There's nothing in the
world like waiting in huge, confusing lines to purchase overpriced
soup and sandwiches. There's nothing like opening up an overpriced
sandwich shop and taking advantage of a captive audience with little
to no choice outside of their corporate cafeteria or packed, sit-down
joint. It's like charging $47 for a large popcorn at the movies or
$12 for a hot dog at a Yankees game--where else are you gonna go to
get the stuff? So you end up paying $8 for a sandwich with enough
meat to feed an eighteen-month baby, bread that you couldn't slice
with a hacksaw, and one piece of arugula that apparently makes the
whole thing worth it. Despite the apparent lack of quantity and quality,
desperate midtowners stand slack-jawed waiting for their fill of yellow
squash soup, fancy lettuce salads, and French bread encrusted chicken
sandwiches. We don't necessarily recommend patronizing Devon &
Blakely, but if you're in the neighborhood, you'll realize that your
limited options may lead you down that very crowded road. [MF] Other Locations: Devon & Blakely (Rockefeller Center) |
