Day 2: Literally the Second best Use For The Intrernet.

Ahh Wednesdays. Wednesdays are a special treat in the middle of the week for me and my coworkers. On Wednesdays our company treats us all to lunch. We are allowed to order from seamlessweb.com. This is an amazing company that has made my life so much better. SeamlessWeb allows you to order from dozens and dozens of restaurants online and pay with a credit card, in fact the only human interaction you have to have is when the surly delivery guy shows up at your home or office demanding you sign the receipt.

I love these guys, the full menus are posted online, and within a few clicks you are all set for a hassle free lunch or dinner. Now one of the wonderful things about New York is our rich culinary variety, and every place delivers. One of the drawbacks is that almost nobody working in the restaurants speaks English well enough to understand you on the phone. so SeamlessWeb is perfect.

I was paralyzed with choice when confronted with the large number of eateries available to me today, but after about a half hour of hemming and hawing I made my choice. Today's special is Shwarma from Olympic Pita.

Olympic Pita is one of those typical New York Kosher restaurants, meaning no matter what the cuisine of the house is, they also offer sushi of dubious quality. Today I steered clear of the sushi and ordered one of my favorite Israeli specialties, Shwarma in Lafah.

The food was pretty good, but there was one complaint, the distribution of toppings in the Lafah was all skewed. For all you heathens who have no idea what a Shwarma Lafah is, it is basically like a burrito, but instead of a tortilla, they use a gigantic round soft piece of bread (like a cross between Pita and Indian Roti) . Ideally you would like all the fillings lined up evenly all along the length of the burrito, but today's example had all the meat on the top, and all the toppings on the bottom, making for an uneven tasting shwarma experience. Other than that it was a perfectly competent Shwarma.
