And where was this supposedly good chain restaurant in the city?
Queens! And I had a buffalo chicken sandwich. The bread was somewhat insufficient, but still.
That TGIFriday's by Penn Station? I've walked in and out of there at least once.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to say, when traveling, I usually go to chains. Because while I've had some wonderful meals in random non-chain restaurants, I've also had some awful ones. So I'd often rather go for "acceptable" than risk "gross" (ie "The Worst Mexican Food Ever, In Oklahoma City")
Plus, most of those low price type chains (applebees, outback, whatever) have beefed up their takeout options, which I love if I don't feel like sittign there and just want to go back to teh hotel.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's the one. We had seen a movie down there, and there's nowhere to eat down there, and we didn't know any better. Nowadays I guess I would go to Keen's, would have cost about as much as that dump.

There's an Applebees in Battery Park City, just north of the World Financial Center.

Mustang Sally's and/or Harry's. Perfectly good bar food.

You would think that it would not be horribly difficult to find a pair of uncropped, reasonably priced cargo pants.
This is also my GF's lament and has been for several years now.

Yeah, I guess I've gone to the Triple Crown (right next to Sally's) a lot down there, it's not bad.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've scored all my cargo pants at resale ships.

Timelies all!
Silly kitten decided to start meowing outside our door at 5 am this morning. I guess someone was unhappy about us being away...

Yeah, if I'm alone and not with any locals, I'll pick chains. But that's more in transit, because if I'm picking the destination, I'll research. Or you know, ask here.
My parents take me out to a lot of chains when I visit, but we often eat out a LOT when I visit, not sure why. At least 50% of the time, it is the local non-chain restaurants. A lot of mexican at their usual haunts, and GASP even Thai (with some fun mexican-thai fusion!) and Indian (sadly, the Indian place closed under a cloud. But it was seriously the best Indian I've ever had. And in Las Cruces? Weird.) And of course burgers and burritos from Ray's Liquor store, which is in an old gas station turned feed store turned liquor turned liquor and semi-takeout.
