CANNOLI!

Not the prettiest but the most delicious cannoli that I have ever hard courtesy of Shepherd University's dining hall.

King's New York Pizza

This local restaurant chain is more than likely no secret to the residents of the area. Considering that this is a New York style pizza place in West Virginia, it is not far from authentic New York pizza. King's is owned by a group of brothers from the New Jersey/New York area with five locations locally: four in Berkeley County West Virginia and one in Hagerstown, Maryland.

I myself have only been to the Inwood, Martinsburg, and Shepherdstown locations but they are all comparable. In the area just over a decade, they have found their niche and taken off well. There are "New York Pizza" joints all over the place but this local chain is the most authentic you will find in the area, speaking from experience in having pizza in New York.

Aside from having excellent food, they run a very strong and quality operation, which can be contributed to their success. The Berkeley County area has changed dramatically over the past decade, becoming a large bedroom community for Washington, D.C. For life long residents of the area, it was most likely a newer experience for them to have authentic New York pizza but as time elapsed, it has become a favorite. For the newer and the more cultured residents, it became local restaurant serving good Italian food.

I frequent the Martinsburg location as it has a nice pizza parlor feel for grabbing a quick slice for lunch, whereas the the local Inwood location is more of a sit down restaurant. Aside from just the pizza, they have excellent subs and pasta dishes (may I recommend the chicken parmesan?).

Don't Do It

I have never liked the idea of a pizza buffet and have always wisely stayed away from them until recently. Against my better judgment, I went to this place for dinner. To sum it up, don't bother. Yes, it is cheap but also bear in mind that you get what you pay for.

Belly Kiss Photos

Is it me or is it hilarious when a pregnant women gets a photo done of their young child posing next to their belly? I cannot help but to see a young child's face up against an ass. Tell me that doesn't look like an ass!?

Hulk Hogan: Amazon Shopping

Is it me or does it appear as if Hulk Hogan has been doing some shopping on Amazon?

DC Improv - Norm MacDonald

I have completed yet another enjoyable trip to the DC Improv. This time, Norm MacDonald was the special guest from such movies as Dirty Work and Billy Madison and television shows Saturday Night Live and self titled sitcom Norm.

I had the opportunity to meet Norm after the show and like the other Improv comedians I have met, he was very nice and down to earth. It is refreshing to meet people that are well known that are actually nice people. I currently do not have any plans to return to the Improv but I intend on it once future guests are named.

Again, I urge taking the trip out to your local Improv location for a good and relatively inexpensive experience.
