Today, I got a rare glimpse of what I remember loving about living in New York City. I know every New Yorker has been singing this song for..well..ever, but you must understand, this time I mean it. More on New New York later. Today I was offered an unsolicited IOU by one of my favorite takeout pasta/soup/sandwich vendors in midtown (image above). I could’ve borrowed a buck from one of my work buddies, but I thought I’d exercise the privilege. I’m a huge subscriber of the “vote with your feet” doctrine. I work hard for whatever money I earn and I think there’s something to be said about quality service or those that express appreciation for your patronage. Having had the pleasure of witnessing all of my favorite food spots increase prices and buying my very first $40 half-tank of gas recently, I hope know the Bush administration is enjoying the raise I got last year. It’s rare that I get the feeling that we are all in this together but today I did, thought I’d share. Later suckers.
