Jon,

I agree that NY has some outstanding food. Unfortunately the only time I get to eat in real restaurant is when JDUB shows up and takes pity on me or the investment bankers / consultants want to have a good meal and I am the excuse. The new stipend doesn't cover the complimentary water and crackers in most eateries. The company cafeteria for lunch and a subway or the cheap salad place for dinner is the typical gastronomic fare for the day.
