Waiter’s Customer Refused To Tip, Then He Found An Envelope She’d Mistakenly Left Behind

It’s May 2019, and Karen Vinacour has just finished her meal at Patsy’s Pizzeria in New York City. But following an awkward exchange with her waiter, she decides against leaving him a tip. And as Vinacour walks out of the restaurant, she fails to realize that she’s accidentally dropped something extremely valuable on the table.

New York legend

Located in East Harlem, New York, Patsy’s has been a mainstay in the Big Apple for close to nine decades now. Yes, the pizzeria first opened its doors back in 1933 thanks to the efforts of a man named Pasquale Lancieri. And in the years after that, he established a legacy that pizza lovers are still licking their lips over today.

One of the finest

How so? Well, Lancieri is often cited as the man who innovated the idea of offering customers slices of pizza – as opposed to the whole pie. Plus he apparently made the “traditional New York-style thin crust” pizzas famous too. Wow! That’s some way to write your name into the history books right?

Neighborhood hotspot

And Patsy’s has continued to endure throughout the years, building off Lancieri’s hard work. But what do the customers think of the place? Is it worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood? To get a better idea of that, both Tripadvisor and Yelp are loaded with different reviews from past patrons.

Glowing reviews

One user on Tripadvisor was certainly a fan, writing, “[I] took my three Italian visiting cousins to this establishment the other night. The vibe was cool [and] people were enjoying themselves. We were seated by a wonderful hostess. The service was spot on and the pizza is the best. [I’ve] made this our go-to spot.”
