So we had a break from our NYPD RNC briefing for about an hour before Jack Shafer of Slate fame (who interestingly seemed to dismiss the concept of j-school in this Slate article<\/a> circa 2002) and I headed down Broadway to supplement my two-hour-old lunch of a single small apple.<\/p>\n

I came upon Absolute Bagels today, the best bagels in the city (according to Pacific Time on KQED) and had a $0.95 cinnamon raisin bagel with butter. It was firm enough, but also chewy and full of bagel goodness. The butter was almost like cream cheese, white and somewhat thick, so I don’t know what kind of butter that was. Plus, they dug me because I was wearing a t-shirt of the Thai alphabet (it’s a Thai-owned place) that Martin gave me. <\/p>\n

When I went up the street, still hungry, I popped into Koronet pizza at 108th and Broadway, just south of Columbia and about a block or so north of Absolute Bagels. Slice<\/a> wrote about them, saying how huge their slices were (see the picture<\/a>). I made the mistake of getting it to go and trying to eat and walk at the same time back to campus. I paid my $2.75 for a freshly-cut slice straight outta the oven and headed out.<\/p>\n

Perhaps for weight distribution reasons, they put the crust in at the bottom of the bag, so that it can be carried relatively easily. However, given that I wanted to eat and walk, this posed a problem. Hot pizza is quite hot, and when the bag constrains you from reaching in and grabbing it by the crust, I was forced to tear off bits from the tip and stuff them scalding hot down my throat before I could create enough room in there to pull it out and eat it with my hands. Verdict? <\/p>\n

Koronet is quite good, and for $2.75 is a feast. A bit dough-y compared to say, Sal & Carmine’s, but still a very solid slice. I’d like to try and get one sitting down so I can really savor it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
