What can I say? I love
the chain joint when I want consistency and lack of rubber gloves
and roaches in my sandwiches. Why I feel safer and more at ease with
these places is beyond me. They're probably the same sandwiches they
put together at the corner roach and toast deli, but maybe they're
packed in some clean plant somewhere in the Midwest and then shipped
in sealed containers and not left festering on the corner of 33rd
street for every degenerate and disease-ridden scumbag to sneeze on
the warming boxes of luncheon meat. Granted, I'm still sure this is
what happens with all the Subways
and disappearing Blimpies
in the city. So why trust Pret beyond these others? Chrome. Well,
chrome and courtesy. They seem to have plenty of both, which bumps
it just above those other crap chains. Plus their chicken and fresh
mozzarella sandwich isn't half bad. It's not really half good either,
but the cross of the saltiness and crunchy baguette makes for an occasional
treat. Otherwise, you know what you're getting, so take it or leave
it. [MF] Other Locations: Pret a Manger (Midtown East) Pret a Manger (Murray Hill) Pret a Manger (Murray Hill 2) Pret a Manger (Rockefeller Center) Pret a Manger (Times Square) Pret a Manger (Turtle Bay) |
