This is the most consistently good by-the-slice pizza place I've eaten at in NYC proper. I've eaten here 100+ times and even on Sunday evening they don't have those dried up rubber Frankenpizzas you see at some other places.
Funny after going here for so long I had never tried anything else but the pizza. About a month ago my girlfriend ordered a spinach calzone ($4.95) and we split it. Now if you live in NYC you know you can pay $14 for a calzone at a lot of place, so already at under $5 Famous Famiglia is ahead of the game.
It was so good we could have fallen out of our chairs.
FF Calzone Secret (observational speculation): The calzone dough is folded to its recognizable shape and partially baked. So, when you order they cut it open, stuff it with mozzerella, ricotta, and in our case spinach, then bake that sucker for a little bit until it's done and delicous.
I can't really explain just how good it is. The shell alone was like eating a great loaf of freshly baked bread. You'll just have to try it yourself.
Highly recommended.

At the age of 63 I guess I belong to the mammogram veterans.Today, I had my yearly mammogram at this place and never had it been so painful, never had I felt so humiliated, treated like an animal (well, I wish animals are treated a lot nicer!!). To Ms. Jennifer, my breasts and surely everybody elses are a piece of meat. One comand followed the other - not one nice word with it. I'm not even sure if the results are correct, for when I was told "hold your breath" I couldn't do it... West Side Radiology - absolutely YES - Just make sure Jennifer is not your technician! I don't want to think of those who have breast cancer and need to deal with her!
Pros: 59th Street West Side Radiology yes
Cons: Keep away from technician Jennifer!!!

I’m not particularly religious, but I do consider myself a spiritual person and have a fondness for Episcopalian-ism because it was my great-grandmother’s faith. St. Mark’s is the epitome of the ideal Episcopal church, in my opinion, even if it is not the most traditional. It is welcoming to everyone: young and old, male and female, gay and straight, of all races and all religions. It even welcomes animals once a year during its traditional blessing. I don't usually attend sermons (again, not really religious) but when I have, I've felt absolutely welcome.
St. Mark’s is one of the oldest churches in New York, but it is also so much more. It is an arts and social action center. It is the home of The Poetry Project (http://www.poetryproject.com ) and The Danspace Project (http://www.danspaceproject.org ). It is also a member of United for Peace (http://www.unitedforpeace.org/ ). More than any other church I've ever seen, I can say that St. Mark's reflects and benefits all that is good in its community.

Grand Central definitely is an interesting location to have a lingerie shop. This tiny shop, however, has a great selection of classy, not cheesy, lingerie. They usually run more in cost than Victoria's Secret, but nothing like La Perla. Names include Natori, Leigh Bantivoglio, and Only Hearts, so you know you're dealing with the good stuff here.
The staff vacillates between being very helpful or not helpful at all, so come to expect being on the receiving end of either when you go in. And I do wish they had more than one fitting room.

I love Philippe Chows Satay's in the west village. This 6th ave location is the perfect stop for a quick bite to eat or a realxing meal. At express you can relax in a pair of jeans, watch the news on tv and hang out with friends. This place is a visonary in the highend food market. Prices are perfect , you can dine or order out. They hold a standard which is nothing less then prefection. I give this resturant 5 stars. "A MUST HAVE"

I loooove the Filet Mignon Tacos en Cono!!!! The Lobster Tacos are just fabulous, the Guacamole so fresh and chunky that it makes me want to go back there again and again!
Add some of the best Margaritas i ever had in to the mix, along with a great selection of Tequila, a DJ spinning the best Latin music, and some models into the mix and there you go!!!
One Word: FABULOUS!!!
