> How about Thai? Japanese? Turkish? Colombian? Vegetarian? Cocktails? If you read the article I linked to, you would see that you could get bear and elephant meat in NY. Can I argue the same.. That since elephant meat is no longer on the menu, that 2016 has poor choice of food? Oh how we suffer. Of course you think that's silly.. because it is.. if elephant meat isn't available, you'll eat hamburger or whatever, and you'll be happy with it. And that's the same as it was in 1916. Fact is that there was plenty of variety of food available in NY in 1916. (Edit: and don't forget, in this story you're a billionaire.. so if you really want Thai.. you can spend a few million to send someone to Thailand and bring back a chef that can make it for you. $1M to someone worth $340B, is the same as $0.13 to someone worth $45,000 -- the median US net worth: http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/11/news/economy/middle-class-wealth/ http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/11/news/economy/middle-class-we... )
