Alright get mad at me, everybody knows that NYC is a corrupt democrat cesspool, but the basic foods, like bagels and pizza are some of the best.

Seeing that picture of a bagel and lox(salmon), I'm like Homer Simpson, saying mmm, bagels and lox.

We have refined taste in pizza and bagelry.

Neither is this up for debate.

Rather, the world should simply place child-like trust in us.

We were just talking about this in the Texas recruits NYPD thread

It’s the water, the atmosphere and the flour per many restaurant owners in Texas and Arizona

Bagels and pizza are great so New Yorkers think it is better

But you can’t get a good tortilla in New York.

New Yorkers do have a better appreciation for good food so there’s that.

There’s a pizza place in Tampa that brings NYC water to make the best pizza in Tampa, according to the local scandal sheet (aka Creative Loafing).

Therecare two places here in San Antonio that claim to either duplicate the chemical composition of the water or actually import it from the city. Both have very loyal followers.

I’ve always heard that New York’s water source is superior to most municipalities, coming from the Adirondack snow melt. It seems counterintuitive to everything I’ve thought about NYC.

When I was a kid raising guppies, the understood gold standard for fish tank water was from upstate New York.

It’s the PCB’s in Hudson River water gifted by GE all those years ago. Adds flavor.

After working in Midtwon for 11yrs, back in the 70s/80s, I can attest that the food is some of the best in the world. And the water won several taste tests/ cleanliness lab tests in tech nical mags/ NY Slimes.

“I’ve always heard that New York’s water source is superior to most municipalities, coming from the Adirondack snow melt.”

NYC water comes mostly (90%) from the Catskill Mountains snow melt and rain. The remainder comes from the first three counties north of NYC on the east side of the Hudson River. No water comes from the Adirondack region.

Here’s a map of the system: https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dep/downloads/pdf/water/drinking-water/water-supply/nyc-water-supply-system.pdf

You will never convince the people who believe this about New York water otherwise.

However it’s definitely true that pizzerias run originally by Italians from Southern Italy and Sicily have always produced incredible pizzas.

It’s absolutely true that New Jersey and Connecticut also have fantastic pizzerias.

It’s also true that some sections of the country can’t make a good pizza to save their lives.

I’m thinking New York has the best pizza and bagels because New York city had the first Italian pizzerias and had a huge jewish population.

Regardless, historically the water is described as very pure and of the perfect mineral content.

Then there’s the pizza-related film featuring the young and lovely Julia Roberts, spotlighting yet another Connecticut harborside locale.

Oh how This Guy loves his pizza.
