Stay Where You Are

I bought a snack from one of the street vendors this evening--a fish cake on a skewer. It was sort of grey and chewey, but you dip it in a broth and it's very tasty. I had planned to eat it while walking over to the subway, but I learned that it's considered very rude to eat while you walk. When people get street food here, either they bring it someplace and sit and eat it, or they stand right by the cart and eat it. So at night, you'll see carts with six or seven people huddled around, eating. Very different from the pretzels in midtown.
