The Little Black Book

I always had a distrust of food carts. Manhattanites in general tend to be germaphobic, but I inherited a compulsive tendency from my mother to sanitize, bleach, and purify anything that came within two feet of me. My best friend, Jess, on the other hand, did NOT receive this genetic resistance to grime, and was the kind of person who would drag you on her adventures Whether You Liked It Or Not, so there I was. You see, Jess was searching for The Best Gyro In The City, and was certain to have found it right outside our company’s Wall Street office.
