MJSailors, you are certainly right about the City water affecting the taste of bagels and pizza. I grew up on Staten Island, and always had delicious bagels and pizza. The best! We moved to NJ four years ago, and tried so many pizza places, but to no avail. Any time we go back to the Island, our grandsons ask us to pick up a pizza and bring them home. One of our great Italian restaurants on the Island, Denino's, has opened two restaurants here in NJ, and they have the water shipped to them here. I can attest to how delicious their pizza is here. Both restaurants are only a half hour from us in each direction. mo&fran, enjoy your cruise!!!!! I worked on Staten Island and my wife and I met for the very first time in Clove Lake Park.We have friends that lived in Staten Island and moved to North Jersey about 5 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately did not find the gold at the end of it...sigh...no free cruise for us. 😉 Love this. So fabulous to see how the rainbow splits the sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small world we live in!! I loved living in and growing up on the Island. Living so close to Manhattan was convenient. The Island has gotten so crowded now. Traffic had become a nightmare. Where did you work on the Island? I loved working in Manhattan years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 10 summers, I attended day camp on Staten Island and daily passed Clove Lake and Silver Lake Parks on Victory Blvd to get to the Henry Kaufman Campgrounds. Best summers of my life. @h20skibumLooks like a wonderful day at the car show. Great to see folks enjoying themselves after being cooped up so long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted June 20, 2021 #20131 Share Posted June 20, 2021 All this talk about the city is making me miss it. But I'm not going until masks are not required on trains and subways.😏 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted June 20, 2021 #20132 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Luckynana- We have had some luck in Florida with some pretty good pizza. Not sure if those places import NYC water to make the pizza dough. The pizza on Princess Cruises comes close to what we consider good,hometown pizza. I worked briefly in Manhattan at Lord and Taylor in their customer service department. This was right after college when teaching jobs were scarce in the 70s. I did enjoy working in the City. Often,I would do some shopping on Fifth Ave before getting the subway home. Needless to say, my paycheck went in a hurry some weeks! 🙄 George C I enjoyed my high school years at CK,class of 1970. The school was literally separated into two schools. One was the girls division,the other ,the boys division. We shared the cafeteria,some clubs, the yearly school play and dances. I knew some of the boys from my neighborhood and Richmond Hill and Queens Village. I am still close with six girls from my class. We are more family than friends.Those HS years were some of the best years in my life- so far! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelplus Posted June 20, 2021 #20133 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I had a Tutti Frutti Salad Bar and somehow managed to create a cheese board too!

We get pizza from the Staten Island Deninos as well as Joe and Pats and Jimmy Mack’s! Joe and Pats is my favorite but they keep making it thinner and thinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had some really good pizza in Florida in a few locations, agree Princess pizza is really good, but MSC pizza is the best by far. Most of my friends graduated a few years before your class. Not close to high school friends but normally see my friends from my block every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that the season with that total dbag Danny? Worst season ever, although this current season isn't far behind. Looks like Captain Sandy is coming back, along with Malia (can't stand her).
