NYC: Day One - Planes, Trains and Fast Food

"Next time, we're flying direct." -Thomas






Southwest to Chicago (home of some of the unhealthiest people in the world).

Seriously, though. No hating, but we were shocked at how many people at Chicago Midway opted for Mickey D's over the hordes of other cuisine choices available...

Upon suggestion from my little brother (who was born in Chi-town), we grabbed a gyro at Pegasus.





(we were happy with the suggestion)

After landing in Long Island, hopping the LIRR to Penn Station, and fumbling our way through the subway system to finally arrive at Spring St. in Soho, we finally surfaced and were chaperoned to The Red Bench (107 Sullivan St.), a higher-end dive bar with a bartender who could do the splits.

Perhaps the highlight of the night, however, was our late night run to Kool Bloo, a burger stand that prides itself on providing healthy fast-food options, but that realistically serves killer greasy burgers. What you order is what you get. I ordered a pineapple burger, and that's just what I got...a patty with a slice of pineapple between two buns, but let me tell you...it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. A must for late-night indulgences if you're in the hood.







(Tastes way better than it looks)

The perfect end to a long day of traveling.
