I must be missing something. $5 for a 4oz  burger that was not in the least memorable. If I want a decent burger Shake Shack is 75 yards east of this place. The place is huge with some of the lighting fixtures way too low. Salt and Pepper are
by the Soda Fountain  Dispenser. Aww hell just go to freakin McDonalds this place
is not worth the effort. They should cut the Onion Rings thinner I took one bite and the whole raw onion popped out of the heavy batter. I could not taste the pickle on the burger. To end this review the Schnipper Sauce tasted like what I would imagine
Cat vomit tastes like!!!!!

Update - 11/30/2011
Flurt is now defunct it has been taken over by yet another fast food Asian Fusion type restaurant. It is not quite finished as yet although they are open. Stay tuned for future rating and menu updates just to be fair to the new establishment.

    Pinkberry"s Sminkberry's  Flurt is in my neighborhood and I love it. The fresh  toppings are great, the size is small so I don't have to hear the gaggle of geese in background. I can actually sit down and look at the second hand Armani Shirts and Zegna jackets I have bought from the Thrift shop about 3 doors down while tantalizing my tastebuds with the flurt rendition of a yogurt sundae. (no chocolate of course). This place is great for yogurt and booty watching. (wink,wink)

Rose Restaurant

Rose Restaurant is mainly take out, being from the neighborhood I thought I would give this business a chance, it intrigued me that the restaurant could be so diverse as to sell buffalo wings as well as Indian Style Curry with Nan Bread. "Well Rose you have failed at both!" First of all any cook knows that buffalo wing sauce is tangy with varying degrees of spice, the wings were barbeque sweet with no tang. YYYUUUCCCCKKK. I ordered the spiciest wing available and received bbq wings with Tabasco sauce.Now the Curry please tell me where did you get the recipe because you need to give it back after you slap the curry out of them. It also came in a aluminum dish "that container was the tangiest thing from the place".
Again with the Tabasco sauce WTF? The salad was a good size for the price but I ordered  Italian Dressing what I received was creamy Italian. I always cream my own Italian (wink Wink). All in all this was a bad experience for me,
I cannot recommend this place for the reasons above , and also it took them 1 hour and 10 minutes to deliver my food and I am only 8 blocks away.

I just had to review this sweet lunch spot after my third visit because of the fantastic service I received on 6/12/2011 by the Server named Annie at 2:30 PM. She was great anticipated my needs exceptionally well. On my prior visits the service was not great but the food is always great as well as the price. This time Annie made the lunch experience great. Rebar should think about cloning her . To the Chef your fries are way too skinny so when you fry them they become crunchy ass potato sticks. Please consider this criticism, they are very tasty but I would love more potato in each FRY!!!!

Cafe Green

The Facade is totally unpretentious as well the interior decor. Wifi , good food and interesting fellow diners are what this modest yet excellent place delivers on a daily basis. I must admit I have never been a macaroon fan until I had one at The Green Cafe. Now I am a regular. I have been there so much that they remember my preferences, such as the delicious Pomegranate& Orange Blossom Beverage I have with my Turkey Panini. I always leave with at least two macaroons to tide me over.
Although the menu is not as expansive as some others , what is on the Menu here is done well. To me that says a lot. I was a bit reticent about reviewing this gem because I am selfish and did not want to share, Green Cafe deserves all the accolades I can give them.

I am an avid Football fan at least in my living room. Actually any sport I watch on TV must be accompanied by an order from Best Wingers or else it would be not as much fun. I always order 15 minutes before game time and they deliver right there during the introduction which I hate anyway. Exterminator wings how I love your spiciness which always brings me close to tears.(that sauce is hot). Your ample portions of side orders keeps us fighting over who gets the last of everything. I extoll the virtues of you having my credit card info stored so I only have to be concerned with my order. This place is great at what it does provide man comfort food so good it makes you want to "Choke a Chicken!".

Royal Bakery and Roti House

This place is one of the main reasons I keep my car besides going to Brooklyn for my Grandma's sweet potato pie. If you are into authentic Trinidadian Pastry rolls Coconut Drops and Cakes please by all means go!!! Now that is just for starters, it has been mentioned previously that the Roti is of ample portions and I personally have never bought one that was less meat than potatoes. If you order it with pepper please let them know how much or else the food will be to spicy for the average consumer. The service is fast and  always pleasant. The dinners are again ample portions, this place knows what they are doing. Totally TakeOut but if you are in the neighborhood this is a must try.

This place is great for what it is. Unpretentious good old cholesterol laden entrees. Hell they even serve catfish which I like to call the Pigeon of the Sea . Good Service reasonably priced food and drink. Yes I am a Hot Sauce fanatic and this place delivers. The place was nearly full but the din was not to the point of being annoying. I recommend for lunch the pulled chicken BBQ sandwich with the salad as a side vinaigrette dressing made a nice counterpoint to my taste buds. Yes I am planning on going again very soon.

Big Daddy's

Neighborhoods: Gramercy, Flatiron

Big Daddy's is called that because of the pricing. J and I went here for Breakfast on Father's Day as a sort of a joke being that she calls me "Big Daddy" when she wants something. Wow close to $10 for a stack of mushy Pancakes filled with Berries a side of bacon had only 3 strips of something that was obviously cooked by someone who did not understand the dangers of under cooking a pork product.. I gave it 2 stars
because the servers were really pleasant and busty. The Decor is kind of cute but I think Live Bait and Dukes do it a little better. All in all I cannot highly recommend this Diner except for the touristy type that want a different slice of NYC dining fair.
