Bachelors Guide to Dining New York

Gray’s Papaya (72nd and Broadway. Two hotdogs and fruit drink for a $2.50)
Gray’s Papaya was often talked about in the movie “Fools Rush In.” “Fools Rush In” is a movie about the slippery slope that little things, such as letting a girl cut in the line for the restroom, can be for a bachelor. Profound moral lesson.

Which brings us back to Gray’s Papaya. Blogger does not eat hot dogs. However, if he did, he would think that $2.50 for two hotdogs and a fruit drink would be just about the amount he would pay.

Veselka 144 Second Avenue at 9th St. Open 24 Hours. French Toast, OJ and Coffee for $4.25 Julianne Moore and her husband were spotted there on a recent visit by Blogger’s siblings. Julianne Moore is an actress. An actress is someone who pretends to be someone that they are not. Along with this comes the practice of pretending to do things that they are not. Julianne Moore is pencil thin. It is safe to assume that she was only pretending to eat at Veselka.

Bachelors can eat in truth, untroubled by conscience or fear of a paparazzi getting a shot of you with your mouth open.

Cucina di Pesci (Italian) Go between 4 and 6 with full entrees, bread, soup, and wine for $10. 87 E Fourth Street (between Second and Third Avenue) in the East Village.

What can I say? Full meal deal. No actress sightings. No famous movie scenes filmed here. Happy bachelor paradise.

Ray’s Pizza. Every other block. More oil on this pizza than any other kind. if you want to hang out with regular New Yorkers, the swearing, sort of smelly, blue collar variety, Ray's is the place for you. I loved it.

In fact, if the good die young then the good ate at Ray’s and died of clogged arteries.

Soon Blogger will explore entertaining ways to work off those New York meals.
