West Side Cottage Too?
Haha, very clever--now clean up the damn roach that's sitting by my
new Nikes. This is how pathetic lunch has become. We walk into a restaurant,
notice the dead roach underfoot before we order and go ahead and get
the cheap-ass lunch special anyway. Did we mention the deceased creature
to management? Of course not--we're assholes. Plus, the folks here
are kind of on the abrupt side. They wave you to a table, take your
order, run away, run your food to you and then run away again. The
damn thing probably got trampled by one of the nervous servers in
a panic to escape having to make eye contact with one of the patrons.
My test Chinese meal is usually sweet and sour chicken, which in this
case is extremely odd and not particularly good, but the back up chicken
and mixed veggies was decent, if not a little greasy, for the insanely
low prices. While this place isn't going to win any design awards,
it's at least a little bigger and less dim than some of those freakishly
small Chinese take out places in the city. We know that almost all
restaurants in Manhattan probably have roaches, so the bugs are of
little concern (or so my brain would like to have me think) and we
can recommend this place sheerly on the return on investment. [MF]
