Today’s lunch salad featured...

The Street Vendors' Food Fight (NY Times) →
From the article: In four weeks of business, the couple has been threatened at the depot where they park the truck; cursed by a gyro vendor who said that he would set their truck on fire; told to stay off every corner in Midtown by ice cream truck drivers; and approached by countless others with advice — both friendly and menacing — on how to get along on the streets. … In the last two years,...

Special: Our Dinner Options Bliss on Bedford Ave b/w N7th & N6th Occasionally I am too good for lunch, and I just save it up for dinner. Tonight finds me at the office, hacking at the keys as I grind my way to a second Pulitzer, and (as on so many other nights) hungry. Another excellent excuse to eat!
