I moved into an apartment on Restaurant Row two years ago. This block is a cesspool of Quebecoise Buses, gatherings 'O shouting drunks outside O'Flaherty's, Scientology practitioners, stage hand pickets and an ever-present constipation of loathsome tourist groups. The residents of this neighborhood, and there really aren't that many of us, put up with a lot so that these restaurants can make their money. They could have at least sent a few tickets our way. Or would that be rubbing salt into the wound?

Just another sign that NYC is becoming a suburb or a mall. You know how the individual establishments at food courts at the malls have samples, well, this is no different. Times Square or NYC is just a macrocosm of that. Most , if not all, of these "restaurants" (Applebee's, Red lobster, Chevy's, Bubba Gump, etc. will probably have the same food anyway.

Wow, that all sounds so tantalizing. But I need to know if the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company will be there too.

A "Taste of This" and a "Taste of That". Amateur foodies, 'Taste' my ass!

As if we needed another reason to avoid Times Square.

So we have the choice of food poisoning now, or maybe mono in August? Yum.
