When the latest installation of The Meatball Shop opened its doors on the Upper East Side last year, the lines were an hour long—and they haven’t let up since. On any given night, you’ll find hungry Upper East Siders huddled in groups along the block between 77th and 76th Streets, waiting for the text that informs you when your table is ready. Once inside, you’ll find meatballs galore, from sliders to “smashed” to “naked.” You can build your own creation, choosing the type of meatball, the sauce, and the sides. My personal favorite combination is chicken meatballs, pesto, and polenta. And they save the best for last, with build-your-own ice cream sandwiches for dessert (!), like Key Lime Pie ice cream between two graham-cracker cookies.
