    Food is probably the best part of NYC.

    Not only that this is how New Yorkers are in regards to food,.. When in NYC and at a red light. If you arent immediately moving within 13 miliseconds of the light turning green,.. you will have an angry mob of honkers behind you.

    But,.. if you see a food cart,.. you can double park and get out to get some food and no one will say a word. They will drive around you and you wont even get a dirty look. Its like,.. Oh nah brah,.. he hungry,.. leave him be.

    Ive had my life threatened a time or two making a badly positioned left into the avenue that leads to hunts compound across 2 lanes of people. It's really intense when they start yelling, mob time.

    No, just yelled back and kept moving. It's not like they were going to do anything much. If it came to that, I would not be here. lol.

    Reading this Sunday morning. I CAN'T believe I jinxed myself!

    I was at the Javitts ALL day Friday (trade show, union labor, "we'll get to you when we get to you", etc.) I've gotten used to it being an all day thing so I get paid hourly. Well after 11 hours I'm finally ready to go and I blow an air spring!

    So yes, I did call roadside from inside Javitts and they had to send a service truck through the Lincoln Tunnel to get to me.

    Gotta remember to keep my big mouth shut, the gremlins are listening!

    Having grown up in NYC, there is no substitute for NY Pizza & Bagels. Something about the minerals in the water supply affects the dough.

    Yeah I grew up in NYC as well. Can't get a decent pizza any place else. Did find a place in Oceanside CA that has NY pizza but they were from NYC lol

    The food there does somewhat mitigate the aggravation that sometimes occur.....But u have to give a shoutout to the MTA.....for all those xtra long parking spaces on almost ever corner...with a Deli---Cofffee Shop---and Pizza Joint on each corner....
    Oh yeah.....the rates help too...,lol
