i missed new york so much i ate a piece of it

this is called the queens. 

and it can be found at bagel buddies in fairfax, va.

they have bagel sandwiches with names of all five boroughs. 

i chose queens cos it used to be our home. 

we lived in a studio the size of a shoe box next to lirr rail tracks, with oversized furniture from ikea and air conditioning that didn't work properly. but we loved it. especially the taco shop on 63rd avenue owned by chinese american immigrants. oh and also lucky, toby and toby's sister {omg i can't remember her name!}. they were neighborhood cocker spaniel buddies of piri. every time we saw lucky, his mama would say  "look lucky, there's your brother!" {they really looked alike}

yangkyu and i talked about which borough {except manhattan, cos you know, everyone wants to live in manhattan} we would like to live in next if we ever had the chance to move back to new york.  

i said brooklyn.

he said new jersey.

well, let's just say our conversation on this topic didn't last too long.

but i'd go to jersey. after all, that's where i grew up!
