Ahead of the Curve
It figures. I do a post about delivery food in Manhattan a week ago, and today the entire New York Times Dining Section is about... well, I'll give you three guesses.
I wouldn't have thought that the Times dining desk reads Frost Street, but now I'm not so sure. Personally, I think the Times is not approaching the phenomenon of delivery from much of a critical distance. Half the restaurant meals in the New York area are made for takeout. Delivery boys are praying for rain to buoy their three-dollar-an-hour wages. Why am I the only one who has a problem with all this?

Ha! I think yer just smart. Most rags got a 2 week wait before it hits print.
And consider yourself flippin' lucky as all get out. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and all I can get is bad pizza and bad chinese food. And when I mean bad Chinese food, I'm talking about food poisoning. The kind where you're SICK, on the can. The kind of pizza where you just barely don't get sick. Sausage pellets and ... unmentionables.
We'd be lucky to suffer as you do.

While in London recently, I was told that there were only 2-3 restaurants in my friends' neighborhood that delivered. They explained that London is not much of a delivery city.

actually it depends on your neighbourhood - in west london there is a fabulous takeaway service called 'four corners' which deliver chinese, thai, indian and italian food.
the NYTimes seems to have a tremendous interest in bloggers. the editor in chief must have one, or something.
