For some fantastic wood fired pizza & other menu items you have to try the First & Last Cafe in Danbury, CT. Talk about a sleeper, the bar is a regular hangout but the dining room has food to die for, pizza is by far the best in... (0 replies, last updated by Roadfoodfan February 18, 2007)

on Friday went to cafe st. bart’s. at Park and 50th. You know-its the church with the outdoor cafe. Except we sat indoors and it was sort of like, well, eating in a church. In fact, the decor was so spare and unimpressive... (3 replies, last updated by G3B November 4, 2007)
