New York Food Group #1: Pork

I just got back from 5 awesome days in New York and in typical Courtney fashion, a good portion....no...lets be honest..the majority of my trip was focused around the phrase, "what am I going to eat next?" There is so much yummy food everywhere you go--it can be really overwhelming and not to mention expensive. But I think I did pretty well. There really is nothing that I didn't get to eat (besides "street meat" from a Halal truck) that I am bummed about missing. So I think I did pretty good for just bein in the city for 5 days. So now- after looking back at the pics from my trip, after all the yummy meals I had, I realized that the most of the cuisine I ate fall into four major food groups (well..."5" that we will use for all the other things that don't fit any where else). My New York food groups are as follows:

1. Pork/Sausage/Hot Dog

2. Pizza

3. Cupcakes

4. Kahlua

5. other

Food Group #1: Pork/ Sausage/ Hot Dog:

BACON WARNING: I started almost everyday out with a bacon, egg and cheese bagel (often dippin it hot wing sauce which later busted open in my purse--yes, i carried the container of hot sauce in my purse all day...and so I then stank of wings all day! I wasnt complaining although I dont think the people on the subway very much enjoyed the smell of hot sauce on the crowded trains but whatever.) I even ordered bacon/ cheddar cream cheese to add to one of these bagels but the "bacon" was actually more like bacon bits which was a little disappointing but still good nonetheless...I also had breakfast at a place called EGG in Williamsburg and had candied bacon. I had never tried this before but once my plate arrived I realized that it was essentially bacon that is cooked with maple syrup on it and I like to drown my bacon in syrup sometimes anyhoo so I wasnt that floored by it...still flippin good though. Bacon is always good. (no pic...too freakin cold that day to even think about busting out the camera) I also had some awesome bacon on one of the best burgers ever at Bar89 but once again...no pic... Here are the pork pics I do have:

Gray's Papaya Hot Dog.... wasn't too big of a fan...they were alright...Ian ended up eating the second half mine. I think we deteremined it was the sauerkraut that tasted funky.

Stella's Italian sausage. I asked for nachos cheese on mine.

It was pretty damn good and then a pigeon literally landed on my sausage so I had to toss it.

We had a dinner party at their apartment and Ian made pulled pork sandos.....
