The Little Ceasars Drive through in Darby is usually a stop on my way home from Sunday Phillies games. Once we stopped there after a loss and they were closed. Worst Sunday ever.

Go to Michigan. Still going strong there.

My wife is from Michigan, so we had some one time when we were out there.

Really awful.

Do they still do the pizza pizza and require you to get pizzas in even numbers only?

Also does Pica's have a drive thru?

If it gets a response, and the response builds, this usually leads to a new thread on that subject. Sometimes, there is a response, but a relatively brief one, and then we move on to the next thing. And sometimes, a thought gets no response at all.

That is usually the sort of thought I post in ths thread.

THIS is the random I'm looking for!

But WFO, I'm gonna have to disagree. The local places, by no virtue of fresher ingredients or different ovens, can be so so so much better. I can rank six local places I like better, but only one delivers. I much prefer to take the 40 minute round trip to Roxborough to get Alex's when I can. But as someone said, the local places have lower lows, also. It takes some local knowledge to get it right.

Totally agree about local places, even in NYC. There are good ones and bad ones. At least with the national chains, you get consistency (although I haven't eaten any chain pizza in years).

Also, I think Dominos added 40% more cheese.

While no one questions that there is plenty of great pizza in NYC, I hate it when people talk about it like you walk into any corner shop and will get a delicious slice. I've had some very middling pizza up there, both from random chances and suggestions from people who live up there and just aren't discriminating at all

Which part?

Motorino in Williamsburg -http://www.motorinopizza.com/
DiFara - http://www.difara.com/
Paulie Gees in Greenpoint -http://www.pauliegee.com/home.php

My top 3.

Got lots of other Brooklyn food recommendations if you want too.

A lot of local places are just bad (or at least pretty bad in comparison to other places nearby). They get by because they are close by or on the way from the subway to home or open late or whatever. A lot of people are not adventurous eaters, they find a place they like and they stick with it, even if its mediocre.

OK, Brooklyn Heights area.

Let's see...Park Slop has gotten really family friendly, but in the Brooklyn Heights/Dumbo area that you can walk to.

Noodle Pudding
38 Henry St
Italian - cash only, no reservations, very kid friendly (I see kids and high chairs all the time there), really good. Wait will be 30 minutes or so, my top choice though

Teresa's Polish-American Restaurant
80 Montague Street

La Traviata Restaurant
139 Montague Street
Italian - affordable, not pretentious, plenty of space in the back.

Lantern Thai Kitchen
101 Montague Street
I like their curries

Grimaldi's is also in that area, but I think its an overrated tourist trap.

Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory is great too, if your kid can eat ice cream (plus its really cold).

If you have a car, I'd go to Pies N Thighs in Williamsburg for fried chicken, Motorino in Williamsburg for pizza, Al Di La in Park Slope for Italian, Peter Luger in Williamsburg for steak. All except Luger are really family friendly (and I've seen kids at Luger too, but they don't have a children's menu or anything).

Went to a broken sprinkler pipe call yesterday at a new-ish townhouse that was "abandoned" due to foreclosure. I expected an empty house- but it was fully furnished; complete with like a 60 inch TV and full surround-sound in the living room. Bed was rumpled and unmade; toothbrushes still in the rack; there was even food in the dog's dish. I didn't check the fridge or drawers- I bet there was still food and clothes.

Now I know what happened sucks, but how do you just move out and leave all that stuff? The foreclosure hadn't happened yet; they took the keys and nobody could get in so we had to break in. How do you do that??

At least they didn't leave the dog behind....
