Mom's visit day two.

I am not going to bore you again with my traveling over to the west side.  I have never been over to the west side this much and it is really kind of boring, I am glad I live on the East side of Manhattan.

We went down to SOHO today to do a little shopping.  All the hustle and bustle down there was actually kind of fun when you know that you wouldn't be spending your money.  My mom wanted to see some of the fancy ritzy shops that are not in the Des Moines Area.  Our cab actually put us right in front of a really really cool Prada store.  It was really nice the way the place was laid out, it was off of Broadway and I am sorry I dont remember the by street but it is down there.

Walking around the couple of blocks got a little tiresome so I took them to my favorite restaurant in NY Lombardi's and got a pie.  Having my taste buds explode one last time was amazing as ever.

Since we were right in the area I took them to China town (even though my mom hatted people trying to sell you everything), Little Italy (what's left of it), Tribeca, Greenwich, and the west Village. 

It was a productive day, but not that productive.  Tomorrow I will get them.

The best Pizza I have ever had!


I just came back from Lombardi's Pizza in Soho and it was some of the greatest pizza that I have ever had, if not the best.  They specialize in the Napoletana pizza.  It came out and it was so fresh and so good it was mind blowing.  From start to finish it was fantastic with a capital F followed by a capitalized ANTASTIC.  

One thing that I found interesting is the History behind this pizzeria.  Lombardi's started as a grocery store back in 1897.  Then it was established as the first pizzeria in America in 1905.  They must have a consistently great to be open this long.

You have to go try this place for your self it is just that amazing.  I give it five stars out of five.
