I’m sorry, but when I crave a NY pizza, that is definitely not what comes to mind. Much to my relief we found the classic pizza place—fluorescent lighting, hardbacked booths, beef patties, Sicilian slice option, etc... After finishing my pizza and watching my toddler enjoy slurps of her first Italian rainbow ice, I was in heaven. <br /><br />While I was waiting to order, the guy ahead of me, this big yet intimidating teddy bear of a guy, offered to pay! He wants to do it, he says, no offense intended, I look like a nice person, please don’t take it the wrong way, etc... So I thank him and let him pay, declaring chivalry is not dead, and we have a brief, nice chat. He didn’t want anyone knowing about his wonderful gesture, but I’ve gotta share this story because this is the kind of thing that no way happens at an artisanal food truck, you know? I kid you not, he didn’t share his name, he was just a guy picking up food to take home to his family. His only request was that we continue to patronize the place. Kindred spirit. <br /><br />People get into what’s new and trendy, that’s obviously one side of NY, and I don’t want to knock on anyone trying to earn a living and find a creative way to do it, but I’m happy to stick to the classics and will keep patronizing them in the hopes that they can stay in business for as long as they like. I agree, who knew “Party Girl” would be so prescient? But then again, turf wars in NY? If I’ve been working my cart here for years, am I not going to tell you to take your fat truck ass off my curb and am I going to do it politely?
