Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Chipotle Barbacoa burritos ftw or Blimpies subs ($5 footlongs too)

Blimpies uses higher quality meats so I stick with it.

El Pollo Loco has some good coupons too for cheap tastiness.

Seriously, how can a sandwich cost $5?

The world's gone mad.

You've got it all wrong.

Footlong wheat chicken breast with provolone, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, banana peppers, chipotle sauce, and oregano.

Why do you hate protein?

^^^ Wait, making fun of fat people is offensive but that isn't?

Oh, and veggie patty, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, banana peppers, cucumbers, and mustard for me.

I've never been to New Haven so I can't make any conclusions. I will do this for you botto.

Personally I like L&B squares the best but they are not so photogenic. Here is their spumoni, which is probably a better pick-me-up than Subway:

demarco's is indeed tasty.
