Another one of those
gigantic, meandering midtown lunch joints with every imaginable kind
of food under glass. Want a panini? They got it. Want a burrito, chicken
roll, salad, slice, lo mein, bbq chicken sandwich or bag of peanuts?
Well, besides being a complete pig, and having a horrible case of
gas, you will definitely find what you're looking for. Okay, if you
want something really specialized, such as Ethiopian food or clams
casino, you may have to look elsewhere, but you could eat here for
an entire week and not duplicate a food type once. Granted, the place
is kind of crowded and doesn't seem particularly clean. But with all
the foot traffic and hullabaloo, that's not surprising. I had a chicken
roll from what I guess is the pizza/baked Cosi-like
sandwich counter, and it definitely didn't measure up to one from
a real pizza joint, but was certainly serviceable. Interestingly,
they actually offer the chicken rolls in two different variations:
breaded like a chicken parmesan, which is the more traditional approach,
or grilled, which is certainly healthier, but not even close to as
tasty. Seriously, I know way too much about chicken rolls, but I have
to be an expert about something, right? [MF]
