money well spent

what does $10.81 buy you in new york? lots of things, probably, most of which you probably don't want. last night, though, i was reminded that it can buy you about 10 pounds of food -- good food, incredibly hearty food -- at mama's over on avenue b. wow. coldest of the year, yesterday, so i drag a friend there for dinner and a big 'fuck you' to old man winter...salmon, mashed potatoes, asparagus. though i lapsed into immediate food coma, it was well worth it. tim: 1 , this season: 0.
