Actually, the Pequod is the ship from Moby Dick. The Essex was a famous real-world whaling ship that was sunk by a whale, and inspired Melville to write Moby Dick. Not terribly auspicious . . .

Not to split hairs, but the ship in Moby Dick was the Pequod. The Essex was the real-life ship, sailing from Nantucket that met its fateful end in the duldrums of the Pacific and whose story inspired Melville to write Moby Dick.

oh please. delancey, essex, a subway, a hallway, sperm whales, see that connects to prawns.

just review the damn food without dropping the word salad of literary and transit associations. I assure you the subway has naught to to with moby dick, and nobody in new york thinking of pizza thinks of moby dick, or sperm whales. it's a fucking pizza.

Whaling, how retro and ironic! It all sounds so Williamsburg, like being in a bourough of NYC about 5 years ago!
