This is the first joint
I went to after moving to my new work digs at 55th and Madison. It
was fast. It was convenient... and it was, uh, close. Would I ever
choose to eat in this hole were it not steps from my office? Not unless
I had the urge to chow down on some sad grub that looks like the left
over paninis from larger, brighter establishments. And you'd figure
that the general lack of cleanliness and cramped accommodations would
mean cheaper prices, but the cost of a sandwich and drink still hovers
in the ridiculously high $9 range. Maybe it's because they have their
own local celebrity, D.L.
Hughley, whom I've seen in there on several occasions. Of course
I've been known to misidentify celebs before, so he could just be
like a Culligan man who happens to resemble one of the more recognizable
comics out there. Or maybe because there's a total dearth of food
joints in this 'hood, even he has to stoop to this level after visiting
the gym or cigar bar or whatever it is rich people without day jobs
do in the middle of the afternoon. Whatever the case, this place has
now become nothing more than a bodega in which I stop to get a Diet
Dr. Pepper or Coke Zero on my way back to the office from the street
meat vendor on the corner. [MF]
