    $2.29 steak tacos at the crazy taqueria across the street. So, I walk out of the house hungry today. I want something tasty and quick, but haven’t noticed anything promising in the neighborhood yet. I tell myself to expand my horizons a little, and look a little closer. Damn if there isn’t a really sketchy taco place 50 yards away. The menu is a pastiche of 50-year-old plastic menuboard, and crayon on paper. The owners and staff are all Chinese. There’s not a real Mexican (or even a Texan) in sight. But the tacos are huge, come on these huge tasty crispy shells, (Yes, I know real tacos are soft. But did I mention the Chinese proprietors?) and the steak one is filled with about 6 oz. of tasty skirt-steak. For $2.29. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, New York can be big, noisy, impersonal, and ridiculously expensive. All true… but all totally compensated for (says the new guy) by the rest of it. So, this tumblr blog is my attempt to share all the felicity, the magic, and even the everyday stuff that everybody knows about but which you just can’t find anywhere else. Because for me, New York is… Felicity City.
