I was friends with someone from Vermont who had moved down to Arkansas. She was amazed by the huge gas and fast-food signs on the interstate that she had seen on the way down, and wondered if any of us had ever actually seen them get lowered telescopically to change the light bulbs.

ILXor: Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's also a mamouns right around NYU or at least there was when I was in school. It was cheap and good and now I want falafel.
The Merrit is my favorite road to drive. So twisty!

ive always thought pepe's & sallys were overrated
this is my fav ct pizza, note also coal-fired, but its really abt the sauce -- http://hartford.firstandlasttavern.com/about-us

mamouns is great b/c the falafel is priced accordingly. it's like $3.50. i went had lunch there with some friends before my wedding. it was like $2.80 back then. it can feel kind of hard nowadays to find falafel for less than $5. some places even charge like $8 bucks, fuckin ripoff
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 16:05 (nine years ago) link
The Mamouns on macdougal and cream cheese bagels from bagels on the square is basically how I eat for less than $10 a day in NYC
