Stream of Consciousness Sundays: Dollar Slice Pizza With Strangers

I popped my dollar slice of pizza cherry yesterday. I was coming from class and I needed some nourishment before going to the MoMA so I stopped for a slice. Nothing on 6^th ave was interesting and since it was probably the 5^th slice place I saw, the offer was too good to pass up.

The place had three tables nd all were taken, but they were all dinign alone. In true NY Fashion I asked to share the table, the young guy on his lunch break did.

As I sat down, I asked him how the slice was. He said it was the best dollar slice he has ever eaten. I was impressed and we went on talking about food. He asked me what I did and I said I am a photographer with a day job and I told him I take a lot of food photos. He asked me what the weirdest thing I have eaten was and I said “I don’t know, weird to you might be good to me.”

 Then I said I love liver.

He gave me an eew face.

Turns out this guy rolls with celebrities! Well, he drives a luxury bus for hire (kinda like a celebrity trailer, but you know, in bus form) and he’s met tons of them. Beyonce, snoop dogg, nick cannon – he showed me his phone photos and well, it really is one of those New York stories from strangers. 

We exchanged cards, walk a couple of blocks uptown and separated somewhere by Bryant park. He showed me his bus and we parted ways.

Thank you for sharing your table with me, Juan.
