replying to u/throwawayzies1234567: Ferdinando’s Focacceria. One of very few places in the city to get Sicilian specialties like a Panelle Special. They also have Manhattan Special on tap.
“I love this place - the arancini special, pasta con sarde and the spiedini special when they have it are all some of my favorite dishes in the city. Their grilled eggplant is also exceptional even if not a main draw.”
