So today was Apple Day on the lower east side, Orchard Street to be exact. Fitting, right? And this Apple Day had nothing at all to do with iPads or Pods or Jobs. It was all about the fruit and the pie, apple pie.
Seems apples are TOO healthy for the organizers of today’s event who decided to gross everyone out by sponsoring one of those competitive eating contests with apple pie as the center of attention. After watching these guys and one gal smash the pies into their faces — it gave new meaning to the phrase ‘pie hole’ — I decided to eat exactly nothing. Hmmm, new dieting technique? Anyway, it was a gorgeous day and here are some photos. Enjoy:\
