Our story begins deep in the East Village, on a rainy, humid, day in New YorkCity.
The big news is that there wasn't a terrorist attack, but there was a large explosion in East Midtown.
Other than that, very little happened. I discovered an Israeli Grocery Store: "The Holy Land Market."

Good fluffy pita.
A bag of pita + large hummus + honey cake + Israeli chocolate candy + 1/2lb of mushroom and cheese bourekas = $12.83
It would have cost half as much in Netanya. When I noted this to the shopkeeper, he pointed out that we weren't in Netanya.
Good Point.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.

I work right on the border of the "frozen zone." They still made me come to work, annoyingly.
