Royal Crown Bakery

"The term “ladies who lunch” was probably created around 2pm on a Friday at Royal Crown Bakery in Dongan Hills, when the bridge clubs of Staten Island fill the covered patio area in front and share plates of shrimp parmesan and caesar salad. Grab a table, order sausage and broccoli rabe pasta, and tell your dining partner to kindly shut up so you can hear what exactly Trisha did. Or just head to their take-out deli area and order a vodka chicken parm hero to go—it will be a glistening, saucy beauty, just with slightly less drama. Royal Crown also has a bakery where you can pick up some tiramisu or Italian cookies. " - willa moore
