Dan’s Place

By BILL RODRIGUEZ  |  February 3, 2010

Desserts, also made there, run from Reese's peanut butter cup cake to "Indulgent Cake of the Moment." They are only $3.95, except for the $2.50 grapenut custard, which we had. Good choice. Smile-inducing.

We ordered a pizza and a calzone to go. I'm glad we got the latter too, because the dough was very tasty. Vexingly, that is not always the case at pizza shops, which can render a calzone, where the dough plays a greater part, uneventful. We got the Greek version, which was extra tangy from the vinegary peppers added to the feta, olives, and tomatoes, and garlicky spinach. We also gobbled up our vegetarian delight choice under the dozen gourmet pizzas ($9.50/$16.75). It was heaped high with seven ingredients, including eggplant. I sure was glad that Dan's mom believes in large portions.

    The set-up couldn't be more straightforward: two strangers are having a conversation in New York's Central Park. Correspondingly, the set couldn't be more simple: a park bench in front of tall color photographs of its bucolic backdrop.
  •   REVIEW: TRATTORIA LONGO  |  May 13, 2013
    Preparing most Italian dishes doesn't require the complexity of organic chemistry. Fresh ingredients, a good recipe, well-timed cooking, and ecco! Benissimo!
  •   SOUR AND DOUR SOULS  |  May 07, 2013
    Some people are brittle and dry as tinder, but they don't have the sense to not play with matches. The two women at the dangerous center of Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane could blaze up at any moment, and we know that one or both will by the end. Each is filled with so much pent-up hatred that spontaneous combustion seems a distinct possibility.
