This thread is so entertaining - I just wasted the first 1/2 hour of work reading through it.
I'm so glad I live in NYC where I can eat cheap Afghan like I did last night, expensive Italian like I will tonight, and pick something else for tomorrow (cheap or expensive, Italian, French, or whatever).

I also love the "snooty NY" thing that gets thrown around - here and in other forums. If people think NY is a snooty place - good. Hopefully that image keeps people away - the City is too crowded anyway.
