Could be food from the street vendor. Could be the coffee. Could be that I found a beige & chocolate brown cat hair on my sweater. (I miss you, Calder, schmoupy, my kitty-cat!)
Some things I've noticed about New York:
- There is no "ladies first" in New York.
- That pretty Vitamin Water always tastes like watered down Kool-Aid.
- Restaurants always try to frou-frou things up. (Green Beans Almondine really shouldn't taste like garlic. And why can't I get a plain old sandwich of something? Anything? No crusty, chewy fancy bread or thick, gooey fancy cheese.)
- Produce is really bad here. REEAALLLLY bad.
- People think New Yorker's are always at a high-pace, but they don't get on & off trains efficiently, and I've yet to meet a grocery/convenience store/drug store cashier who doesn't move slower than a snail.
- Almost everything is really inconvenient.
- Every cappuccino I've purchased has actually been a latte. And don't get me started on the mocha that started out with powdered hot chocolate mix.
- Places you see on TV that looked really cool before you got here, are actually pretty dumpy and disorganized in person.
- Macy's Herald Square is poorly merchandised, messy and difficult to maneuver through. (But the windows DO look nice!)
- Come to think of it, every store is poorly merchandised, messy and difficult to maneuver through, except on the Upper East Side.
- Central heating and air conditioning is unheard of in New York.
I'm sure I'll think of more. Perhaps it's all just bothering me extra today, since everyone's telling me the terrorists are going to bring bombs into the subway system. Would I die for this?
