Hank C.'s Profile

Great service and happy store workers. They even asked me if I wanted anything, even though I was not looking, just waiting for my companion to finish shopping. While they're definitely more women in the store, they do have a tiny kid area in the back left as you enter. Sometimes they have excellent deals with a regular discount on top of the promotions. And they have a loyalty program - spend $400 and get $40 off the next purchase.

Parking's a pain on the street but that's because it's close to the Queensboro entry.

Actually a deeper location than I expected from the outside, and not really well-labeled as a bar, it looked more like a restaurant sign.  The bar up front is long and there's a second to the right in the back.

There's a nice set of TVs in the back, and more - oyster & wine special on Tuesday, too. Lightly staffed the one weeknight a few of us went - one bartender for both open bars, so that took a while to get drinks and food.

They were actually shooting some kind of commercial photos here - perhaps for a new menu?

Anyway, if you go in, there's a bar to west side and ordering line for food and the kitchen to the south (two entries, so that's why I use direction rather than left/right/ahead/behind). They have a number of different burgers, deli sandwiches and salads, soups, and drinks in a case to the left of the cashier. Orders are taken by a number of workers, sometimes not communicating with each other. Ordered a Rose burger (bacon, cheese, and onions) plus pickles, and got a placard to take back to our table. Bar wasn't open on a Saturday lunch-time.

Ended up, they didn't bother bringing it out - we had to check in on our burgers about ten minutes later. Apparently they were just waiting there in the kitchen for us... not sure what the number placard was for on our table.

Smaller than I thought, the meat and toppings weren't bad, but the bun could've been better - something like an onion or egg bun would've done wonders. For $9, though, it was a darned small burger (though to be fair, it was $2.50 for the Honest Tea). I'd go get a Big Mac and it'd also satisfy my tastes for cheaper.

Service... meh. No recycle container for the drinks, either, so a down step there. Burgers, I've had better. Tables are meant for two and you can slide them side-by-side, fortunately. They seem to be meant to drop aside to make room for the happy hour later.

One redeeming quality - you can get free potato chips to top your sandwiches & burgers with. Interesting, and good, according to my fellow diners.

Always appreciate when the owners write to say hi and address issues! Props for that!

The good things about the restaurant includes that there's seating and there's a mini-bakery up-front with all kinds of flaky pastries and roasted yams and other treats. I'm not a fan of the lady collecting cash and picking up food, though. Best get the hot food separately?

Came here on a weekend for parking - Sat/Sun day special where you enter from 5am - 5pm, up to midnight and it's only $15. Not bad for the city. Attendants are a bit aggressive driving.

Only issue - getting in and out of this garage is on a short section of 33rd St that's bounded by a long light - meaning bad traffic some days to move in and out of the area.

Group of friends and I randomly stopped by here during a break in-between events at the nearby pier, and was pleasantly surprised to find art galleries open to guests close to the water.

Simple, and the staff is unobtrusive unless you want a lesson in the art history. It's a mostly private art-lovers gallery here. I'm impressed at the displays, but like Ligaya T. noted, some of the galleries seemed... out of place. Not that I'm an art expert, by any means, but our group noticed it.

Not bad for a diner. I ordered the Virginia ham... it came in thin slices rather than the ham steak I'm used to. And they charge per glass of drink - including refills each charged separately, so buyer beware. The service was okay, though we had to constantly remind the waitstaff for water, and one of the serving plates brought for the appetizer was dirty still.

Overall, a huge food selection, and a lot of choices. Decent mozzarella sticks, okay stuffed potato skins, and okay chicken fingers. The meal of ham slices grilled was not as tasty, and dry. Fruit sauce was sweet, very colored red, and had a few pieces of pineapple.

The parking is in the lot in the far back; the parking by the diner is actually for the auto shop. Maybe annoying for some.

Overall, I've had better at diners. But this isn't bad, but NJ has a lot of diners, and this is the one closest to the square in Morristown, I'm guessing good for the passing drinkers at the square.

Cheap and easy to order off of Seamless, this restaurant sent us free vegetable pakora when you order $20 or more for delivery. That was one reason to order from them.

The curries were cooked mild and smooth as requested, but the paneer was a bit tasteless, almost like it was a bit too watered down. The group liked the Navratan Curry, though. Garlic naan was not up to my expectations (I like it softer, not as dry and crisp). Rice was acceptable, and chicken tikka masala was nice and spicy.

Oh, forgot to add - the samosas were actually quite tasty.

The one irritation - the delivery guy called me 4 times, unable to find a place that is clearly labeled on google maps -plus- I texted him the exact building name and location on the NYU campus. You'd think they'd get more orders for our area, but perhaps I'm expecting too much. I asked for delivery at 9p indicating my class went until then, and the guy shows up at 8:40p and wants to deliver... wonderful timing there.

Overall, while cheap, it doesn't beat any number of other restaurants that I've been to eat at, and there are many of them in the East and West Village that are closer.

They have petite sizes here which is convenient. Random 40% items on sale today. The store clerks are active and the changing rooms in the back are bright and spacious. Only women's clothes here, of course. The guys sat around on a few small soft ottomans, which there probably should be more of.
