You know this thread would be about 10X better if any of you ever took some damn pictures of the delicious sounding food you are eating.

I am pretty terrible about taking pictures in general. I am usually too absorbed in the moment.

Ha! I did Next Door before JRAD. Great show, eh? Especially loved the Vampire Blues>Help>Slip>Hey Bulldog!>New Minglewood sequence to start the second set. Also the extended jam in Saint of Circumstance.

We did the Beer Collective before JRAD. Food was very good and my son enjoyed the tap menu. Stopped at Counter Weight before hitting New Haven
The show was nice and had a decent flow. One of the better shows on this tour, St Louis in February will be hard to beat. Will see the band next at Levitate in July

Beer Collective is my usual, and that was the other option we were considering, but the novelty of and better cider on tap at Next Door won out. We had intended to stop by Beer Collective for a quick one before heading into the show and submitting to $10 cans but we lingered too long at Next Door and headed straight for the venue instead so we could secure a nice perch for the show. I was glad we did because it got pretty packed.

I love the band and have yet to tire of seeing them after several shows in various venues and states over the past few years. As I've said before, they are the best form of Grateful Dead music these ears have heard since Jerry died (and probably even a few years before that, tbh). I like the Bobby songs better with Scott performing them, and Joe is a monster and mad scientist. Marco seems to be having as much fun as ever and Dave remains solid and underrated with a great groove. Tom seemed to have been a little less prominent than I recalled, and I didn't mind that. I think it had been almost a year since I had last seen them; but I saw Bustle In Your Hedgerow a few months ago and thought that was great, too.

To me, JRAD is Ratdog on a ton of Steroids and Dead and Company is RatDog +1
Saw Grateful Shred recently and they were entertaining and a fun band

Hope you got at least a Sicilian slice. That's what makes 14th St NYC special.

Got the meatball parm had already ordered.

It wouldn’t meet the needs of the New Haven hardooos but it was pretty good.

Not firm enough or enough char for the NH truthers.
 
All this hype about the new cupping pepperoni, pepes has been using it forever, very fine grind, no idea where it comes from. Gr8 stuff. My go to pie at Pepes (after clam, which is only good to eat in) is a tomato with double pepperoni and grated cheese. The girl knows how to confuse them when she orders it so when I pick up, it's wrong, they make me the right pie on the spot, and give me the mistake on the house

Yeah, nothing like New Haven.

The meatball parm looked like a good match for the crust when I was there in NY in January.

Are they set up w/slices (including Sicilian) at the counter?

Based on the website yes but Grub Hub...

Looked at Yelp & seems similar enough to NYC setup for me to see if the product measures up.

For context, Two Boots pizza wasn't remotely close to the ones in East or West Village (and it failed), and the former one at Grand Central was good enough, just not as good as the storefronts. There's no guarantee the quality fully travels (see Pepe's, Frank).
 
And a special barstool review - Ray Allen guest reviwer of Patzeria in NYC (not so good)

NY is a slice town, by that I mean you can get a decent slice almost anywhere and there are plenty of good places. The problem is there really aren't many or any truly great/outstanding places though, at least that was my memory of it and I've been to pretty much all the places people say are the true classics.

First off, weird statement. Second, Long Island has the real good pizza

6-9pm, unlimited pizza, which functionally speaking would have to be like fully enjoyable unlimited pizza in many varieties from Big Green Pizza Truck at a Common Ground High School fundraiser a few years back.

What's the cost at the door? I get out of class at 7 in New Haven. May swing by.

Agree 100%. Slices are the norm and there are B plus slices everywhere. They are large slices with great cheese, very good crust, and an orange grease of sorts. Yummy stuff, readily available, but none at the New Haven big 3 level.
