Isn’t it amazing how the world turns? Yes, I know that was a soap opera, but it fits!

The world works in mysterious ways. Tonight I was at Boba House, vegetarian restaurant in Greensboro, NC and let me just tell you, it was FABULOUS! I would eat there every day if I could! I had a sampling of lots of things including “chicken” drumsticks, “crab” blossom [like a crab ragoon], spring rolls and pho soup with “chicken”, let’s just say it was YUMMY! I hope one of the other veggie places I try in Ann Arbor is just as good!  http://bobahouse.com/

At the table across from me was a family, older parents, young son and when I say young, I mean, out of college. The father and I started talking and some good natured bantering over the menu and I heard, as he liked to call it, a northeastern accent. Clearly he had spent a great deal of time in New York,  I just knew and when we started comparing notes, we were spot on, both originally from Brooklyn, his wife from Manhattan and his son started off there but moved with his parents when we was five to North Carolina.

It was nice to talk to someone from NY, reminisce about places we knew and loved and what we missed about NY and what he didn’t and of course, being New Yorkers, we talked about the fact that you can’t get good bagels or pizza anywhere outside New York! And bialys,  forget about it!

It made the evening more enjoyable and it’s always nice to talk to fellow New Yorkers! Whoever said New Yorkers aren’t nice have no idea what they’re talking about!
