    $15 prix fixe lunch special isn't that bad: includes sandwich or salad, cookie and a drink. You will pay that elsewhere in soho for lower quality 😊

    Forever the quintessential NYC spot, packed with "beautiful people"--I love this place. Call me common, but the hamburger & fries are absolutely the BEST.
