Little Branch is not pretentious; thought it had a cool laid-back vibe.

I love your posts, Martha, because they attract the BEST commenters. LOL: using leetspeak in a userID - pot calling kettle, come in kettle. Um, also, you come to a website about New York to complain about pretension? First of all, booze and fruity drinks, some Indian-like grub, and a nice setting. Where's the pretension? What is it that makes a place lack pretense? Pools of vomit? Real truckers wearing trucker hats? Deer heads hung on the walls? Back to the fields with you, peasant. Indian Goodness: I don't remember Martha attesting to the owner's "creativity". Also, if the sauce was "cilantro pesto", what else should she call it? Perhaps "minty pickled sour sauce"? Renew your prescription, please. Jen: You guys really need to look into the commenting system adopted by Weblogs, Inc. Calacanis got it right: every comment needs a real email address, where you receive an email asking to confirm each and every comment. That'll get rid of a LOT of these nasty, useless commenters.

Was there on Friday night. Not many people, pretty cool ambiance, stiff and relatively expensive drinks. The piano is not for playing; was reprimanded after (drunkingly) hitting a few keys.

I was actually at Milk & Honey the very first night that it opened, for a birthday party. I remember thinking, "Cool place, but it'll never make it." Shows you what I know. I still have the card with the very first "secret" phone number on it.

So, they served you papadum with coriander chutney and tamarind sauce... which is served at practically every Indian restaurant in the city. How creative. Was "cilantro pesto" their terminology, or yours?

Pretention reaches a new level.
