A New York State of Mind
Things have been hectic here in my cousins' house lately, and unfortunately I haven't had much free time to post. Today is a slow day, so here goes:
NEW YORK
A couple of days ago, my mom, my brother, and I took the 1 hour and 30 minute trek down the NJ turnpike to the great city of New York. My mom and JA, having never taken the bus before, were understandably a little trepidatious, but I was loving it. When I stayed over at my cousin's house last year, I did this trip a lot. I settled in quite comfortably and flipped through my new book "Hanging out with the dream king", a cool little book filled with interviews of a number of Neil Gaiman's collaborators. The book kept me occupied for the duration, but as we approached the Lincoln Tunnel, I put it away to indulge in one of my favorite sights.
As you take the turn from the turnpike, the road arcs in a gentle slope affording the commuters a chance to view the majesty of the Manhattan skyline. Sadly, fog had set in and I was disappointed to find that the familiar view I was longiong for - Chrysler building, Empire State, etc.- was blanketed by a sea of whitish grey.
Then the bus plunged into the darkness of the licoln tunnel and I mentally began preparing myself for the day. We soon reached the end of the tunnel, and our NY experience really began.
As the darkness gave way to the greyish light of the morning, the city exploded into view. Granite walls hugged us, and a current of electricity surged through us (or me anyway). As we turned in to the Port Authority, I knew that I was finally in the NEw York State of mind that everyone keeps singing about.
I won't bore anyone with details of our shopping trip, but I want to talk about one place: Lazzara's Pizza. We found this place completely by accident, but I am glad we did. If you're in NY and you want truly special Italian food, amke your way to LAZZARA'S PIZZA on 38th st. between 7th and 8th avenue. You won't regret it.
While I'm at it, everyone back home in the Phils. should go to the Landmark Foodcourt and try NIELSEN'S, also a truly great italian place which should get more customers.

I hope you post more about food! I think food describes a place and it's people in a way that nothing else can.
I'm back!
