best and worst deals in the vicinity of W 51st St.

December 23, 2004

The vendors around W 51st street are selling shish kabobs for four dollars. This is a travesty that can only be pulled over on the tourists. I am a great connoisseur of meat on sticks, and four dollars is not the normal price for a shish kabob.

Furthermore, the particular shish kabob which ended up in my possession contained sizable chunks of perilously undercooked chicken.

On a brighter note, the Godiva store’s $2.75 dark chocolate with raspberry bar was extremely worthwhile.

Incidentally, the shish kabob carts are now selling “Times Square chestnuts.” I didn’t see anyone actually buy any.

If I die of salmonella, blame the guys at 51st and 5th.
