Special Order
Dear Diary:
I was on a business trip to Manhattan some years ago that brought me to the Manhattan neighborhood near the Fashion Institute of Technology.
A little hungry, I saw a coffee cart and got in line. Ahead of me were three young women who appeared to be students at the school.
I could hear them as they ordered. I don’t remember what the first one asked for, but I’ll never forget the second one’s order.
“A plain toasted bagel, con schmear, please,” she said.
