New York vs. Dom's Belly: Days 1 and 2

Well, here I am on my yearly pilgrimage to NYC, this time accompanied a fellow grad student pal SJ, and of course, staying with my very generous friend LT.

Day 1

We start things off right by drinking a couple Sam Adams on the train.
We arrive at Penn Station by train at 9:30pm and head up to LT's in Harlem to drop off our stuff. We then make a beeline back to the Columbia area to grab gigantor slices at Koronet.

My slice:Sarah's slice:Om nom nom nom!
Then SJ's friend R takes us to 1020 for some beers. I have a Brooklyn Pilsner and a Hefeweizen.

Day 2

Breakfast (in the far right tail of the probability distribution for breakfast time) at Kitchenette. Our waitress, Ebony, loves my haircut and SJ's coat. We love her for providing us with omelettes, biscuits, cheesy grits, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

I heart places that assume you want hot sauce.
SJ takes pretty pictures.Work all afternoon like good grad student bees in a coffee shop, then grabbed some groceries at the West Side Market and headed back to LT's place to make dinner: risotto with spinach, sauteed cremini mushrooms, and smoked gouda.
Take note: it has garnish and is overexposed. This makes it fine dining.
More to come, as my belly continues to battle with the wonderful gastronomic Godzilla that is New York City.

Shouldn't we correct the distribution for prototypical New York vacation breakfasts?
