If you're ever around NYU's campus (which you probably will be -- a lot) there are so many delicious things to eat.
Let's not think about Kimmel, our student life center where the heart of our dining facilities hide, and let's just basque in all that is Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park.
There's, of course, the Indian food man (found on Washington Square Park South) that Rachael Ray has unveiled to us in one of her episodes, and there's the famous Moshe's Falafel (on some back alley like MacDougal). Of course, on 8th Ave you have a block of food:
In any case, yes, there are lots of food options around here.
Lately I decided I wanted to be adventurous and I found a coupon in a college coupon clipper for the Peanut Butter & Co. I've always loved peanut butter, and since this place was devoted to peanut butter, I figured I would give it a try.
The coupon offered a free jar of peanut butter of any flavor with a purchase of any sandwich.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but I love, and I do mean love, Elvis's favorite sandwich: the peanut butter and banana sandwich. Ever since I learned about this sandwich by watching his documentary on the Travel Channel or something, I fell in love.
Of course, I never fried the sandwich like he did...
Upon looking at the menu, I was so happy to see that they had their own Elvis sandwich: bread, peanut butter, honey, and the option of bacon for an extra $1.50.
I ordered an Elvis sans bacon, creamy (as opposed to chunky), on wheat.
I was sadly disappointed to see that they had given me chunky peanut butter.
The sandwich was a sad version of what I could make myself. :(
On the brighter side, I got three carrots and a bag of potato chips. And, I got a jar of peanut butter: Cinnamon Raisin flavor. Yummmy!
I could barely chew the sandwich, for they were stingy with the bananas and only too generous with the peanut butter, so I bought their one size of milk -- it was actually like 3 pints of milk for $1.75. Whoa.
I couldn't finish my second half so I wrapped it up and gave it to a homeless man later that day after going to the library for two hours reading about censorship in American history.
...my final advice? Go ahead, go to Peanut Butter and Co, but please play it safe and get a good ol' PB&J -- I doubt you'll be disappointed.
