The debate is as older as the pizza styles themselves.The Pizza Challenge: Chicago vs New York ! A number of food critics and food lovers tried to compare the thin crust of the Big Apple City’s pizza to Chicago’s thick crust pizza and find out who’s the winner. But all FAILED. The palaver usually goes nowhere and as enthusiasts of each city’s signature are equally passionate and different. Both cities have long traditions and histories of making pizzas. Chicago and New York are the best cities for the pizza lovers, as both offer many variations of their own style and unique recipes with their unique blend of flavors.

In New York City, pizza is one of the great street food because you can just fold it and enjoy it and keep walking. Different toppings of the pizza are acceptable but plain slices are actually one of the most authentic experience. Regular slices with mozzarella cheese and light tomato sauce, it an ultimate tripping experience.

Chicago Style Pizza

Book cheap flights to Chicago– the city which is famous for its deep dish pizza, which is more likely a pie- Deep, full of sauce and loaded with toppings. From top to bottom the famous Chicago deep pan pizza can be arranged like this- the crust, sliced mozzarella, pepperoni or sausage, onions, mushrooms and bell peppers and finally uncooked canned tomatoes.

So the ‘Big Question’ is “Which is the Better One”? Of course, no one can answer this question as both are unique and different in flavors. It would be difficult to choose which one is better. The crusts are different, the sauce tastes different, each is constructed in a uniquely different manner. Its simply like comparing a chocolate cookie to a chocolate pie.

New York Style Pizza

The two pizzas usually don’t taste at all alike so its even more difficult to give an accurate or partial judgement. But still we tried it to brief few differences:

Crust 

New York City: Crispy, thin crust with a thin layer of tomato coulis, assorted toppings, and lots of cheese.
Chicago: thicker, deep crust with an inch-deep smothering of cheese, toppings, and again a layer of tomato sauce.

Toppings

New York City: Limited amount of toppings because of the thin crust and on-the-go nature of the pizza slice.
Chicago: A generous amount of toppings reaches several inches in depth due to the thicker crust and pie like structure.

Servings

New York City: The traditional slice is triangular in shape just like a piece of pie or cake.
Chicago: It is served in portions in the same manner as a casserole.

Cheese

New York City: A very thin layer of mozzarella.
Chicago: Several layers of cheese.

Amazing Things To Do In New York City https://www.luxfares.com/getaways/amazing-things-new-york-city/ https://www.luxfares.com/getaways/amazing-things-new-york-city/#respond Thu, 22 Feb 2018 12:05:06 +0000 https://www.luxfares.com/getaways/?p=369 From Wall Street’s skyscrapers to the neon of Times Square to Central Park’s leafy paths, New York City pulses with an irrepressible energy.

From Wall Street’s skyscrapers to the neon of Times Square to Central Park’s leafy paths, New York City pulses with an irrepressible energy. History meets hipness in this global center of entertainment, fashion, media, and finance. World-class museums like MoMA and unforgettable icons like the Statue of Liberty beckon, but discovering the subtler strains of New York’s vast ambition is equally rewarding: ethnic enclaves and shops, historic streets of dignified brownstones, and trendy bars and eateries all add to the urban buzz. But all of the tantalizing options can also make it hard to plan a trip, so instead of trying to see, eat, drink, and do it all, take cheap flights to New York City and put these 20 musts—from iconic landmarks to local favorites—at the top of your list.

Metropolitan Museum of Art

It would be possible to roam the labyrinthine corridors of the colossal Metropolitan Museum of Art for days. The Met has more than 2 million works of art representing 5,000 years of history, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead; looking at everything here could take a week.

Times Square

Hands down, Times Square is the most frenetic part of New York City, a cacophony of flashing lights and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds that many New Yorkers studiously avoid. If you like sensory overload, the chaotic mix of huge underwear billboards, flashing digital displays, on-location television broadcasts, naked cowboys, and Elmo clones will give you your fix.

Empire State Building

With a pencil-slim silhouette, recognizable virtually worldwide, the Empire State Building is an Art Deco monument to progress, a symbol for New York City, and a star in some great romantic scenes, on- and off-screen. The views of the city from the 86th-floor deck are spectacular, but the views from 16 stories up on the 102nd-floor observatory are even more so—and yet, fewer visitors make it this far.

Museum of Modern Art

Art enthusiasts and novices alike are often awestruck by the masterpieces they find at the MoMA, including Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Van Gogh’s Starry Night. In addition to the artwork, one of the main draws of the museum is the building itself. A maze of glass walkways permits art viewing from many angles.

Brooklyn Bridge

One of New York’s noblest and most recognized landmarks, the Brooklyn Bridge stretches over the East River, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. A walk across its promenade—a boardwalk elevated above the roadway, shared by pedestrians, in-line skaters, and cyclists—takes about 40 minutes and delivers exhilarating views.

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

For millions of immigrants, the first glimpse of America was the Statue of Liberty, growing from a vaguely defined figure on the horizon into a towering, stately colossus. Visitors approaching Liberty Island on the ferry from Battery Park may experience a similar sense of wonder. The neighboring Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration tells the story not just of Ellis Island but of immigration from the colonial era to the present day, though numerous galleries containing artifacts, photographs, and taped oral histories.
