So guess who’s in town?

Yes, a dinner at Bobby Flay’s restaurant, Mesa, which requires reservations weeks in advance, and a free shopping spree at D’Agostino (grocery store) can only mean one thing: the rents are in town.

They actually just left… but I’ve been meaning to write this post for a couple of days now so I think I’m just going to roll with it.

Other prime dining establishments of the past few days include Blue Smoke BBQ, The Hairy Monk, and The Chelsea Market… all of the above: better than Palladium Dining Hall @ NYU.

There are actually reasons why I like when the fam comes to New York other than the good food, but none seem to come to mind right now ;)

ALSO.
Just a little over a month until the semester is over, so that means lots of work over the next 39 days but it comes with the reward of a four month summer in Florida so I’m ready, let’s get it done.

PS. I hope everyone survived April Fools.

So I’m walking home from class today, and I’m thinking “Ah, you know what would be delicious right now? A tasty Subway sub.” So I walk into my local Subway at 19th & 3rd and order up my favorite item from the Subway menu: the Italian BMT. I load up my toppings, get the value meal (cookies, not chips, fasho) pay, and head home. When I get upstair,s I select an episode of How I Met Your Mother on my TiVo and get ready to indulge in the delicious sandwich that has befallen me. But as I unwrap it and prepare to take my first bite, I notice this huuuge hair inside of the sub.

WHAT.

THE.

HELL.

Now I have quite a dilemma. Do I just take the hair off and eat it anyway or do I let my germophobe perfectionist self put back on my coat and shoes, and go down to a different Subway to order the same sandwich. I IM David Nathanson, my personal consultant, who tells me, “its just a little hair watch your show eat your sub i’m gonna go get a haircut good day for us both.” He’s right. It’s just a hair. It’s not going to harm me in anyway. It won’t effect the deliciousness of my sub. So I tell him okay, and sign off.

Anyway, when I get down to Subway #2 on 25th & Lex, they don’t even have my favorite herbs & cheeses bread! So I had to get regular white bread, and pay for the same sandwich again. But let me tell you: it was hairless, and it was delicious. The end.

Duuuude, I was posting one of these like every day. Man.

This week has been legit ridic, yo.

Anyway, Happy belated V-Day, everyone.
Mine was lovely, I spent it writing a paper.
Idk what happened to this being an “easy semester.”

So I went to Outback Steakhouse the other night since there’s one just a couple blocks down and I had never been to one in New York before. The meal was good, the waiters were friendly, whatever, whatever, but when I was looking at the menu, I noticed that the prices seemed higher than I remember them being at Outback in Florida.

When I got home, I did a little investigative work.

I went to outback.com, clicked on locations, typed in my home zip code of 33330, and pulled up the menu. At Pembroke Pines Outback Steakhouse, a Ribeye costs $19.95.

Then, I went back to compare. I typed in 10010 as my zip code and pulled up the menu again. Ribeye? $25.50! Whatttttt.

Ripoff.
