pizza to pizza

Yesterday some friends and I ate at the most famous pizza place in Manhattan. Then we ran to the most famous pizza place in Brooklyn, and we ate more pizza there. We're calling it Pizza to Pizza, and we hope you'll join us next time.

These days America needs hard facts, so take note:

1. Total running time: 17 minutes
2. Number of runners: four
3. Group consumption: one small pizza with anchovies, one large pizza with anchovies, one large calzone with mushrooms, six beers, one hot tea

America also needs hard questions, so:

• Is Pizza to Pizza the only run of world-historical importance which can actually cause you to gain weight?

Singles

I don't know if everyone is this way, but I always get a kick out of recognizing an an actor who has a real career now playing a bit part in an older movie. I watched a few minutes of Singles (1992) this morning and the guy who plays Mr. Pryzbylewski in The Wire (Jim True-Frost) has a forgettable but not tiny role, and Victor Garber, who was the Titanic's architect who went down with the ship in Titanic and was Jennifer Garner's father in Alias (why do I know that?), had a non speaking momentary role - with a mustache.
