NEW YORK

I think it’s fair to assume that pizza is the world’s most popular food (lactose-intolerant and glutensensitive people aside, I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like it). And, being that NYC is one of the pizza capitals of the world, our Essential Guide to Pizza can be your road map, whether you are just curious to try one New York slice, or do a no holds barred tour of our best dough masters around town. Elsewhere this month: Baseball is in full swing for both home teams (the Mets and the Yankees) and their minor-league aﬃliates. We’ve highlighted the must-attend games at all four clubs, from hot matchups to special events, to keep you sports fans entertained. Also entertaining: Taking a visit to distinct neighborhoods like Chelsea and Forest Hills. And, at the end of a hot day, if you’ve got a hankering for something frosty, we’ll point you to the right bar. Don’t you love summer?

STREET CRED

Head to Barbuto for a table: no walls required. As soon as the weather turns balmy in NYC, diners make like bandits for restaurants with outdoor seating, scrambling for a table the way children play musical chairs. And, in this town, restaurateurs have created innovative takes on the concept of outdoor seating. Take Jonathan Waxman, for example. The chef/owner of Barbuto converted an old garage space for his sophisticated Italian restaurant. In the warmer months, he keeps the side and front garage doors open to accommodate sidewalk tables that allow for a genuine outdoor feel. Waxman’s endeavors have taken him from culinary schools in San Francisco and Paris to restaurants in Nashville and Napa Valley. Barbuto offers expertly prepared Italian cuisine. Enjoy authentic servings of gnocchi and ravioli—and let that summer breeze waft over you to embellish the experience.—Jasmine Hu 12

This town offers dozens of top-tier pizza joints: Here are some of the absolute best. By Meryl Pearlstein

INSIDER TIP

PJ’s clam pie comes with cream, chopped-garlicmarinated littlenecks and a squeeze of lemon.

Limited reservations. If you can’t reserve a table, text 917.453.0339 for cancellations. WIne list and pork shank are as ravishing as the pizzas.

Create the perfect coalﬁred, brick-oven pizza with the must-order special “essence of garlic.”

Don’t bypass a starter of the super-fresh salad, dressed with a perfect vinaigrette.

Standout pizzas include black trufﬂe pizza and pizza all’uovo, with a runny egg and prosciutto.

If the wait is too long for the main dining room, ask about the upstairs, open-air terrace, which is lovely.

No reservations, but the restaurant opens at 11 am and closes late (midnight weekdays, 1 am F & Sa).

The Neapolitan-inspired white pizza with Brussels sprouts, smoked pancetta, ﬁor di latte, pecorino and garlic is the go-to here.

Cash only for these ﬁne, coal-ﬁred pies with paper-thin crusts.

Stay basic with the Margherita or meatball-topped Polpette. Don’t be confused by other Patsy’s spinoffs. This is the original.

INSIDER TIP

 Artichoke Pizza 22-56 31st St., 718.215.8100, plus seven other locations in NYC

A joy for late-night pizza cravings, open until 5 am.

This fast-casual pizza spot created rock stars with its hugely popular and filling creamy artichoke and crab pies.

 Rizzo’s Fine Pizza 30-13 Steinway St., 718.721.9862, plus one other location in NYC

Thin-crust square pies with tangy sauce and minimal cheese.

The secret: Pizza is cooked first in the pan, then finished in the brick oven. Rizzo’s Pizzetta Nutella dessert, a mini thin-crust pizza, is an absolute must.

 Kingsbridge Social Club 3625 Kngsbridge Ave.,

Graffiti-covered walls by Michael Tracy and pies including The Bronx Deli and The Wrecking Ball.

Sausage recipe is chef-created, and crafted by a Connecticut butcher.

Pizza is served with a knife and fork. Vegetarians love the white pie with ricotta and mozzarella.

The sausage and onion pie is a hit, as is the sausage and fennel, made with sausage from an 80-year-old recipe at nearby S&D pork store.

No reservations. Besides pizza, there is a full range of Southern Italian dishes.

Superb, thin, Neapolitan-inspired crispy pies. Order La Riccardo, with butternut squash, smoked mozzarella and pancetta.

Two popular choices are The Emily (white pie, pistachios, truffles) and The Colony (red pie, pickled jalapeños).

Walk-ins welcome; if you’re with a meatand-potatoes eater, he can opt for the limited-batch burgers. Save room for the s’mores calzone dessert.

Sicilian pies topped with tomato sauce on top of cheese.

The square-shaped pizza is so popular that standard slices are called “round slices.” It is de rigueur to end with a cup of spumoni ice cream.

