The city’s slowest elevator – I almost pushed the emergency button, certain it had conked out – takes you to the indoor-outdoor second floor with 220 seats, more than half of them outside.
Owners Carlo Mirarchi and Brandon Hoy made a deal with Vornado Realty Trust to launch two-level Roberta's in a small new building called 1 Penn East, turned into a welcoming pedestrian mall.
Even so, I was skeptical that the new Roberta's would live up to the original. But the kitchen crew has the drill down.
Amazingly, the pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes that thrill customers at the cramped but cozy, wood- and-stoned-framed original Roberta's tasted every bit as wonderful in an expansive setting.
