Midtown Snapshots: Some Tourists Are Smart!
I know my bashing of tourists is wrong (after all, we are all tourists whenever we go somewhere else) but sorry I can’t help it. It comes from working across the street from Rockefeller Center for 3 years, and being forced to walk through Times Square every single night to get home. But yesterday, I spotted this awesome group of Italian tourists in front of Murray’s Salami, in the Grand Central Market (I decided to stop by for a free sample of coppa.) The group had come up with the brilliant idea of buying some bread at Corrado’s Bakery, and combining it with some proscuitto from Murray’s Salami for a midday snack. Genius!!! It only goes to show that great food ideas transcend language and culture… well, that and Italians know how to eat.

Oh Rudy! Reading your posts is like opening a Wonka Bar, baby – we hope for the golden ticket but all we get is fudge. But hell, the BFT does agree that tourists suck. Slappies come out here from the midwest, put on a Padres cap and become a local overnight. Why just last week to break up with my hot but nutz Mexican girlfriend I had her deported back to the ‘ol country. So maybe she was a tourist, maybe not, I don’t know. But that’ll teach her a lesson in overstaying her welcome in “America’s Finest City.”
Jill — I’m LMAO. You know that for some of them that’ll be true! Then a year after that they’ll be living here complaining about toursits from the Midwest : )
