I absolutely lost it when I read you got a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks.

You wanted to explore Manhattan and see different neighborhoods so you walked around the whole island. But then you stopped at a national chain for food?!

Please shop locally where you can! There was probably a deli or restaurant nearby that would have had bomb food.

I am sorry you “absolutely lost it” haha. We have been exploring manhattan non stop since moving here and have eaten locally when we can and when convenient. That being said i am not going to apologize for getting a delicious and quick sandwich on a go from a chain, which was one of the very few open places, straight on our path, with a bathroom and with amazing staff.

You don't need to apologize for anything. I enjoy a quarter pounder every once in a while and don't beat myself up over it.

I just think if I planned a big adventure like this to see a ton of neighborhoods around the island and wanted to share it on Reddit I likely would have also planned out local stops for food, sights, etc.

When I saw a food section I figured you were going to highlight local options along the way. But then after reading that it just seemed like unnecessary details for the purpose of this post.
