I realized I always write about asian cuisine. Well today I went for some
PIZZA
My friend bought me to Lombardi's because she said the pizza was yummy. Lombardi says they are the first american pizzeria. The restaurant was authentic (in my terms because I've never been to a pizzeria in Italy). It had a lot of small tables with checkered tablecloths. Pizza was served on an elevated plate to save the space.
We ordered a small pie which was around $15 for six slices(two starving peoples; we were able to finish it of course). We also added one topping for $3 which was their handmade meatballs. Their were a lot of toppings from different kinds of cheese and sausages and italian bacon(?); they were priced one topping for $3, two toppings for $5. So that the more toppings you choose, the greater the deal (but not really, they're tricking you haha)
In about ten minutes the pizza came. (Yay! so fast!) The pizza was delicious. The cheese was not shredded mozzarella but more like sliced from the "block", so I think it keeps the flavor and makes it cheesier. Crust was thin, which I like. Lots of tomato sauce which I also love. The handmade meatballs were also delicious but I complain that they gave us too little :P
The bill ended up $20, so about $11 from each person. We calculated each slice was $3, so it isn't overly expensive for pizza in new york. especially a good pizza.
But what was tragic was...I DROPPED A SLICE ON THE FLOOR. it was both embarrassing AND sad...
I think it's also a tourist attraction in SOHO, so there's going to be a wait for a table. I think it's a great place for friend gatherings. Friendly environment, and waiters were nice.

I'm planning to be vegetarian for a week. Simply for health purposes, but I want to see how it'll go. Any advices? Suggestions? :)

Wowwwww I want to eat one of those humungous slices of pizza one day!
I tried to stay a pescetarian for 2 months but miserably failed.. But going vegetarian is a good reason for eating more fish! I enjoy eating fish and tofu; they're filling and they don't make you feel bloated like meat does. That's what I like about being a pescetarian :) Good luck!
Being a vegetarian for a week.. :O That will be quite a challenge. I don't think I myself would last a day or two, but GOOD LUCK. Advice? Hm.. I'm not a vegetarian, so I can't help you there. :( :(
PS. The pizza looks YUMMY (I like your YUM YUM ramblings) :P
