Vacation Tips Taking a vacation: Food, check please!


By Clint Parker Of all the aspects of taking a va-


cation I think I like food the most. Except when I overeat. On most vacations, we usually


rent a house that has a refrigera- tor and stove and go buy groceries. We usually eat our breakfast and lunch at the house, saving the last meal of the day to eat out. On this most recent vacation,


we stayed in hotel rooms, so every meal was purchased at a restau- rant. Here is a quick rundown of some


of our meals and costs (where ap- propriate, tips are included): Bojangles’ $17.50; Cheesecake


Factory $93; Silver Diner $60; IHOP $50; McDonald’s $18; Primeburger $62; Jim’s Steaks $32; and Carnegie Deli $24. Sometimes you have to wonder if


the food lives up to the hype. You often hear about different foods from different cities in America having such a unique flavor and being so great and wonder if it’s true. Te two that I tried on this


trip did live up to the hype. Tey were a Philadelphia cheesesteak and a New York cheesecake. Of course, you have to know


where to buy these things. Te best way to find them is ask a local. In Philadelphia, we were told to go to Jim’s Steaks just south of Constitu- tion Hall. Don’t expect to eat this inside


the establishment as the best they could do was bar stools and a board up against the wall. Oh yeah, don’t ask for fries; they don’t have any. But once you taste the steaks, you don’t need anything else. You’ve all heard about New York


cheesecake. Well, just don’t eat it anywhere. Go for what is recog- nized as the best cheesecake from


Carnegie Deli. Within shouting distance of Times Square, this is the place. I bought one slice of plain cheesecake and a slice of chocolate mousse pie or cake (on a request from my son) and a quart of milk to go along with five cups and five forks for a scant $24. With my booty in hand, the family and I headed down the street to Times Square to sit and eat. Tis was the best part of my


New York City experience, and those two slices satisfied a family of five. Next week, I’ll discuss sightsee-


ing and what to do. Editor’s note: Tis is the fifth


article in a seven part series.
