I was pleasantly surprised to find so many restaurants in Manhattan that offer items on the menu for a mere dollar.
In the newsroom, we all joked ahead of time that I’d be sampling foods from who knows where that probably wouldn’t taste too good.
We were wrong. Everything I tried — from the pizza to the dumplings to the fried chicken — was fantastic. I probably would’ve paid more than a dollar. But here’s the catch: It was almost all fried.
The healthiest thing I ate Wednesday was probably the vegetables mixed in with potato in the fried Indian samosa. The grease soaked through the bag.
So, I didn’t have to sacrifice taste for a dollar, but I may have had to sacrifice a pant size!
