I don't live in WaWa territory anymore. Even so, there's not touchscreen for the coffee. It's self-service. You order your hoagie on the touchscreen, and while it's being made you pour yourself some coffee.
So let me get this straight. I'm in Pennsylvania, it's 2am, and I just got finished with my Halloween in da Hood party. The tanks runnin' low, and I need fill the 'ol Prius up. While I'm at it, I decide I might be a little hungry, and a 2-foot "hoagie" might hit the spot. So I pull up to WaWa to kill two birds with one stone. I order one on the touch screen. And the GAS ATTENDANT is the one that makes my hoagie???
I guess that's ok. At least I know she won't eat it because chances are she's missing her teeth...
You Easterners make me sick. I also need to get over this WaWa thing...
. . . And the GAS ATTENDANT is the one that makes my hoagie???
Full service deli, bitch. There's a dedicated employee. And for the record, don't knock "hoagie," the chosen term of the PA/NJ/NY tri-state area, which you may as well refer to as "sandwich dreamland." I've been all across this country, and no one else gets it. I think it has something to do with the short shelf-life of the Italian roll indigenous to this region.
Anyway, getting back to coffee, is anyone into flavored coffee? I was made some vanilla junk the other day, and while it smelled quite a lot like vanilla, it didn't taste much like vanilla. Then the vanilla smell got into my system somehow, and I think I smelled like vanilla for the next 18 hours.

That's my last foray into flavored coffee.
Do not include NY in your hoagie talk. We call em heros. One of the things I've really missed since moving out of the city is the fifty cent cup of deli coffee. I can't bring myself to pay 1.29 for the same coffee at 7/11 and Farid was the coolest deli guy....otherwise the suburbs aint so bad.
trick, where you at these days? I just moved up river a bit on the Hudson, looking for good info in the area.
Oh, and the only term I've seen up here is 'wedge' for what I normally would call a sub. Which is a hero, a hoagie, a po'boy, whatevva. First time I've run into *that* term.
But back to coffee... flavored coffee is of the devil. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Flavored coffee is indeed the devil. I'm out on the Island, which for those not familiar is Long Island. Back from where I started after twelve years in the city. Ossining is beautiful country. I have a summer house up another 90 miles from there.
What kind of machine is that, Cake? My Dad inherited a big, red, Italian espresso machine a few years ago. It has a ridiculously large pump which allows you to pack in the grinds until they are as dense as lead. Makes four cups at a time.
I am looking forward to going back for Thanksgiving!
Looks like an Irish Carbomb! (Just need some Guinness)
Yum.
Man, you really can't beat a carbomb, can you? Too bad they ruin your night the next morning. And it's not because of the alcohol, it's the fact they're so damn fun you end up buying multiple rounds for all those near the bar. 35 car bombs add up after awhile...
Yeah, $6-8 is normally what I see them for, up north of NYC.
My problem with them is that they go down *SO* smoothly, that it takes 4 or 6 of them in under an hour before I stop and go "Hmmm, maybe I should slow down."
I only ever bought the Guinness on draft. What do cases run for?
Similar to other premium beers, which is to say between $1 and $1.50 per bottle/can in a six pack. It has the widget in it, which actually does a decent job of keeping it foamy like the draft version. The Irish cream usually works out to around $1 per shot. A pint can of Guinness can produce two car bombs, so you're looking at no more than $2 per bomb. Plus, you get to tip yourself.

They're at least $5 in Scranton...
Yikes.

They're more than that here, and I don't exactly live in a hopping metropolis.

(and kinda broke)
But they go down so smoothly.

Besides - you get *two* carbombs from a pint? Meh - I prefer a shot of Bailey's, a shot of Jameson, and a full pint. Drop, chug, done.
