Morton's, Other Big Chains Coming to Downtown
Yesterday the Daily News published a story about a mystery high-end steakhouse taking space in the ground floor of the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (top photo), but the restaurant’s identity wasn’t a mystery for all that long.

Yesterday the Daily News published a story about a mystery high-end steakhouse taking space in the ground floor of the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (top photo), but the restaurant’s identity wasn’t a mystery for all that long. Morton’s signed a lease for a whopping 14,500 square feet of space at the hotel, according to a press release published on CNN Money, and expects to open its 295-seat restaurant in late 2008. Doesn’t seem like the steakhouse could ever challenge Luger’s supremacy in Brooklyn (even after the Times demoted the old-school spot to two stars), but it’ll probably fit in just fine Downtown, which is increasingly drawing the national chain gang. Even more interesting (to us, anyway) was the news that Barneys, Apple, The Gap and Banana Republic have all expressed interest in taking space next door to the Marriott, in a city-owned building on Adams Street. We can only assume that the building in question is 345 Adams Street (bottom photo).

I actually have had pretty good customer service at target. That’s just from my experience.

5:16 chip on the shoulder, not sure it was about you anyway, but how’d you come up with the white man’s guilt? I admit McD’s got fast service and the poison gets served pronto to the customers.
5:10/5:14 is a big pansy who is afraid to call it as it is. grow some balls, fag.
“Is Luger’s overrated because you go there expecting so much that your expectations could never be met?”
No. It’s overrated because the waitstaff is rude, the steak is nothing particularly great, the place is in the middle of nowhere, and for some inexplicable reason, it’s very difficult to get a resevation there. On the contrary, I wasn’t expecting very much when I went there, and I was not disappointed. That’s why it sucks.
Except 5:04 – none of the stores mentioned pay minimum wage in their Brooklyn locations – and btw McDonalds tend to have great service (especially compared to other mass merchants) –
Oh well back to the sociological drawing board to come up with a blame-the-white-man explanation for the horrible employees working retail in NYC.
