91 days of summer- 23

Food cart,
Queens, New York

Mediterranean.
Hot dog.
Is that New York, or what?


The food of New York!!
We have had gyros from the street carts.
We have had tamales from the lady by the subway exit.  (uh, yes, multiple times...)
We have had Italian.
And Thai.
And Mexican.
And deli subs.
(not a burger yet, though I was ready to get a hot dog- I was THAT hungry- outside the American Museum of Natural History last Saturday...)

Tim and I went to a Cuban restaurant in our neighborhood.  No menus.  Everyone spoke Spanish.  We had Cubanos.  It was the only thing I knew how to order.  Delicious.  This evening the entire family went to an Indian neighborhood and we wandered into a little Indian restaurant.  Again, no menus.  Little English.  We had amazing rice and beef curry and chicken curry and naan that we watched the cook put into the oven himself.  Man cannot live by bread alone, but that might not include fresh baked naan.

The food of New York- a global adventure!
