Restaurants Perfect For Wasting Your Time and Money

Bell Book & Candle
141 W. 10th St, West Village, NYThere’s a reason why the only thing you’ve heard about Bell Book & Candle is that they grow a bunch of vegetables on their West Village roof. Think about it though, do you really want to eat “fresh produce” from the city of Manhattan? This whole farm to table thing has gone too far. We’re [...]

Brindle Room
277 E. 10th Street, East Village, NYConsidering there’s very little ground left un-Infatuated in the East Village, we were quite intrigued by a recent flurry of Twitter recommendations coming in on behalf of Brindle Room. Our people must be smoking the good mongo because there’s no way our trusted Twitter crew would back this place. The dinner we had here recently [...]

Niko
170 Mercer St., SoHo, NYYou know what sucks? Taking one of your artists to a restaurant that turns out to be awful. I made the call on Niko and wound up looking like a chump. Allegedly I’m supposed to know something about restaurants in this city too. All Neon Hitch wanted was some delicious sushi and a fruity vodka [...]

Fatty ‘Cue
91 S. 6th St., Brooklyn, NYFatty ‘Cue is apparently out to bring “a little Southeast Asian fermented funkiness” to Williamsburg. Something is funky alright…my stomach and their math. Everything in this place is overpriced and underwhelming.

White Slab Palace
77 Delancey St., Lower East Side, NYIf White Slab stuck purely to booze, the Infatuation would have no beef here. Unfortunately, they also serve food.

Left Bank
117 Perry St., West Village, NYI feel kind of bad about what’s about to unfold right here. Do the good people of Left Bank, who were both friendly and accommodating, realize that the restaurant they work for is awful? We’ve got to believe it’s like working on the set of the new Charlie’s Angels. Deep down, everyone must have known [...]

El Camion
194 Ave. A, East Village, NYEnough already with the new Mexican joints in the East Village. We’re over it, and currently dealing with a serious oversaturation of garbage. If our favorite can’t surive, (Mercaito Cantina RIP), we have a hard time believing newcomers like Diablo Royal and El Camion will live long, healthy lives. Hell, even La Lucha, as good [...]

Dos Caminos Meatpacking
675 Hudson St., Meatpacking District, NYWe’ve purposely left the Dos Caminos empire untouched up until this point. Calling them out for their overpriced and underwhelming food is almost too easy. It’s not entirely their fault that Mexican food in this city generally sucks, however, they’re certainly public enemy #1. Many people love Dos Caminos, and good for them – they’re [...]

Sagaponack
4 West 22nd St., Flatiron, NYAfter a recommendation from an Immaculate Board Member (since put on probation, sorry Fred), we headed to Sagaponak, a new-ish restaurant that’s flown under the radar and free of much online buzz or chatter. With an empty stomach and open mind, we went in hoping to find a diamond in the rough. Unfortunately, Sagaponak turned [...]

Home Restaurant
20 Cornelia St., West Village, NYYou can’t make the right call all the time, and while we don’t necessarily enjoy trashing a place, we don’t want you making the same mistake we did. Home is bland, unimpressive and expensive eating – and what’s worse – it’s a “critics’ pick” in NY Mag.
