But one good thing I did have up there was something called Crispy Everything Cream Cheese Bites. There's this chain of stores that sells only frozen food. Kind of expensive, but all good quality.

They kindly leave out the fake bagel. Good snack.

What in the world is it if it isn't a real bagel? Funny enough, all of the times I've been up in Canada, we've never eaten at a Tim Horton's. I believe I've seen on in Manhattan and I've never been intrigued enough to stop by.

Apparently, sliced bagels are doubly taxed in NYC if they are sliced with cream cheese spread on the halves. Yesterday I read about how one crafty NYC place is selling unsliced bagels with the cream cheese that is Injected into the uncut bagels, so this is to reduce the taxes because it is not a sliced bagel. Is that story even real? Because it sounded real when I read it.

Now they need to start fixing the $29 ham and cheese sandwiches (that is $29 without any of all the taxes and endless amounts of gratuity hidden or otherwise). It’s a ham and cheese sandwich that basically looks like something you would get in a jail cell. $29.

But that’s for your input.
Have you ever ordered at Cheeseboat on 9th Ave in Hells Kitchen? It’s a Georgian restaurant and I’m curious how the food is there.

Bagels in Montreal are at least as good as NYC.

I thought you were kidding, but then looked it up. I guess I never noticed which food items I buy that are taxed vice which aren't taxed. I figured that they were all taxed, but not thinking back on things when I buy candy or chips, etc., in NYC I'm merely paying the listed price without tax.

Apparently altering the bagel makes it a "prepared" food item subject to tax, which is insanity.

Well, who owns the bagel production in NYC? I heard many are produced in Brooklyn by a specific group of people that nobody is allowed to talk about.
