One of the biggest things I've looked forward to in NYC is the restaurant scene. Every part of it -- "the world is your oyster" options, places staying open until midnight and deliveries any time of day or night. Back in the UrbanFetch era (circa 1999), I was known to order a DVD (or was it still VHS back then?), slice of pizza, drinks and Tylenol from one place and it would all be delivered within an hour!
Yesterday I saw a Pinkberry delivery guy in our elevator. If you're not familiar, Pinkberry is a frozen yogurt chain. (HK folks, it's the same as Yo MaMa.) The kind of place you see when you're walking on a Sunday afternoon and feel like indulging your sweet tooth. You go in, order a cup and then peruse the vast display of toppings (Capn Crunch, blueberries, coconut, you name it). You leave, yogurt in hand, and proceed to eat it spoonful by spoonful as you walk down a sunny NYC street. It's more event, than food.
You do not call Pinkberry and ask them to deliver a cup of yogurt to your door. Which the deliveryman confirmed when I asked him who would order yogurt for delivery and he replied - "some lazy ass people". I think he wanted to say "some lazy ass white people," but refrained.
