The dilemma: Where to eat before catching Camera Obscura at South Street Seaport? The Wall Street area is totally weird. I don't really know any of the streets and always get turned around. Despite all the great bands that have played here, the last time I caught show at the Seaport was back in 1993 or 1994 when saw Meat Puppets and the Grays.

Out On The Scene with Ed Levine: Pizza at Adrienne's & Pastries at Financier
I became aware of Ed Levine in four stages. Stage One was reading about him in Ruth Reichl's "Garlic & Sapphires"; he's the subject of her chapter "The Missionary of the Delicious." Stage Two was seeing his books in bookstores: "New York Eats" and "Pizza: A Slice of Heaven." (The latter involved consuming 1,000 slices of pizza in one year; I wonder if I witnessed slice #1,001 at lunch?) Stage Three was seeing him on TV: he was a guest on "Molto Mario" a few times and then a judge on Iron Chef America. Stage Four was discovering his blog: Ed Levine Eats which I began commenting on. I think my commenting led Ed to me because before I knew it he'd discovered my site, became a fan, praised my controversial Le Cirque post (he called it "pitch perfect"), and invited me to "break bread." How could I refuse? Ed Levine is a New York icon.

It didn't take long for the hordes of downtown pizza fanatics to discover Adrienne's! At 12:05 p.m. yesterday, there were only a couple bar seats left and no tables. Now, Stone Street is the spot for Swedish open-faced sandwiches, decadent French pastries, and awesome pan pizza.

In Manhattan's Financial District, where the law of supply and demand is keenly understood, a new pizza partnership has emerged to capitalize on what we at Slice have noticed is a growing taste in the city for the "grandma" pie—essentially a thin-crust Sicilian.
