day #9: viva mas

ok, i admit. this challenge is ridiculous. but i really did want to try the doritos locos taco from taco bell and i'm about to embark on a (fairly) healthy eating regime. so i knew it was now or never.

friday was spent tying up a lot of loose ends. returning cable boxes at time warner, picking up dry cleaning, paychecks, dragging my mattress out into the street (NY has weird rules about when you can place bulk items on the sidewalk - i get it, but it's maddening), etc. and when you're running around so much, often times 4p can creep up on you and you're like "oh, i haven't eaten lunch yet." so in the midst of running all around town, i passed the taco bell on 14th street and knew today was the day.

NY only has a handful of taco bells (thank god, really), so it's almost like you have to make a  destination of it. i walked up to the counter, weighing my options on the 'viva mas' menu, and i decided to only order the nacho cheese one 1. because listen, i needed to be at least a little kind to my body and 2. because i never really liked cool ranch doritos. i'm a bit of a purist, especially when it comes to my doritos. i also did not get it surpreme because i don't really like sour cream either...whatever. it's my challenge i'll do what i want!

i got it, unwrapped it, and took my first bite. was it everything i wanted it to be and more? i mean. it tasted like a regular taco bell taco. it was pretty delicious, but the shell being "doritos" pretty much meant it tasted like all the other shells. idk. i mean. i'm glad i ate one? but really, it's more to know i never have to eat one again.

later that night i spent my last night in new york with some good friends at decibel sake bar, which, if you haven't been is a really neat spot. later we grabbed sushi, i said my goodbyes, and headed home to await the 5am alarm signaling my departure to LA.

day 9 - complete!
