How in the fuck do you do it? - Ilck!!! what a shit-hole

. I paid $10 for a fucking chicken sandwich with arugula... I guess plain old lettuce isn't good enough for you city types....

You can get anything in NYC if you can pay for it. If money is not the most important thing in your life, NYC is not the place to be

Ha, Sloats went to a tourist trap/Wall Street rich boy deli. Gotta know where to go.

From work, I can walk to Little Italy for a $7.50 lunch special with a chicken parm that's bigger than the plate, or to China town for $6 lunch special, or the all-you-can-eat Indian buffet, or hop the train to Katz's Deli for a pastrami sandwich the size of your head, or the Spanish place for a three course lunch for $9...or just go to the deli across the street and get a hero for $5.
And, I can walk out onto a pier that goes a 1,000 feet out onto the Hudson River, sit on a bench and enjoy the quiet and a nice breeze while I eat my lunch.
Then I can walk over to Washington Square Park and watch the NYU students, the dog walkers, etc.

After work, there are tons of good bars. $3 beers till 10. Then there's The Bitter End and Elbow Room for some great live music.

Walking Canal Street is like swimming up-stream, but if you pay cash and know how to negotiate, you can get stuff dirt cheap.
