Though I live in New Hampshire I grew up in New York City, Staten Island. And I'm taking a trip down this weekend. Visiting family, old friends and... the food!
Big Bagels and Awesome Pizza!
If there's one thing I miss about leaving New York it's just that. Pizza is a bit lacking here... even though some people who live up here call it the best pizza on earth? (Of course they've probably have never been outside of New England!) But, I know what real pizza's like... besides that the bagels are huge! You get them fresh and soft from a deli not a supermarket (that's the only place we're able to get them up here). And the Chinese food is superb as well (come on, dinner rolls instead of rice in New Hampshire... are you out of your mind? That's almost a sin.)
Of course cuisine is better there because it is the melting pot of the world. I love driving through New York seeing the sights and different cultures.
I also get to see my family. I'm staying with my grandma who is from Sicily! The rest of my family is staying with my aunt, uncle and cousins.
Oh, yeah and sidewalks.. I haven't seen those since I've been to Boston.
Anyway, I'll be gone for a little less than a week.. Later..
Whoa I didn't know you grew up in Staten Island.:eek: I live there. What part of Staten Island did you grow up in?
