“I love New York because we order pizza from the Italian place across the street and have our laundry delivered. We take a taxi to the gym. We know exactly what we want out of life and careers, but can’t decide where to eat brunch. We make plans and don’t keep any of them. We think a studio for $1,500 a month is a steal, but get pissed when the coffee guy raises his prices 25 cents. We fight with cabbies about their driving skills, but we are 35 and have never had a driver’s license.”

most of these are in NYC, which is completely unsurprising to me.  i mean, i know that the mcdonalds across from the nederlander is insane, and the whole foods in columbus circle, and the barnes and noble in union square is enormous.

i LOVE dark chocolate, but i’ll eat GOOD milk chocolate, too. i’d definitely be interested in trying milk chocolate with different cacao solid percentages.
