There was an age at
some point in the 90s when this whole Jetsons thing was in. Not Jetsons
really, but like the 50s version of what they thought the future would
be like--so, yeah, Jetsons. Apparently they thought we'd love the
non-color white and all sit in Mork chairs and love the feel of vinyl
on our legs. Presumably that's the kitsch this joint is going after,
although perhaps it's just some other aesthetic that I just don't
understand. There are a bunch of other places like this (Cafeteria
and the now defunct bar Drinkland
come to mind), and they usually trade in American comfort food oddly
enough. HK follows that line, mostly serving burgers and salads and
the kind of Italian fare that is really more American than anything
else. I came here for lunch, it being less than a block from my current
workplace, but I've heard it's a decent happy hour place. Honestly
there isn't a lot in this somewhat transitional neighborhood in terms
of sit down lunch places to which one can bring a client, or a person
without oozing sores. Most of the other sit down joints around this
area are ethnic (mostly Thai for some reason) so this place with its
decent straightforward menu is actually a great place for those fussy
eaters. My burger was decent, the place didn't smell a bit like urine
(being so close to the Port Authority and all) and it looked as if
someone had put at least some thought into the place. So what's not
to like? [MF]
