Don't Back Down

I should probably start by saying that I am not a fan of Indian food by any stretch of the imagination. It's not that I dislike it, it just doesn't seem to particularly agree with me, and I have never really developed any sort of affinity for it.

However, the group I was with decided to go there, and I wanted to participate with the group, so I went.

So on my first morning in the city, I walked a block or so down from the Affinia and into this deli on the next corner. They had a nice selection, unlike the smallish store right next to the hotel, so I ordered up a breakfast sandwich on - you guessed it - a bagel. An everything bagel, to be precise. And it was very tasty.
