Hoboken is the only place in Hudson County that never ceases to surprise me (read food surprises, haha). Also it is the home to this guy 'Buddy' (whatever!) who bakes cakes and was supposedly on some reality show called Cake Boss. Every Saturday I see people standing in this long line outside his shop for cake consultation (ya, you heard it right, I ain't crazy, he is consulted for wedding cakes I believe). And people wait an hour long to buy pastries and cakes. Now, I am not a fan of standing in lines, sorry. A cake is a cake and does not warrant a long line like that...
Ok, that was enough promotion for nothing. But I bumped into this brand new truck called 'Two pitas in a pod' - was pretty good but thought it was a bit pricy for truck food :D Now I will tell you since last week I have been dreaming about Middle Eastern food. I am not sure why. Falafel, shawarma, tabouleh....you name it! So I am intentionally exploring the food truck scene in nearby areas and in and around downtown Manhattan. Think am ready to make a shawarma imposter at home. I don't think it takes a lot to put that thing together. Just need a pita, some homemade tahini and fresh cuts of lamb. Yeah, thats about it. Now if I may stop the food talk creeping into my blog. LOL.
Even the folks here are crazy. I remember the day I saw some teenage kids getting into the PATH to hoboken. You know the hoodie-jeans-spiked hair-bright nail paint sorta kids...Anyway this guy with his girlfriend and a circle of friends make some noise. No one pays heed. (Thats how insensitive people are in NY/NJ. Nothing bothers them. LOL) But our guy here was craving for attention. So he starts sort of tap dancing. Yawn. Doesn't work out. Then tries to crack a joke. Naah...Then the white kid does something totally dramatic. No no, he did not flash us or something (if thats what you are thinking;)). He pulls his hood to his head and pulls the strings of the hood to encase his face until his face goes totally inside the hood and there is a tiny hole. And then he shrieks...."Look ma, I am coming out of your womb". And he comes tearing it open. ROFL. That was his genius moment, he caught our attention. Look how much it takes to get attention from the subway crowd?
