    I'm half Sicilian, but I must honestly admit that Greek extra virgin olive oil is the best in the entire world. Super smooth and creamy with not a trace of bitterness and no nasty aftertaste which unfortunately shows up all too often in the oils of my homeland & Messina. Personally, I love EVOO made from freshly pressed kalamata olives. SUPER YUM YUM!!

    When traveling, including vacations, I loved to wander around a bit, and find a diner near my hotel, get MUCH better food for a SMALL fraction of the price. Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Then for dinner you could eat healthier, but at least only shell out much money once a day.
    Obviously, in my 60's, I have to be MUCH more careful re my diet than I was in my 20's and 30's. So, sigh, diner food is a thing of the past.

    When traveling in the northeast (big cities) on business in the 80's, I quickly realized you could easily get a satisfying diner breakfast for like two bucks. Having a similar amount of food for dinner at a typical restaurant for dinner would cost 5 to 10 times as much. Much more at a fancy place.
    Being a frugal person, I wondered how restaurants didn't just PRINT money at dinner.

    I was really surprised about the prices food prices in Brookfield place. 10-15 dollars for a meal is way lower from what I expected. In my small forgotten European country, you can`t get a lot cheaper than this. 33 cm pizzas cost about 12 €. Not to mention in a fancy restaurant prices can skyrocket to 50 € per lunch. Salaries are a lot lower tho (average is 1300 € per month) so to put that into context, food in NYC isn`t that big of a deal.
