Patsy’s Pizzeria (2287 1st Ave.) has been a New York City staple since 1933, when Pasquale “Patsy” Lanceri opened the restaurant in East Harlem. Seventy-seven years later, the pizzeria is still going strong, and today, they’re celebrating their anniversary with an insane deal: they’re turning back the prices.
From 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m. today only, certain ideas on Patsy’s menu will go back to 1933 prices, meaning 90¢ steaks, 60¢ pizza pies and 10¢ sodas. That’s 20 times cheaper than what everything usually costs. One piece of advice: Get in line now!
