Downing (Today Is Monday in Texas, Today Is Monday in Louisiana) turns her attention to New York's eats. Highlighted foods include apples (state fruit), pastrami, Buffalo wings, and bagels and lox. Textured collages with oddly blank-faced people accompany the story. The refrain "All you lucky children, come and eat it up" is better as a song lyric than text (music is appended).