 Paulie Gee’s 60 Greenpoint Ave., 347.987.3747

No reservations. Inventive vegan pies include In Ricotta Da Vegan with cashew ricotta.

The line is shortest before 8 pm Mondays through Thursdays. On weekends, arrive no later than 4 pm to ensure a fairly quick seating.

 Lucali 575 Henry St.,

Neapolitan calzones and pizzas are the order of the day, plain or with Lucali’s homemade meatballs.

Mondays and Wednesays are best days to go (least crowded). Planning to propose? The restaurant will write “Marry Me” in mushrooms on your pizza.

Designer neo-Neapolitan pizzas like the Speckenwolf with mushrooms and salt speck.

Ask for the off-the-menu Bee Sting, honeydrizzled with tomatoes, mozzarella and soppressata. Crazy wait times, so plan for a cocktail in the backyard before dinner.

This borough has what many consider the city’s finest thin-crust pizza at Denino’s. So fine that an outpost in Greenwich Village recently opened.

If you are a baseball fan, you are in luck: We’ve got a game going in every outer borough. By Rich Fisher

THE CRACK OF THE BAT, the roar of the crowd, the aroma of hot dogs and the bright sun glistening off the infield dirt. In New York summer, when New York’s entertainment options are endless, those sensations are among the most popular. And while a first-time visit to the Mets’ Citi Field in Queens or Yankee Stadium in the Bronx provides an excitement not found in many other ballparks, a glimpse of a future Mets or Yankee superstar is also available with a trip to see the Brooklyn Cyclones and Staten Island Yankees, the short-season, minor-league teams in the New York-Penn League. So, take your pick, and spend a day or night at your chosen field!

Although the new stadium is just 10 years old, it has maintained the look and feel of the original edifice, including Monument Park, still located in center field, which houses the teams 27 World Series trophies and plaques.

The Yanks have 12 home games this month, including the always entertaining Subway Series with the Mets July 20-22.

NEW YORK METS A World Series team as recently as 2015, the Mets have a new attitude under first-year manager Mickey Callaway. They also have two of the National League’s top pitchers in veterans Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, while Asdrúbal Cabrera and Yoenis Céspedes are proven, exciting big-league hitters. Citi Field recognizes both the Mets and New York’s National League history with architecture paying tribute to the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ebbetts Field. Head to the top of the park and be entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Met dancing in the food court. “Family Sunday” begins two hours prior to every Sunday game on the Mets Plaza, adjacent to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.

Mason Toy Truck Day.

BROOKLYN CYCLONES The Cyclones’ MCU Park, on Surf Avenue in Coney Island , just two blocks from the beach, has been deemed “the most

fun park in America” by FOX News. The location is perfect for a day of strolling the world-famous boardwalk, followed by an evening of watching a game. The 14-game July home schedule is packed with funfilled promotions. Fireworks take place July 1, 3, 4, 6, 14, 16 and 21.

WHERE IN NEW YORK

We’re addicted to frosty drinks

 New Yorkers love frosty cocktails any time of the year, but especially in the dog days of summer, the slushier, the better. Here are some of our favorite go-tos for drinks so cold you need a stack of cocktail napkins or a spare glove to hold ’em. Now that’s what we call frostylicious. For more great frosty cocktails around the city, visit wheretraveler.com

WHE RE I J U LY 2018

Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar The 16th floor of the Conrad New York hotel gets swarmed during the summer months, with natives and visitors alike cramming into the terraced bar to sample one of its prosecco and ice-pop cocktails. Views of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty are on the house. Zombie Hut This Brooklyn tiki bar has a rep for its Frozen Zombie, a Bacardi rum-based concoction with a secret weapon (it’s in the straw).

The Johnsons A circa-1970s watering hole for Lower East Side locals that looks like a suburban rec room, including sports league trophies and a vintage brown refrigerator. The drinks are cheap, and fans rave about the spot’s famed margaritas, as “potent,” noted one reviewer, “as the ones you used to sneak from your dad’s basement liquor cabinet.” Baby’s All Right It’s hard to resist a bar with a name as kitschy as this. Another Brooklyn

winner, this spot’s Pink Baby (frozen vodka, grapefruit) and Green Baby (frozen cachaca, matcha, pineapple and peach) are only $8. Mango Mango Even if you are not a drinker, you can still indulge in something brain freez-y and slushy. Head to Chinatown and this quirky bakery for a snow white mango slushy that consistently gets rave reviews from customers, such as one who swears it’s the most popular bakery item.
