have to check it out. :-)
