NY style tends to taste best to me, though those stuffed spinach pies in Chicago are also great. But my Ur-pizza is the thin crust cheese slices at Little Steve's in Boston.

I would like to report that the brunch place (Big Jones) was pretty awesome. Intelligentsia coffee, v. tasty food, great service, and they gave our table four slices of free cake.
FREE CAKE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
askye, so sorry for your loss.
I have such a huge range of clothes to choose from this morning! Laundry isn't all evil, I guess. And I even managed ironing and crude repairs.
I guess I'm a California style pizza fan. Take onions off a BBQ chicken pizza, and I'm a stone fan. I also *love* sundried tomatoes on top, and things like crab, etc. Not exactly together, but generally.

Our wings are not tired.
I love any well-made pizza, and those can come in any form be it thick or thin or deep pie. It's all about balance.
I've never gotten the "let's ridicule tourists" thing. Lots of economies exist due to people visiting. I am happy to have travelers coming to San Francisco. And sure, some places in the City are more geared to what people who come to San Fran think they *should* see (Pier 39 comes to mind), but they can still be cool. And I don't mean that in an ironic way.
Maybe it's because I do so much traveling, I dunno. But the "tourist" term and its implied condescension kinda bug me. I know you used the term here recently, Laga, but this little spiel isn't directed at you. I hear the condescension a lot, in many forums both online and off. And it bugs me, because traveling and seeing new places is a good thing. And people don't have any choice about where they're born, and sometimes have little choice in where they live. So biases based on those factors are dumb.
Ruh roh. I think the two days in airports has gotten to me (I board my last flight home in a few hours).

Because books.

Exactly. I always thought they were great fun to watch in New York. And they're generally happy and excited to be there, which is nice.
They always asked me for directions, too.

I agree in principle, but working near Grand Central I feel fully justified in snarling at tourists who block pedestrian traffic during rush hour. When I travel, I make it a point to recognize that while I may be on vacation, the locals all around me are not, and that people trying to get to work have right of way.
