Riddle Me This

By: Mr. Wilson on September 6, 2007
  1. I net myself the best women in the country to serve for me, but my wife Wendy doesn't badger me about it. Who am I?
  2. I'm hungry for a little New York-style comfort food and a conversation with a man with no footwear. Where should I go?
Sorry there are only two. Gotta get to work!

No, but I suspect your thought process is on the right track.

Is it hint time? I know you guys can get this one. The clue has two distinct parts. Try solving each part separately and see what you get.

I’ll break it down a bit:

1) Name a food associated with New York
...and…
2) Name a person famous for not wearing footwear

(Bonus hint: Why do I say “with no footwear” instead of using a better word or phrase?)

bagels and joe?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Too hard? Clue too weird? Or are you guys just getting rusty because I haven’t been coming up with enough riddles and games lately?

Oh snap! It’s Manhattan Deli, whatever, I still lost… 

The “2. Haymarket Park?

No, but I suspect your thought process is on the right track.” had me thinking something in the Haymarket.

Yeah, I was thinking Field of Dreams combined with hot dogs and pizza when I guessed Haymarket Park.
