    I worked in a tattoo shop on South Beach (Miami Beach) for a few years. There was a bagel joint called Brooklyn Bagel on Washington Ave , that had their dough flown in from NY daily. So I didn't personally have anything flown in special but the bagels were outstanding if you like bagels. If I could get some Jersey tomatoes they would be well worth flying in.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    yeah, I do this semi-frequently

    The most common thing is Lobster, but I'm contemplating getting in some sushi grade fish. It's worth it to me, but I'm weird

    Next year when they are in season I can get you some two ways:
    I'll send some down with my daughter when she returns to school after spring break OR I can just box them up and ship you some. I know how to pick them so they will ripen on their way down. Just remind me by PM!

    As an avid gardener (about to move into a row house in Baltimore ) I'm curious about your Jersey tomato. Is it a particular strain or do you just like tomatoes from the Jersey dirt?

    I would love to order some sushi grade fish.. but just do not know if SWMBO would approve. I get urges for Chicago pizza or Italian beef but since it is only about 2 to 3 hours away I just do the drive. Getting decent sushi in my neck of the woods is extremely difficult though so that would be worth it to me.

    There is a reason New Jersey is called the Garden State.

    There is nothing like a true vine ripened tomato and
    they grow well on an apartment's patio.

    The other bit is how you care for them. Refrigeration
    is less than ideal...

    A friend of mine brings me a yearly shot of Beef Jerky, Kool-Aid and sometimes (if I'm a good boy) Root Beer.
