Location

  • "All the printouts on the walls and doors celebrating the owners story are sorta self-congratulatory tbh."
  • "Some of the photos with celebrities really do look like the founder stumbled upon them on the streets of NYC and stopped for selfies rather than an intended visit."
  • "The server up front had way too much energy and was just loud throughout his whole service."
  • "The only downside was the overall cleanliness of the store, during a busy period there is a lot of food pieces all over the tables and floors, as well as the garbage bin overflowing."
