Michelin Guide: Looking for some of the best pizza in New York City? Head underground (feat. See No Evil Pizza)
In the busy 50th Street subway station near Times Square, riders might forget their daily problems, at least for a moment.
With a vision to break people out of their routines, restaurateur Adrien Gallo has brought iconic songs to the hollows of the subway system. He first replaced a Duane Reade storage area with futuristic cocktail bar Nothing Really Matters (think: Madonna). Then, he transformed the hookah shop next door into Tiny Dancer Coffee (think: Elton John). He has now brought us yet another song, See No Evil Pizza (think: Television), replacing a Dunkin’ Donuts.
The restaurant's design alone is a feat, but the food is extraordinary, delighting tourists and locals alike. Beginning his career at Gramercy Tavern (One Star) and Eleven Madison Park (Three Stars), Chef Edward Carew cooks with sincerity, focusing on making every guest feel welcome. Gluten-free options and standouts like braised tripe impress even the pickiest of eaters.
