I could feel the energy from all of the people swirling around me on the street. On one of those trips home, I went straight from the airport to hang out with some friends on the Lower East Side.<br /><br />After drinks, around 2 a.m., I remember driving up Third Avenue in a cab and seeing that pizza place. I thought, "Man I need some New York pizza right now." I asked the driver if he would stop so I could get a slice -- which he did -- and I got him a slice too, grateful that he would wait for me.<br /><br />F--k you, Funkiberry, and the hyper-gentrification wave you rode in on.NYCJoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-70400951737744760782014-04-17T14:57:27.162-04:002014-04-17T14:57:27.162-04:00Who is scarfing down all this frozen yogurt?

Given how slender most New Yorkers are, and how barely economical the fro-yo is, am I missing some hidden or ghostly tranche of people whose cuisine consists only of this stuff? Hasn't NYC, even with 8+ million people, reached fro-yo saturation? Also, given how pricey rents are these days, are these fro-yo outlets selling enough product to maintain their leases?John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-83934998910714352122014-04-17T13:37:24.005-04:002014-04-17T13:37:24.005-04:00Maybe City Reliquary?
