This is the reputed Chicken & Rice from the stand on 53rd and 6th Ave. There are actually 3 stands within a block of each other all owned by the same guy. True Chicken & Rice diehards say that one of them in particular supersedes the others. I say, go to the the one with the shortest line. Just look for the stands with the yellow umbrellas and bags and you’ll get the same thing. The meat itself isn’t very interesting. I’d say about 80% of the flavor comes from the sauces. There’s one white sauce (just pour it all on) and one red sauce (the method I use for dispersing this sauce: I dip the tip of my fork into the sauce and speckle it on top of the white sauce. Why? It’s super spicy, even for those accustomed to spicy foods). Choices of meat include: Chicken, Lamb or Chicken & Lamb.

Foods to try in New York City: Katz’s Deli
Recommended by my cousin, Katz’s Deli, located in the Lower East Side, is best known for its stacked pastrami sandwiches and for hosting the scene in “When Harry Met Sally” where Sally fakes an…well, you know.
In any case, the inside of the restaurant supports a unique setup. On the right is a counter where a row of workers will take your order and simultaneously cut up your choice of pastrami, corned beef, etc. You can also sample the meat (mine was still warm when it was sliced and given to me). You’ll then be given a tab with your order and the price written on it. There’s a man at the register near the exit who will take the tab and ring the order up on your way out.
I had a pastrami sandwich. The meat was extremely tender. Though I’m a fan of dishes with more complex flavors, the simple pastrami sandwich at Katz’s wasn’t entirely unsatisfactory. If you’re craving something meaty, it’ll hit the spot. I’ve also heard good things about the hot dogs.
Foods to try in New York City: Lombardi’s Pizza
The pizza here tastes as good as it looks. If you want to skip the wait (the place is usually overcrowded with people waiting for a table), I’d say order the pizza to-go and eat at a nearby park (there’s one half a block away on the same street). The ingredients shown above are pepperoni, garlic spinach and ricotta cheese. Lombardi’s is reputedly the oldest pizzeria in New York City (http://www.firstpizza.com/). I would say the taste is similar to that of Grimaldi’s (another famous pizzeria) across the bridge in Brooklyn.

Implosion : una poema por Sylvia
un descanso del trabajo me estresa
Este implosion en mi mente
es demasiado
es demasiado
Si viera el final de la carrera pero no podría terminarlo
es impotente
es impotente
Deseo que una cosa aparezca en mi vida-
exito en todo aspecto
El pesar sobre mi pasado
Me persegue al fin del mundo
Cada día era una tormenta
Rayo, la luz sola yo veo
El cielo inundado con las lágrimas de mi angustia
Pero en todas fases te veo
te veo
y me ayudas sobrevivir

Si pudiera pasar un día con un famoso...Tokio Hotel
Él tiene un sentido de moda. Su estilo personal es de elementos de rock y punk. Su maquillaje (alrededor de sus ojos) es
También, hay muchos los restaurantes japonés en el área donde podríamos comer (el nombre del grupo, Tokio Hotel, derivó del amor del grupo para ciudades (el grupo había oído muchas cosas sobre esa ciudad; “Tokio” es la ortografía de “Tokyo” en alemán) y los hospedares del grupo en hoteles). Tomaríamos el metro a Dylan’s
¡Ay! Desgraciadamente, el sueño
