Stop 1. Lobster Rolls Part Deux - Seafood HavenLobster rolls shrunk. It's still claw meat, but the chunks got smaller. Still tasty with the cheap roll it comes on, but that's what makes it work. No mayo, just Lobster and maybe butter. Since it's smaller, it was on to the other sides. Crab cake sandwich! Not bad. Soft, fishy tasting since it's real. Clam Cakes (one of their specialties) tasted...

I had my lunch in Union Square today. Great place for people watching. There are a lot of freaks walking around. Today’s highlight was this huge muscle bound guy with long hair walking through Union Square with his shirt off and his body all greasy. Looked like he came off the set on Xena: Warrior Woman.This is what the doctor sees when I’ve got bad tonsilitus. In Hong Kong there are these old Chinese people, usually women, who walk around all day collecting cans. You see them everywhere. So I was surprised to also see them all over New York. It makes me a bit homesick, but what’s with these people? Is this an international profession that only Chinese know how to do well? Or did Giuliani see them in HK and imported them to NY? For the women there seems to be a standard uniform with flower patterned Chinese button down shirts and black pants that are 3 inches too short. Most of them are seriously hunch backed. Is this because it’s easier to pick up the cans? Did they genetically evolve this way? I see them carrying these huge bags and feel like helping, then I realize tin cans take up a lot of space but don’t actually weigh that much.

Is this like when some white people put butter on or douse their rice in soy sauce but only much more advanced? Whatever it is, it’s strange. But if these are the flavors of the day and the sign is fixed, then that means the flavors never change…right? Why would you want to eat Cookies and Cream flavored rice? What’s wrong with plain old white rice? What’s with this sign? Is there a lot of illegal and indecent activity happening at this place? This sign and the confusing nature of this food place kept me from going in. Anybody been here? What the fuck is it?
