Manhattan Pizza Opens
If you had asked me, I would have thought that the seating for forty would have been overkill. Apparently that is not the case. “Yesterday the dining area was full,” Besnik told me. “And today was crazy.” I asked Besnik how a new pizza place could be so busy in its first three days of opening... and I also wanted to know what the favorite selection was. “The people walking by have been checking in to see when we were going to open,” he said, "Word of mouth is also very effective in this area. Our best selling pizza has been the 'Sirloin Steak with Damned Hot Peppers'.” Other items that caught my eye on the menu were Chicken Jalapeno and Cream Cheese Wantons (not on my diet), and the Chopped Clams, Romano Cheese and Capers (pizzetta made to order). Actually, all of the pizzettas looked mighty tasty. I did manage to try a slice of what I believe was the Villa Grande (onions, fresh mushrooms, pepperoni, green peppers). I really enjoyed the slice even though I had just come from eating a very late lunch. On my next visit I’m going to go on an empty stomach and try one of the personal pizzettas... or one of the strombolis. Of course there are plenty of other options to choose from including subs, paninis, wraps, soups, wings, fingers, salads, calzones, pasta dishes… and a few different desserts to choose from as well.
Manhattan Pizza offers take out, eat in and delivery. Stop in and grab a menu to take back to work with you (catering, parties, and meeting room available). Remember, these guys are also open on Saturdays (opens 11am) along with Mon thru Fri (opens 10am). Give them a call (716) 842-1986, or stop on in at 244 Delaware Avenue (near the corner of Chippewa).

Great Public Spaces: Route 5 Lands In The PPS 'Hall of Shame'
Here's something to ponder over the weekend. The Route 5 debacle has just snagged a spot in the organization Project for Public Spaces' Hall of Shame. After reading RaChaCha's post on the Ten Great Qualities of a Great Street (criteria from PPS), a couple of members of the organization (who saw the post) flew into Buffalo. RaChaCha and I toured them around and showed them all of the Cobblestone District advancements as well as the area in and around the Commercial Slip. When they … - Today, 6:26pm

Carl's Constitutional Convention
Carl Paladino is shaking it up once again, and next to the calling for the toll barriers to come down, this may be a hit with the general public.
"I'm asking our legislative candidates to vote for a Constitutional Convention," Paladino said. "This can happen every twenty years, the last time being 1996, but it hasn't been done since 1938."
Paladino's objective, he says, is to get both houses to vote by majority for a referendum on the ballot. This, he explains, would put to vo … - Today, 1:28pm

Hoax Revisited
The Nicole Kidman/Studio Arena hoax that recently hit the media is an opportunity for some discussion about the way news travels these days, and begs comment on the phrase "Any publicity is good publicity".
After speaking with someone closely related to Studio Arena, who wishes to stay anonymous, it seems like the Kidman hoax was timed perfectly—in order to circumvent corroboration—and named just the right names in order to look plausible. Add to that the fact that many of t … - Today, 12:51pm

Can't wait to check it out. The slices look good in the pic. It's nice to finally have some NY style options around town. Are they gonna tend to the needs of late night drunken Chip-Strip revelers?
Though it will be hard to beat the new Joe's NY Style Pizzeria at the corner of Amherst & Grant. They are the new king of NY style pizza in Buffalo. Makes Zetti's (my previous favorite) look like cafeteria fair. So good that I'm gonna have to up my cardio regimen to get a weekly dose.

I miss the Shebeen. I remember eating a pizza on the patio there late one friday night. We ordered it and had it delivered so as not to interrupt the drinking. I have a pic of Newell eating pizza. A bit of spooky foreshawdowing perhaps?

TownLine.. yeah they took over Flappy's not sure what happened to them the signs went up for renovations / opening their second location and never came down.
Always good to have more pizza options, do they deliver? Or is this a must go there kind of place. Still looking for a decent delivery place that will come to Allentown.

Ahhhh, the Shebeen. Good times without a doubt. In my mind, the occupant of that space will always be a let down after the Shebeen...but such is life. As far Flappy's goes, I liked the concept - traditional Buffalo food. The real problem with that place was that (a) the food wasn't that good (b) they tried to replicate the feel of a big plastic menu chain [why??]

Damn- thats a good pizza.
Just left there I have to say the place is impressive. The dining room was big, very nice especially for a pizza joint. The staff was extremely friendly.
I had to start with cheese and pepperoni, tho it was tough seeing some of the others the chicken fajita as well as the veggie pizza looked amazing. The pic above does these pies no justice. The prices are right on and the selection is great.
I see this place doing very well. Word of mouth is going to be key- send some pies to the bartenders up and down chippewa they will do the rest for you. Not to mention the hampton is right there as well as many office buildings. I thought I overheard a staff member saying they were open until 4am last night (friday) I hope thats the plan for anyday chippewa is busy.
Good Luck

We finally have a p;ace to rival any of the "Ray's" in NYC. Now, believe me, I love my Mister Pizza, but sometimes I have a hankering for a good NY-styled slice and this IS the place - and right around the corner, too. As for delivery, I asked and thye said next week.

Is this the same Man. based on Kenmore? If so, you all may be disappointed. It's pretty average at best.

Just had lunch here today. The pizza is definitely the best NY style I've had here in Buffalo. Crust was just right.. thin, yet crispy. Sauce and cheese were delicious. Definitely my new favorite.
