  1. yeah kens – i don’t find diner that pretentious. they only write the menu on receipt paper if you sit at the bar – otherwise (as you witnessed) the servers spout off about 15 specials by memory.

    not sure about brooklyn fare – got my rez for march 1st tho, so we’ll see!

  2. “martinis flavored with Mongolian rocks soaked in vermouth for twelve hours”.

    Perhaps I’m channeling my inner *Rob* today, but this expression encapsulates why I sometimes find myself hating NYC, even though it’s my home town. If this were an isolated case, who would care? THe problem is that wide swaths of this town are now populated by people who actually take this type of pretentious nonsense seriously.

    I’s love to hear these douchebag’s explanation as to why the rocks must come from Mongolia.
