So wrong. How did this happen??
ReplyDeleteOkay, your shitty little chain restaurant is called, T.G.I. Fridays. So it makes perfect sense to have the grand opening day on THURSDAY. Hopefully it's a sign that it's doomed.
ReplyDeleteHa! Good point Marty!
ReplyDeleteHow did what happen, Ignorant #1? How did a restaurant in a free society open? Someone worked hard and created a business. Then they opened one in the original town the company was from, in one of the busiest and most diverse areas of one of the biggest, most corporate cities ever. Pretty easy.
ReplyDelete...and it helped that people living in the neighborhood were busy trying to figure out ways to stop smaller independent restaurant and bars from opening, like protesting their every move at the CB, while giants like TGI Fridays have enough $ to bypass all of these things and "pay off" the right people.
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Union Square? Not sure how another chain is a sign of the apocalypse.
ReplyDeletethe rest of the country is getting by just fine with plenty of TGI Fridays restaurants. You'll make it.
ReplyDelete@Anon #2: Please learn online manners and don't call people you don't know ignorant. And I live three blocks away and this place is an eyesore. And there's a man on stilts in front of it. Bah.
ReplyDeleteMarty, I think "eyesore" probably requires a redefinition in the Concrete Jungle.
ReplyDelete@AD: It makes my eyes sore when I look at it. That's all I'm saying. No redefinition needed as far as I'm concerned. And men on stilts frighten me. And this is about the 10th T.G.I. Fridays in town now.
ReplyDeletePoint taken, Marty. Just suggesting there's a difference between that which makes the eyes sore, an "eyesore," and a sign of the apocalypse. As you use it, soreness always will be in the eye of the beholder.
