Wendy's Doubles Down in Downtown Brooklyn
People must really love their fast food in Downtown Brooklyn.

Legion, Jean Georges’ restaurants are louder and more obnoxious than a crowded White Castle.
dibs,
I’m sure it’s a Chicago thing and a Philadelphia thing as much as certain pizzeria’s or hot dog joints are.
If you grew up in New York as I did, you will invariably have a story linked to White Castle since they were always there and always open for that 3:00AM run.
Picture the scene in Saturday Night Fever where they’re jumping on top of the tables in White Castle, that’s the one that used to be on 5th Ave and 90 something street in Bay Ridge, Ironically the space is now occupied by a Pizza Uno’s and a big building.
These places were always more homey and chintzy than other fast food places (if that’s even possible) and were always present in the working class areas. Hardly ever in suburban areas.
again, Jean Georges has nothing to worry about.
jester,
I haven’t had lunch yet. you’re killing me with that description of the tasty pork sandwich! lol
Legion, excellent – although it’s not a pulled pork sandwich but rather a pork chop sandwich, as in a battered pork chop like a fish sandwich. It has this pickled cole slaw to go on top. Perfect meal.
Not sure why you are all talking about White castle as the “seminal New York experience.” It was started in Wichita, Kansas and the stores are modeled after the hicago “Water Tower.”
It’s about as “New York” as a deep dish pizza or a Philly cheesesteak.
jester,
If you vouch for the pork sandwich, then count me in.
I was having fun pulling 11217’s leg for the Bark advocacy.
whether it’s pulling legs or pulled pork, though, don’t let it be said that I would ever pass up a chance at a new experience.
kens,
sounds like Spumoni Gardens is the only thing you will ever get all the brownstone posters to agree on.
11217, huh?
Benson and Legion, Spumoni is the BEST with the square slices, no competition.
I was by Totonnos last week and saw them working on the new place but it definitely wasn’t open. Maybe they managed to finish everything and had it up and running as of this year but it wasn’t open the week between Christmas and New Years that’s for sure.
Coming from you, I’ll take that as a compliment.
This is what the New Yorker says about the table tents there that boast of Bark’s eco-friendly choices:
“The information is interesting, but its presentation verges on self-righteous”
Perfect for 11217.
