• PIOS bagel #3 and unexpected juice

    15. heinäkuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

    I decided to look up "to rated gluten free bagels NYC" and whatever article came up first, I would go to that location.
    Pio's it is.
    And it was only 450 feet from my hotel!
    I preordered my now famous olive cream cheese on everything bagel. But they didn't have any coffee that looked good (I just can't do the black coffee thing right now) so I didn't pre-order one thinking I would stop at a coffee place.
    However, once I got to Pio's, I was delighted to see they had a full coffee bar menu so I ordered my favorite iced mocha.
    Then I saw they had gluten free black and white cookies. How new York! I had to get one.
    But then I felt judged by the cashier for getting such a sugar drenched carbloaded start to my day so I decided to tack on their "Healthy Start" juice special.
    The cashier glared at me even more now and set about making my drinks. The mocha was easy enough. I figured all she had to do was open the refrigerator and pour out my juice and she could be rid of me.
    But then I realized why she looked pissed. She went to the big refrigerator and took out whole beets, carrots, and a handful of spinach. She then put them though a juicer until I had a full glass of bright magenta goodness.
    Ohhhh... It was absolutely delicious and I'm so glad I got it and I sucked it right on down (mostly because I was afraid I would dribble it all over my clothes) . Refreshing. And healthy!
    I decided to tuck my bagel and cookie into my backpack to enjoy once I got to the next stop, and sipped my mocha happily on my way to the subway.
    You'll have to wait for my next story to hear my bagel rating.
    Sorry not sorry.
