NYC Restaurants

Just steps from Grand Central you'll find Uncle Paul's Pizza. But this is no ordinary pizza joint. Owner Dino Redzic is pulling out all the stops with his marble-lined tribute to Italian food. Here you will find pizzas topped duck confit and caramelized onions ($22), or caviar and creme fraiche. Better yet, break the bank with Uncle Paul's Pizza with Maine lobster and grilled corn ($29).

But you don't have to spend big. The restaurant is also offering traditional pies with toppings ranging from meatballs and sausage to bacon and jalapeno. There is a pear salad with blue cheese and radicchio ($9), and black linguini with shrimps in a spicy tomato basil sauce ($16). Uncle Paul's is also serving up an assortment of homemade panini's and wraps for lunch on the go. - Thomas Rafael
