So I've been in the city the last couple of days on business and have a few observations.
If New York is so influential in the fashion and business worlds, why haven’t they made comfortable running shoes out of patent leather that you could wear to work other than on casual Fridays? Perhaps everyone in New York has so many calluses, bunions and podiatrists no one here would buy them.
There are far too many pretzel & hot dog vendors relative to the number of Mr. Swirlee ice cream trucks. I wandered all over midtown last night and every street vendor was selling hot dogs and pretzels. I did finally find one lonely ice cream truck, but she was in the middle of a call on her cell phone and out of everything chocolate. At least I could still get a cherry-dipped Merlin’s Beard. It says a lot about a city that hot dog and pretzel vendors out number the ice cream vendors by more than 10 to 1. (This is a severe penalty to New York's livability score, let me tell you.)
There are so many people here that right now some one just like you is in Time Square taking a picture of a 20 foot, blue Elvis M&M. The real you would have preferred the picture of the grungy 6 foot Elmo, but you are one-of-a-kind. (I really mean that.)
The only section of New York I have been through is the Bronx. I can't say that I saw too many ice cream trucks or hot dog vendors. We did see an awful lot of stripped cars on the side of the road, however...
ReplyDeleteMatt-
Yeah, if I were you I wouldn't waste my time on the hot dog vendors. The hot dogs are both tiny and expensive. Definitely go find some random diner and get their house specialty. You won't be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI dislike so much about NY--ice cream to pretzel ratios just add to it.
