It wasn’t until after I moved to Orlando that I realized just how good I had it when I was living in NYC. No one can beat our bagels and pizza! I only recently learned that the secret is in the water! Despite the cold, I’m looking forward to heading back up the NYC for the holidays so that I can see my family and friends, and so I can eat really good bagels and pizza again! I’m thankful that I get to go up north frequently to enjoy my favorite carb delights!

Well, it seems that I may have to really eat up on this next trip because Senior Mining Analyst Dusty Horwitt testified before the New York City Council Committee on Environmental Protection on proposed natural gas drilling in the New York City watershed. Mining companies want to use a process called hydraulic fracturing, which involves injecting water laced with toxic chemicals into the ground. The technique threatens environmental health and the safety of public drinking water and has aroused opposition from, among others, New York pizza and bagel makers who depend on the purity of the famed New York City water for their high-quality pies and bagels.
