Eating out
As you know I had a nice kitchen in my apartment but I had neither time nor desire to cook. I often bought groceries either from a grocery store or a supermarket on my way home. I would buy a loaf of bread, a carton of milk, a dozen eggs or a pound of butter. Sometimes I bought a submarine sandwich from a local deli, or maybe a couple of hamburgers or cheeseburgers from a takeout place for my supper. But I had to eat out for most of my meals.
I tried to go to a different place each time I went out to lunch during the lunch break, or to dinner after work. At first I always asked Rich or some friends from the office to come along. Some of them insisted on treating me to a meal. Then I would insist on treating them. After an argument we would, as a rule, go Dutch.
Eating out in New York is no problem at all. There are so many places to eat. Their names are also different — restaurant or cafe, cafeteria or coffee shop, pancake house or steakhouse, pizza place or sandwich shop, eatery or simply grill. Some of them have proper names like "The Pines". Others are named after their owners like "Maria's", or former owners if the place has earned a good reputation. You can even eat at a deli. When you buy something they ask you: "here or to go?"
The competition is so strong that you can always find a good meal you can afford. From time to time almost all restaurants make "special offers" of cheaper meals. On Sundays, when I liked to sleep late, I always looked in the papers for a "Sunday brunch special".
