It's really cold
Today was really cold but we made our stops.
Stop 11 - Primehouse:

Stop 12 - Wiener and Still Champion:
I was obligated to get the country fried bacon, which was a bad decision in hind-sight:
Day 5 Close
Last few days in photos, mostly:
Stop 5 - Rancho Alegre (Cuban food):
Our next place was supposed to be a BBQ place called Allen and Son’s, but they were closed (not sure why) so we ended up at…
Stop 6 - The Barbecue Joint:
This was the place that had the awesome chowder (smoked scallops + bacon):
Gas stop:
Tunnel!
When we arrived in Newark, we slept in the parking lot for a few hours (before taking a train to NYC):
Subway:
Stop 7 - Tung Yi Fung (dim sum):
When we walked in, we knew it was a good place because everyone there was Chinese. I mean everyone. Mark says a white guy walked in as we were leaving, but he was a serviceman. They spoke Cantonese everywhere, so I just pointed at all the dishes we wanted.
Mark approves.
They sat us at a table with two older Chinese women who attempted to talk to me, but I just smiled and shook my head at them saying “sorry, I don’t speak Chinese.” After that, they discussed amongst themselves about how I did/didn’t look Chinese and stared at me a few times. Dim sum meal costed us $25 total for all of us including tax and tip. It was awesome.
Stop 7.5 - Baked:
Stop 8: Maze:
We slept that night under Penn Station in New Jersey then headed to Cleveland…
Stop 9 - Trattoria on the Hill:
Mark had some wedding soup that was amazing:
We are now in Chicago (or rather a ‘burb of) at Mark’s sister’s place after…
Stop 10 - Lou Malnati’s:
After dinner, we had some frozen yogurt:
Oh yeah, and it’s going to be freakin’ cold tomorrow.
Yatta!
We just crossed into Ohio. Lunch in Cleveland, then it is dinner in Chicago. At 3am I washed my hair in a rest stop sink. It was awesome. Pics from the last few days coming tonight.
NYC or bust
Today we went from Florida to North Carolina for some BBQ. I also had some sweet chowder that had smoked scallops and BACON. I could not resist and now I am really stuffed. We’re in Virginia now and making a mad dash to New York City. Eight more hours to go. :) iPhone blogging out.
