Is it just me, or does the universe have a cheeky little sense of humor when it pairs a sky full of Taurus stubbornness with the price tag of a turkey sandwich that could probably fund a small vacation? I mean, Barney Greengrass, a New York legend that’s been serving up bialys and memories for over a century, clearly knows how to command top dollar—but honestly, when did a turkey sandwich get so fancy? It’s like walking into a Nora Ephron movie scene where everything sparkles just a bit more—and you’re that lucky extra in the background. Sure, my wallet’s flinching, and my Scorpio-influenced stinginess is kicking in, but maybe some indulgences are written in the stars. For now, I’m happy flirting with a black-and-white cookie or a toasted bialy; still, there’s something delightfully pricey about savoring a slice of history, isn’t there? After all, can you really put a price on nostalgia served between two slices of bread? LEARN MORE.
I personally don’t think any turkey sandwich should cost as much as this one, but maybe I’d change my tune for the actual best in the world. Barney Greengrass is a legendary New York institution that’s literally been around for over 100 years, so I guess they can afford to charge those prices. I have such fond memories of this place, and I love that I always feel like a character in a Nora Ephron movie whenever I walk inside. For now, I’ll probably just stick with an occasional bialy or black-and-white cookie, but, hey, some experiences in life are worth splurging on.
