Many ideas have been suggested to straighten the Tower of Pisa, including taking it apart stone by stone and rebuilding it at a different location. The tower is also slightly curved from the attempts by various architects to keep it from leaning more or falling over. The top of the leaning tower of Pisa is about 17 feet off the vertical. There is a 297 step spiral staircase inside the tower leading to the top. The final story is the bell chamber itself, which has 16 arches. Each of the next six stories contains 30 arches that surround the tower. That's not saying much for Leaning Tower, but until they get some vegan food, I won't say much more.The bottom story consists of 15 marble arches. Leaning Tower is my "safety" bar when Red Dragon, The Bulldog and CC Club are too crowded. They have a standard array of draft beers which are reasonably priced. Their cocktails are sort of expensive ($6-8 a piece) and not too memorable, nor are they loaded with booze (unlike Red Dragon, a couple blocks up the road). The only appeal of Leaning Tower of Pizza is that it's open late, serves alcohol and generally isn't crowded. I'm not even sure it's worth the hassle of figuring it out, but I'll update this once I have the exact details. One vegan friend has told me that you can get a vegan pasta dish at Leaning Tower, but it requires lots of changes and substitutions, as the normal marinara sauce they use has cheese, so it has to be switched, and the bread has milk proteins, etc. As such, I must dock them a star for their stubborn ignorance to the fact that they're in a progessive, thoughtful, amazingly vegan-friendly neighborhood. I am tempted to give this place three stars instead of two, but they offer almost NO vegan food whatsoever and don't seem to realize that they're losing a massive amount of potential business because of it.
