I want to introduce what
was my favorite place to eat at when I was on vacation in New York
three years ago. First of all New York City has wide range of
excellent places for dining in every price class. What I really liked
for example where the many Delis scattered around town. Delis are
some kind of mix between grocery stores and fast food restaurants
which often sell ethno-food depending on the area they are in. I
liked the ones focusing on Jewish specialities like Katz' Deli a
restaurant on the Lower East Side serving kosher styled food and
corned beef sandwiches too big to fit into your mouth. The place is
especially famous for being the location of a certain scene from the
movie “When Harry met Sally”.
As cool as this place was
it was not my favorite. An American friend of mine gave us the tip to
pay a visit to the “California Pizza Kitchen” mostly referred to
as CPK. So what about this place? CPK is not your normal Italian
place serving Magherita and Calzone. They serve California-style
pizzas. Which means a thin crust topped off with ingredients of the
Californian cuisine. This results in very innovative and for us
unusual kinds of pizzas since most restaurants wouldn't put lettuce
on their pizzas.
Some examples are the
Original BBQ Chicken Pizza the Thai Chicken, and the
California club pizza which is my favorite it is topped with chicken,
mozarella, bacon, lettuce and avocados. When my cousin went on a
Canada/US-East-Coast trip this year I told her to check this place
out and she ended up eating there four times. When she came home we
even tried to prepare the California Club Pizza at home and it didn't
turn out that bad. I'm definitely planning on going to this place
again when I'm in the States the next time and can only recommend
it!!
