Spent my adolescence going to S&C's nearly day of summer vacations. My closest childhood friend and I always grabbed two slices and sat at the table directly behind the column. Even though the original proprietors have passed on, the cheese slices are still world-class. The flavor of nostalgia probably enriches the sauce and cheese, but Sal and Camrine's remains the slept-on great slice in Manhattan.
Yeah unfortunately sal passed on maybe 7 years ago? But his grandson now operates it and was working under sal for quite a while before sal passed, and I didn't really notice a difference in the quality of a slice after the grandson took over. Unfortunately I moved to Colorado a few years ago and it's impossible to get even a mediocre slice here, let alone my favorite of all time
