BENNY DICARTA’S

Smack dab in the middle of Bates Alley, Benny Dicarta’s is a perfect slice of happiness downtown. With slices bigger than your head, this is a can’t miss outdoor dining spot! We recommend stopping by every Wednesday this summer for a slice and live music during Beats on Bates.

There’s plenty of other outdoor dining available on Bates Alley too. Grab a beer at Green Top Tavern, indulge in a glass (or two) of wine at Tempo Vino Winery, or savor a hotdog at Coney Island.
