Looks like we were right: A fast food restaurant is indeed trying to take over the former Gage & Tollner space at 374 Fulton Street on the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn. The Daily News today reports that the chain known for its roast beef sandwiches submitted an application to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in January to modify the historic interior. We’re keeping everything in place, and anything we move in will be nonpermanent and easy to move out, said Raymond Chera, the franchisee behind the project. It will probably be the most beautiful Arby’s ever. And you better get used to the idea of being surrounded by Arby’s: Chera says he plans to open 41 locations around the city over the next decade.

I was hoping for an OTB or a comic book store.
Taco Bell rules – great stoned food.
I especially love the ones that have a Pizza Hut express in them – I can get a 7 Layer burrito and some bread sticks.
“My friend from Oklahoma called it “Taco Hell.” Never eaten there.”
That’s like in West Philly – there was a McD’s and a BK on a very sketchy corner that everone called “McDeath” and “Burglar King”.
FSRQ;
I can appreciate what you are saying, but you are looking at it from a different vantage point than I. You know what goes on in many places. I don’t. Perhaps I’m being naive, but I do appreciate some finesse in the way my food is prepared,even in a fast food place. Perhaps it’s all show, but there is something to be said for that.
Avoid both locations of Mexcal on 5th. One of them is not quite as bad as the other, but they are both pretty bad, so at the moment I don’t recall which one is worse.

the one thing ive noticed about “real” taco / mexican food places tho is that the food, specifically the shells on tacos hard and soft are always SO greasy. i like that the food in taco bell is surprising very very ungreasy. perhaps it’s all the preservatives but i dont care about stuff like that really. i tried one mexican place on 5th ave when i first moved in… mexical? i think that’s the name, it’s on a corner maybe near garfield. the food seriously tasted like dish soap and my friend kristy got ill from their “beergaritas” but im always open to trying new places as long as the price is right and the services arent skimpy.

Pricing at Rachel’s is pretty good. They’ve been having specials, so take a friend for the two-for-one nights. Tuesdays I think.
There was an Arby’s in the basement/food court area of Manhattan Mall until a year or two ago. There are still a few out in Queens, one on Queens Blvd., and another visible from the expressway. There’s one in Jersey City too in the mall but I’m rarely there. Can’t think of any others that I’ve seen but there may have been one on 14th st at some point years ago. The only thing I usually get is the Jamocha shake, like someone mentioned above.
Also, nice job on the lyrics above, daveinbedstuy. I don’t usually read shit like that either but I did this time and that was funny.
