5 picks for a tired day in New York
Why New York is good for tired food
Tiredness usually means low blood sugar plus dehydration, not actually a missing nutrient. So the rules are simple: warm liquid, a little protein, some easy carbs. Pho, an egg sandwich, or a small bowl of ramen all hit those three. Avoid anything that requires assembly or a 45-minute wait by the time it arrives you'll be asleep. If you can eat it standing up in the kitchen, it's a tired-day meal.
