    I realize this is an experiment, but I felt so bad. New York has a reputation for being abrasive. I’ve lived there, but I’m from Connecticut originally. You can’t save everyone, but if I have access to food and someone tells me they have $.73, I’m just going to give them something. It might not be a full culinary experience, but I’m going to give them something to eat. My conscience wouldn’t allow otherwise.

    Good luck!! Cause, new york is truly expensive. I notified a sign advertising a slice of pizza for .99
    I remember when a large slice of pizza 🍕 in new york was .25 a slice! Some places .15 a slice. Later, slices increased to .50! As a kid i thought paying. 50 was ridiculous! Lol
    No. I'm not 80 yrs old. But, i am in my early 60's. I've been dying to tell someone that I recall when a slice in new york was .25
    Was .25 to ride the bus, too.

    If you come to America and you're needing food go to the club stores Sam's club or Costco they have free samples plus if you do have some money you can buy a hot dog and a drink and use your drink all day long.
