I love exploring pizza in NYC.
Thus far, I feel I have had my share of New York Pizza and have a few favorites, namely Patsy's on the Upper West Side.
Last weekend, we enjoyed Luzzo's Pizza on the Lower East Side with some fellow Cornellian's. Really East- like 1st Ave. east. Talk about a trek to the other side of Manhattan! It was very crowded and annoyingly cozy but the pizza was well worth it.
I absolutely devoured 4 slices of Luzzo's pizza and I'm not sorry I did. A new pizza favorite in NYC for sure.
Another development in NYC living.
I really dread grocery shopping for so many reasons.
I HATE fighting through the crowded aisles.
It just puts me in a terrible mood and lugging my groceries home
(which includes my 6-pack bottled diet coke)
is the worst!
Yes, they do offer delivery but it costs extra so I rarely do it.
I am usually feeling pretty brave at the check out line anyway,
I mean,
it is only 4 bags!
What a waste to have them deliver it!
But by the time I get home, 6 blocks later, my arms are literally ready to pop off my body.
It my least favorite about city-living.
One day, while browsing through Bed Bath & Beyond, I saw a "grocery cart".
I have seen both grannies and homeless people using them very effectively to tote around their belongings.
And so, I bought their largest one.
This cart has changed my life.
I think I shall call her, Melba.
A few days ago,
Rite-Aid got their weekly shipment and I was able to singlehandedly fill it up with mass quantities of diet coke and then carry it home all by myself with no pain. I felt so proud!
I sort of sheepishly filled up my cart with 9 six packs and a few jugs of water, hoping nobody would pay much attention.
The lady behind me in line laughed and asked if she could go ahead of me.
And I really tried my hardest not to notice the double takes in my direction looking at my diet coke filled cart.
I thought it might be a good idea to give up the diet coke, but then I thought again.

Ha ha. I can't believe you just now got one of those carts. You're arms must be pretty cut by now. I support you with your loyalty to Diet Coke. I have tried life both ways and it is better with Diet Coke. That pizza looks so good that I think Norah and I might have to come get some this summer.
I know, right? How have I survived without it?? A cart in the city is a must.
I am totally on board with Lindsey & Norah time in the city. In fact, I need Lindsey & Norah time in the city!
mmm that pizza looks way good and I love your new grocery cart. I might consider one especially since I have to haul Alex around in his car seat.
