Central Park

Mandalay


Quench your pizza cravings with locals and the Mandalay expat community, especially on trivia-night Tuesdays (7pm), which is popular with teachers who, along with students, get discounts. The pizzas are large, made with local ingredients and more than decent, even to a New Yorker. Burgers, pasta, and beer on tap.
