1. Plan 452 Inc. Laundromat & Dry Cleaner
New York, NY 10018
(212) 594-8897
Category:
Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West
AVOID AVOID AVOID! I now call Plan 452, "the shitty laundromat down the street where the mean lady who yells at people works."
I dropped off a jacket I needed dry cleaned for an event the next day. They assured me it would be back in the morning, by…More »
2. Cargo Cafe
Bryan: "What's in the burrito?"
Waiter: "I don't know."
Bryan: "I'll have the grilled chicken sandwich."
55 minutes later we left, having never gotten any food.
No food = No stars.
(Well, one star, but that's as low as I can go. Which, btw, I think Yelp…More »
3. St Luke's Hospital
New York, NY 10025
(212) 523-4000
Category:
Hospitals
Neighbourhood: Morningside Heights
(Update: After going for my follow up appointment I discovered that I was misdiagnosed, and had actually broken a bone in my foot about 5 inches away from the one St. Luke's told me I'd broken. Automatic bump down from three stars.)
You know the shows…More »
4. Slate Restaurant Bar & Billiards
New York, NY 10010
(212) 989-0096
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Flatiron
Let's talk about bathroom attendants for a minute. People of the world - how bougie must we be?!? Their very presence and creepy insinuation of overbearing necessary care reminds me of Coming to America's best line, "The royal penis is clean your…More »
5. Grounded
New York, NY 10014
(212) 647-0943
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: West Village
Walked in and was blinded by the creepy light of dozens of macbooks staring me down. As soon as I saw that every uncomfortable looking jammed in cafe style chair was full of people all facing the same direction (creepy!) I walked out to find a less…More »
6. Subway
Washington, DC 20015
(202) 237-0343
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Friendship Heights
Any Subway that makes me feel like an asshole for wanting more than a shred of lettuce, two skinny pieces of cucumber and half a chunk of green pepper on my sandwich gets a big ol'
Booooooooooooo.
But they still bake their own bread, sigh, hence the…More »
7. Citrus Bar & Grill
New York, NY 10023
(212) 595-0500
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Upper West Side
Citrus' recipe for a mojito:
Plop ice in glass. Use fingers.
Throw in mint. Nah, don't bother muddling.
Slop in pre-mixed drink from plastic easy pour bottle.
Serve.
From the start, a bad sign.
They don't so much fuse the Asian and Mexican food here…More »

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Delis,
Cafes
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Midtown West
Dear Seattle,
I am SO over you. I get that make your own salads appeal to the suited up "I swear I'm eating healthy and no I never read that article about how dressing and toppings make a lot of salads crazy fattening" set. I understand why pre-made…More »
9. Biodôme de Montréal
Montréal, QC H1V 1B3
Canada
(514) 868-3000
Categories:
Museums,

We went expecting what the Biodome advertised: "At this captivating kid-friendly exhibit you can amble through a rainforest, the Arctic Circle, rolling woodlands or along the raw Atlantic oceanfront - all without ever leaving the building. Be sure to…More »
10. Pathmark of Harlem
Unless you live within a few blocks of this behemoth disaster, take the 1 to 125th or hop on the M60 bus that runs down 125th and just go to Fairway.

No crackheads. Well organized and run. Helpful staff. Great store.More »
11. Boucarou - CLOSED
New York, NY 10003
(212) 529-3262
Categories:
Lounges,
French,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: East Village
I was not so into it. From the snobby host man at the door to the bland music, it did not impress. Bottle service and a tired flare as the cork when it comes to your table are not so much my scene. Coat room was the half landing to the side, very…More »
12. Bollywood Funk NYC Dance School
New York, NY 10018

This place sucks. All hype.
13. Ming's Chinese Food Express
New York, NY 10001
(212) 868-1378
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Midtown West
Woah. I feel bad about giving this place the review I'm about to give it, I was sure I'd be the only one who'd reviewed it! But anyways...
It sucked.
Fried rice had zero flavor and questionable shrimp. It looked orange like Spanish rice, but no…More »
14. Famous Original Ray's Pizza
New York, NY 10002
(212) 358-7980
Not good. If you are drunk, Ray's might seem delicious. But then again, McDonald's tastes like a Per Se tasting menu when I'm drunk.
15. New York Athletic Club
New York, NY 10019
(212) 247-5100
Overpriced unremarkable fare garnished with curly parsley and a lemon wedge if you're lucky. I've only eaten here with a friend of my parents, and I am sure the place's illustrious history and other amenities have something going for them, but the…More »
16. Shoreline Diner & Vegetarian Enclave
Lipstick on my coffee cup and a black CURLY hair in my food.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Food, not so good. Weird apologetic rant on the cover of the menu explaining that vegetarians do not dislike meat eaters or mean to offend them, and they aim to bring…More »
17. Central Park Boathouse
New York, NY 10128

Categories:
Boating,
American (Traditional),
Bike Rentals
Neighbourhood: Upper East Side
These stars are only for the view.
We went there last year for Easter and it was a nightmare. The menu was lacking in variety. And what did come out was uninspired and WAY overpriced, even for a NY classic. Steamed under-seasoned salmon with dill and…More »

New York, NY 10019
(212) 315-0088
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West
I went with a guy who used to wait tables here, who knows what I like. And still, what we got was totally blaaaaah. The wasabi crusted tuna was almost flavorless. The crust was just weird. Not cripsy, almost bready, and charred. The only good thing…More »

Categories:
Spanish,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Theater District
Meh.
They sat us in the basement. Threadbare, low-ceilinged and not at all homey or cute. Recessed lighting with little to no atmosphere.
We ordered tapas and red wine. The rioja was not great, and not the cheap option. The marinated artichokes were…More »
20. Ollie's Noodle Shop
Not the worst, not at all the best. They make a good scallion pancake. The service is rushed and the tables too close to each other. Convenient location across from the movie theatre otherwise I'd probably not end up back here.
21. Starbucks
Manhattan, NY 10001
(212) 563-0692
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Midtown West
Staff is nice, but the line set up DOES NOT EXIST. Boo. Give me stantions and I'll give you 3 stars. It's a smallish Starbucks hidden in the lobby of an office building. Seating, not so much.
There are too many crazy Starbucks that have other types…More »
22. Yvonne Yvonne
Steam-table take out Caribbean food. Blah. Lots of meat. Something about steam table food just creeps me out. Honestly, I didn't try the meaty stuff so that might be better, but if some food ain't great, the rest could probably be better too.
23. Manhattan Diner - CLOSED
New York, NY 10024
(212) 877-7252
You know. Diner food. Good for middle of the night dining and wake up calls. I def. think I saw the rough edges of this place.
My friend's burger did not come out correctly, cooked wrong with the wrong kind of cheese. He also said it just wasn't very…More »
24. Dick's Last Resort
*** Please note: In this review I come off as a nasty nasty bitch. I am usually not! I am sweet. I like puppies. I love baking. Rainbows rock. But this particular afternoon, when I could have ended up somewhere simple but fun I ended up here, and it…More »
