Weekend NY trip in August

We stay at the Sheraton Times Square and ride the subway to Yankee Stadium. One trip on the subway we met a man who had not missed a game since the early 60’s.

I was last at that Sheraton way too long ago, but the location can't be beat. I also camped at the Marriott Times Square (a ton of rooms). If you do anything "Times Square" for a hotel, beg for a room that doesn't face Times Square. You don't want to end up stacking things on the curtains to keep them in place to try and keep the light out. The Asians do properly fitted blackout curtains, the USA, um no.

L’Industrie or St. John’s on Bleeker for pizza. Both in West Village (the original L’Industrie is in Brooklyn)

If you're in the East Village or LES, I enjoy Jonny's Pizza, Joe & Pat's, Old Fashion Pizzeria, and Village Square. There are also multiple "$.99" pizza places that are, like, $1.50 now. You'll see them all over, but always worth the price.

If you're in the West Village, John's, L'Industrie, and Joe's are going to be the popular spots. L'Industrie's West Village location is a bit of a mess with crowds. I'd much rather send you across the bridge into Williamsburg for the original location. Plus, there are better pizza spots nearby (e.g. FiNi, Ace, Best, Vinnie's, etc.). If you're up for a short walk across McCarren, can also stop for a pie at Chrissy's. Has a bit of a cult following on social media, but one of the few 'viral' food spots I've actually liked. Price sort of sucks, but worth getting once.

ETA: In general, there are New York threads almost bi-weekly. Recommend doing a search and reading through the many recommendations, both for pizza and accommodations.

If you're gonna do the Bronx for the game, Times Square and 9/11 stuff, just pick whatever hotel you like in Midtown Manhattan. For pizza, our spot is New York Pizza Suprema right near MSG.
