ReplyDeleteHow about WTF? Friday's. But seriously, now people have an alternative restaurant to go to when they tire of the Outback Steakhouse on 23rd. Badoomp.
ReplyDeletePretty much every other business in Union Square is an awful chain too. So why then does this feel so... unholy!? Perhaps it's because there is absolutely nothing subtle about it!
ReplyDeleteThese punks from Riese Restaurants are doing as much as anybody to ruin the city.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the little black sign hanging, you'll see that they're also trying tie their grand opening to Pride Week & make money off it.
ReplyDeleteStay classy TGIF.
I noticed that, anon... Ugh. Unfortunate play on their "coming out" Union Square theme...
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Curbed commentators that Manhattan is over (I actually live here and not in Brooklyn because its cheaper), but I find the "Brooklyn is the New Manhattan" comments off putting. Brooklyn is under the same pressures, just more slowly and to a lesser degree. The one commentator who pointed out that no one twenty years ago could have predicted the degree to which much of Manhattan would become a mall, and to not be so sure this can't spread across the East River, was astute.
ReplyDeleteBut on Union Square, yes it really looks like a suburban mall now. Another place I'll have to start avoiding.

ReplyDeleteOur hypocritical mayor prattles on about the dangers of transfats and salt and cigarettes, then he lets developers run wild and replace Zen Palate with TGI-Deepfry-days. Ridiculous little man. And he puts salt on his pizza! Off with his head already.
ReplyDeletei have no words for this one.
