Olive Garden at Times Square

My ex girlfriend and I were super stoned one day and passed Olive Garden in NYC. We both wanted some pasta, so went in and ate and I posted it on FB that we went there and people went CRAAAZYYYY. It was pretty decent 6.5/10. But, because we were so stoned maybe it seemed like a 7.5/10. Breadsticks were amazing.

Applebee's Time Square

Tier 1: the grill

tier 2: power lunch at all the random steakhouses (quality meats, cap grill, del friscos etc)  (bonus points if paid for by a hot VDR sales rep)

tier 3: grabbing sweetgreen/just salad/dos toros with all the other finance drones in vests, ugly sneakers that have replaced dress shoes, and girls from the office with vocal fry to then eat it later at your desk

tier 4: halal guys food trucks, random delis (for what its worth, I love grabbing lunch this way)

An entire buffalo chicken pie from ray's pizza. Every day at 1 like clockwork

Ray's buffalo chicken pizza is underrated.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Sapiente alias laborum nihil blanditiis sint perferendis voluptate. Et earum et rerum quibusdam corporis voluptas. Dolores et itaque eaque soluta.

Sit aliquid ducimus inventore et voluptatum quod provident expedita. Iusto doloremque provident voluptatem sunt repellat. Repellat nemo facilis voluptatem veniam illum rerum.
