New Yorkers tend to throw fits about <A href="http://www.palemale.com/" target="_blank">wildlife</A> showing up in odd parts of their city. So we're unsurprised to hear that a local man was flustered when a large hawk flew into the restaurant where he was eating last week and perched on his lunch.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.slashfood.com/2009/06/22/waiter-theres-a-large-bird-of-prey-in-my-soup/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.slashfood.com/img/4F4BA32C-3EC9-4AEF-A97B-D18C0773850E" alt="hawklunch" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.slashfood.com/2009/06/22/waiter-theres-a-large-bird-of-prey-in-my-soup/"><DIV>It'd be cruel to steal the <A href="http://www.andiamnotlying.com/2009/lunch-hawk/#more-843" target="_blank">story</A> away from its hilarious original teller, whose best line was "I turned around to see it standing on my two-piece-with-side-and-soda combo, just chilling and looking out the window wistfully, as though a Sarah McLachlan song were playing in its head." </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.slashfood.com/2009/06/22/waiter-theres-a-large-bird-of-prey-in-my-soup/"><DIV>A phone call to the restaurant confirmed the tale, including the tidbit that a cook, Manoli (in the style of a true superhero, no one at the eatery knew his last name), whom a waitress describes as "pretty fearless," caught the thing in his bare hands when it flew into the kitchen.
