I was trolling around Craig’s List this morning when I stumbled upon a true gem. To celebrate its 75th Anniversary, Patsy’s is “Rolling Back To The 1930s” with 60 pies and 10 cent sodas. I can hardly believe my eyes. Patsy’s boasts an old coal oven that has been in service since they day they opened their doors in 1933. Often lumped in with the six other Patsy’s locations around New York, the original spot stands high above the rest. It’s located in East Harlem, which was once a thriving Little Italy, inhabited by Northern Italian immigrants (mostly wealthy professionals) and Southern Italians (Patsy Lancieri hailed from Naples). Today, the area is undergoing massive changes with the redevelopment of Harlem, but Patsy’s remains relatively unchanged, producing one of New York’s quintessential slices.
