exposed: underground eaters

table for 2 on the 4 train to brooklyn? i'm sorry, this might be public transportation but it is NOT a public dining hall. confession: i have eaten on the subway before. it was a granola bar. an individually packaged, unscented, non-offensive quaker chewy granola bar. 

and i don't really think that falls into the same category as sharing a full-on asian stir fry feast. who wants to eat a hot lunch when you're surrounded by 30 plus germy strangers, in a confined space, while moving through an underground tunnel populated by new york city's finest rodents? seriously people, eating a meal on the subway is just unsanitary. 

for more not ok moments, check out this post from the gothamist featuring blogs subway douchery, the n train gossip and train pigs. makes me real glad i walk to work. (caution: these sites are extremely graphic in nature and i would not recommend looking at them before or immediately following lunch.)

the latest trend in guerilla marketing.

next time your grandma offers to knit you a scarf, instead opt for the full body neon camo suit like this guy did. it's warm, comfy and great for promoting local chinese restaurants. i mean seriously, nothing makes me crave kung pao chicken with fried rice more than this. proof that in this economy, you really do need to be creative. pass the soy sauce, please.
