I haven't been to Hop Won for more than a month. I miss the food even though some people think Chinese food can kill you.
The food stays the same, the cashiers stay the same. Except they put up a new signboard with new prices. Now for a cook to order of say Beef with Bitter Melon is $5 plus tax. What used to be $5 was just $5, now it's more like $5.43. It's still cheaper than a lot of other places. Midtown is getting more expensive even for my lowly Hop Won.

Come on, Prof. Black, you are living and working in the heart of the world, the only super power on earth, like in a 5-star hotel, you should pay more. Why don't you go to your nearby USD1 shop to buy USD1 bread with USD1 1.25L Coke ?
ReplyDeleteNYC is expensive. If you have a degree and you get in the right industry like finance you are fine.
ReplyDeleteI do shop at those 99 cents store. And I have cheap lunch all the time.
