Going to NYC would love some suggestions for:
-Best pizza around bensonhurst
-Best sit down italian restaurant on Arthur Ave

Much appreciated!

My personal rec for Arthur Ave is Zero Otto Nove. There is also of course Enzo’s and Patsy’s Rigoletto. Hard to go wrong over there IMO. Madonia Bros, Mike’s Deli, Café al Mercato inside the Arthur Ave Market for old school Sicilian street food like trippa.

Bring a bunch of guys with you and we can make a Chicago Bronx crew and mob up on Arthur Ave.

Where in Sicily is trippa a street food?

From what I understand, in Ragusa.

Oh, ok, I think it's because we call it differently. In Palermo it's known as quarumi which is veal tripe sandwich, or pani ca meusa, which is a spleen sandwich.

Yes, defintely saw the pani ca meusa often in Palermo. I don't recall the quaumi sandwich but then again I certianly wasnt looking for it! aracini and panzelle work fine for me!
