chicago '08

amazingly, I don't think I have yet posted about the carts. what an oversight! my office is next to the yale-new haven hospital. in between the child study center and the hospital is a concrete courtyard, and each day at lunchtime the courtyard is filled with food carts. not nasty carts you'd be afraid to eat at. awesome, interesting carts. on any given day, I can find vietnamese, thai, indian, mexican, chinese ("healthy way, not greasy, not oily" reads their sign), japanese, middle eastern, eritrean, italian, etc. I can find bubble tea, a lovely salad with strawberries and feta, and yummy burritos every day of the week. I haven't seen anything priced over $6, and most veggie selections cost $4. the carts are busy with patients, social workers, psychologists, and people in scrubs with stethoscopes around their necks.

it's one of the best things about my new job.
