If I may make a suggestion...

Living downtown affords so many luxuries. For example, a legless man sits under a plastic tarp all night and day in the back alley. But even better, my darlings, are the effing sandwiches. Next time you are just every so slightly soaked with mountain dew please go to Nick's International produce (located at Broad and Madison) and eat a salami and pepperoni 6 in sub toasted all the way. 'Tis ruler. I think they make their own mayonnaise.
