This place hardly qualifies
as a restaurant. It's not that the food is bad or anything, but the
actual "restaurant" consists of like three tables and about
twenty square feet of usable space. In fact the majority of it is
outside the little atrium-looking main building on the public patio
of the World Wide Plaza. We're not really sure what this place does
when the temperature drops below forty-five degrees, but that's for
them to worry about. I know I certainly wouldn't want to be sitting
there shivering over my turkey burger as people from the Bally's next
door laugh at my freezing ass. If you are lucky enough to
get a seat indoors on those cold days, or out on the patio on a more
balmy afternoon, New World Grill, and its continental mixture of American,
Asian, Mexican and some sort of Caribbean food, makes for a good lunch
spot. It's not going to win any points for charm, ambience or style,
but solid burgers and chicken-type stuff make this a cool place to
hang on one of those sunny days that seem so far away in the middle
of the cold, cold winter. [MF] |
