Dominick's Restaurant
Dominick's is located on Artuhr Avenue, a thriving Italian community that looks like it's been frozen in time since the 1950's. Grandmas sit out on the sidewalk, and kids play stickball in the streets. Dominick's has no menu - the regulars who come here know what they want and get exactly what they ask for - a veal chop stuffed with cheese, pasta with fresh clams, chicken parmigiana with linguine. The Italian food served at Dominick's is authentic Italian, much as if you went to someone's home. Ask the waiter for your fantasy Italian meal and watch it come to life right before your eyes. Dominick's is closed Tuesday and open the rest of the week for lunch and dinner. Reservations and credit cards are not accepted.

Liebman's Delicatessen
Liebman's is a traditional kosher New York delicatessen. Unlike the delis in Midtown Manhattan that cater to the tourism trade and are like the Disney World of delis, Liebman's is worth the trip for authentic knishes, pastrami and matzo ball soup. Some of the house specialities include stuffed cabbage, Hungarian goulash and briskett served traditionally with a potato latke and apple sauce. Dine at the restaurant, which serves sour pickles at the table or take out. Liebman's also can cater any party and offers packages ranging from a simple cold cut platter to a full dining menu for hundreds of people.
