We had wanted to eat in a small Italian cafe such as where Mafiosos might hang out, but we could find no such place. Little Italy looked like the rest of Manhattan, except that the shopowners were slightly more Italian than in the rest of the city. And that was the trip. It really is the way it's portrayed on TV and in the movies. I think people are proud to be from New York.
People love New York.
Heck, I love New York, and I've only just met the place. I'm going back sometime, as soon as I can convince The Daily Herald to send me there on assignment, since I'm sure MasterCard will be of no further help. Daily Herald photo wiz Robert Johnson created some very cool pictures to run with it, too, which you've seen decorating this page. The day the article ran, I received a phone call from a Provo resident who was a New York native who took great offensive at the article. He asked how I would like it if he made fun of Utah, and I said I would have no problem with that, and that I do it all the time myself.
