"Anything that comes out of Mark Ladner’s kitchen could go on this list. I couldn’t choose just one thing so I opted for a drink, as every list should have a drink! I love a Negroni, but this one is aged to perfection (for six weeks!) and takes the cocktail to a whole other level."

"We get this delivered at home about once a week (I live close enough for it to arrive warm). Made with mozzarella, Grana Padano, Pecorino, ricotta, and béchamel, this perfect, thin-crust pizza travels well."

"After all these years and all of the sandwich hysteria, the mortadella tramezzini from Bar Veloce is still the best cold sandwich in NYC. Editor's note: this is offered when the mortadella is available."
