I only ended up here
because that blasted Chipotle joint was apparently giving away peyote-dipped
taquitos the way freaks were lining up to get take-out Mexican. Not
that Pret is necessarily a bad second-place, but I really wanted a
nice, smoky burrito that day. As a fast-food chain, one Pret doesn't
really vary much from one to the next. This one did seem kind of lonely
considering the number of folks streaming by on 42nd Street. I don't
usually sit down at these places, but did this one day, and didn't
find it an entirely unpleasant experience. I'm sure I had one of two
sandwiches I always get here (tuna or chicken) and I'm sure it was
just fine, if not just a tad too cold from the refrigerated case.
That is the downfall of this place, as they really don't have much
of a selection, and rarely, if ever, changes up their menu. So, if
you don't like any of the ten things they have, you're kinda s.o.l.,
and there's really no point in ever stepping foot in this place ever
again. It certainly is good for a quick sandwich fix, and is consistent
in a McDonald's
kind of way--no matter which one you go to, the tuna will always taste
like tuna--kind of. [MF] Other Locations: Pret a Manger (Midtown East) Pret a Manger (Midtown East II) Pret a Manger (Murray Hill) Pret a Manger (Rockefeller Center) Pret a Manger (Times Square) Pret a Manger (Turtle Bay) |
