John's Pizzeria is a tasty New York style pizza pie. They only serve whole pies, but come in individual sizes. We prefer the classic pizza. It's a mile away from the house, but we like to walk home and "work off the pie".

Best Restaurants for NYC Views
Hands down, you will marvel at this view. A few miles from the house, so best to Uber/Lyft. It's about $6 each way.

Supermarkets and Local Market
Options for no car (Key Foods, Oliva, Shop Rite and Ranch 99) and car (Acme). There is a shopping cart in the closet to use for purchases.
Great place for anything you may need, including made to order sandwiches. Packaged goods are more expensive than the larger markets, probably due to convenience.
