Numero 28

With four locations across Manhattan, Numero 28 has two full service Italian restaurants and two pizzerias. Each location produces pizzas using only natural and fresh ingredients, and it employs tried and traditional methods for preparing and raising the pizza dough. This combination of the great and the good has earned Numero 28 a 'Pizza DOC' stamp of approval. The DOC is to pizza what DOC is...

The sidewalk tables provide a spot to watch the eclectic Village crowd waltz by.

No slices here: The pizza comes in 12-inch rounds, or 18-inch or 29-inch oblongs fit for the whole gang.

"Real Italians" are responsible for the "perfectly crisp"–crusted "rectangular" pies from wood-fired brick ovens at this pizzeria mini-chain; the "reasonable cost" pleases the wallet-conscious, while a general "nonchalant" attitude boosts the "authentic" dolce vita vibe.

Tiny box stocked with men's looks, and boots and shoes for both sexes. In the heart of a touristy Village stretch, sells styles to match. B&T-friendly shiny shirts, embroidered jeans, silkscreened button-downs. Not quite a Chess King flashback, but close. Despite the small size, decent selection of footwear for the ladies; save your footsies from the rain with a new pair of galoshes.

Burrito baby of two San Fran expats who found themselves lost and alone in taqueria–slim NYC. Must have fed their sorrows at Chipotle, however. Familiar wood and tin design, straightforward carnitas/pollo asado/carne asada opts. But wood is reclaimed, platos rather than bols, and never, ever owned by McDonald's. Sustainable from pinto bean to sour cream. Woven stools and instrumental funk...

The Scene
There's no mystery as to the specialty here: A brick oven entirely dominates one room while the black-and-tan dining room features the history of pizza scrawled on one wall....
