37th Ave. Bicycle chained to nearly overturned newspaper dispenser (1260). KLD (18:21). Cashier أحمد (apparently the same slender worker from last month) told me there was no more pepper turkey but a glance in the display case showed there was actually plenty. I like their food and their workers are handsome, but their sandwiches quickly get very pricy because they charge for every item ($1.75 for avocado, 70¢ for cheese, 40¢ for lettuce, 40¢ for tomato). After additionally buying two specialty slices at 2F, I ran into George L. and briefly chatted with him. Then I was elated to see Artie from NYBD and sat and chatted with him for a bit while holding my pizza in my hands and my sandwiches hung in my cloth shopping bag from my shoulder, inviting him to the upcoming ice‐cream social, and then walked with him a bit to our point of departure.
