Polumbi's – Located downtown, West Side, it's where Eve had her first slice or real New York pizza - "Damn good pizza." It was a little place and had a counter that ran along the front window. In Kindred in Death, Eve tells Roarke she bit in and it was like her own little miracle and the best day of her life. Being free, doing what she wanted to do, eating pizza and watching New York.[1]

A hole-in-the-wall pizza joint - a crowded, noisy joint with the tables crammed so close together that the patrons' elbows bumped. When Eve and Roarke went there in Fantasy in Death, she said it hadn't really changed at all. She said she felt like her life could finally begin when she sat at that counter. They sat on squat, stingily-cushioned stools at a narrow two-top with the scents of spices and onions and cheap wine in squat carafes stung the air. The beer came in bottles and it was "still damn good pizza."[2]

When Eve asked if he bought the place, he said no, some things should remain constant. But they're keeping an eye on it, in the event the owners decide to retire or sell it. (So it could stay as it was, for Eve.)[2]

In Abandoned in Death, Roarke takes her there again: "[Eve] trailed off when she registered where they were. A few steps from the pizza joint, the one where she'd had her first slice on her first day in New York. 'You're always thinking,' she murmured. 'Of you.' [Roarke] brushed a kiss over the top of her head."[3]
