Things White People Like to Eat - Market Day Edition

What the hell is Market Day? We had this every so often when I was in school. I don't really remember what years we had it, but apparently it was fairly frequent. All I remember is going to the gym during class, and being thrown around the room looking at boxes of food that somebody's mom was trying to sell. I didn't get it, wasn't that what grocery stores were for? Does anyone even buy anything from there?

Yes. Yes they do. White people do.

Subsidized Meal Week - The Second Half

After going out 4 nights in a row for some great food, it was time to relax for a night at the hotel, right? Hell no. Have you met me? I had two short nights to try out some great food, and I wasn't about to squander the perfect opportunity to try some great (subsidized) meals in one of the greatest cities in the world.

Thursday Night - Union Square...again.

Business Trip to NYC/NJ aka Subsidized Week to Stuff my Fat Face with Delicious Food

I was originally going to wait til the end of the week to write about my trip to Jersey City for work, but I spent way too much time thinking/dreaming/eating of food to postpone it. I'm afraid all of the food will go straight to my head and I'll forget.

The view from the conference room - it's been a bit hazy.

I decided to take advantage of the location of the NJ office and flew in early on Sunday. The weather has been awesome - I felt about 7 drops of rain on Sunday, and it's been sun and hot temperatures the rest of the time. But to whoever invented air-conditioning - I love you. Anyways, that's the NYC skyline above. Not a bad view, and not a bad place to stay, even if it is Jersey. I'm only a few short stops away from Manhattan on the PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson), so it's nice and convenient to hop across state borders to some nice restaurants and nightlife. Jersey City isn't bad - but there's not much to do here. And when you're this close to NYC...well, there's really no excuse, is there?
