Yesterday seemed like a good park day so I packed a blanket and headed to Central Park. No. 7 Subs is not on the way, but it's good enough that I don't mind taking the subway a few stops in the opposite direction. I couldn't decide which sandwich to get so I gave the cashier my top three options and he told me to go with the asparagus. Of the three, this seemed like it was the least exciting/funky sandwich but I was anxious to get to the park so I went with the recommendation without giving it a second thought.
When I got to the park, I realized I needed some extra reading material so I stopped by The Strand to pick up some books. Though I do love the actual storefront and all 18 miles of books that can be found there, the tables they set up at the bottom of the park were much more convenient. I picked up four books at 1/2 price (which made me feel better about not going to Barnes & Noble, where I am a member) and a tote. I have seen people walking around with these totes that sport their iconic logo for four years, so now I feel like a true New Yorker.
I found a great spot in the park that was only mildly tainted by the trashy parents lounging next to me who kept yelling at their kids. Once settled, I opened up my sandwich and hunkered down. Inside the crispy french bread was asparagus, granny smith apple, cashews, cilantro, and mayo. If all meat-free food tasted this good, I would become a vegetarian. The roasted asparagus was sturdy enough to take the place of the meat and the tart apples brought the sandwich into funville. Amazing.
A fantastic sandwich, a stack of books, perfect weather, and the beauty of Central Park - THK's perfect Saturday.
