re: #164 eclectic infidel
I’ve never been to NYC, but my ex assures me that it used to be littered with Pizzerias with names like “O’Reilly’s Pizzeria” and “Hallinna’s Pizza and Subway Stop,” etc.
So yes, a Muslim run pizzeria is very much American. Sometimes when I’m in the Mission district in San Francisco, and I want a tasty, vegetarian dinner, I purposely seek out a halal restaurant. I like choices. Another culture adds more of that to the table. Pun intended. I’m hungry!
fyi, there are more Egyptian pizza joints than Greek dinners in NY…
