My name is Lena, I am an NYU student from southern California. I call the East Village/Union Square area my home (though I temporarily relocated to SoHo for the summer to switch things up a bit). Tuesday and Thursday afternoons this past spring were the days where I walk past Astor place on the way home from class, where I cannot help eyeing the Wafels & Dinges truck parked innocuously on Astor Place. When I practice self-restraint (infrequent), or when I am not carrying cash (frequent), I walk up to the truck, linger, breathe in happy waffle smells, and occasionally draw on the blackboard before I scuttle on my way again. But when I do decide to consume half a day's worth of calories in one go and then walk around in a sugar coma for an hour, I make sure to get ice cream with my wafel, because I don't know of any desserts/sweets that ice cream doesn't make better. Then I take the stairs in lieu of the elevator and convince myself I have just burned off the extra calories, and that everything will be okay. Random fact about me: I often eat dessert before (or in place of) regular meals. I occasionally supplement this diet with vegetables from the Whole Foods salad bar. I also like pandas.
Congratulations to Lena! I can't imagine what we'll do for number 10,000. Guess we'll just have to see. See you at the truck!
