Kristen – I meant to take a picture before we left on Saturday – but there’s a sign for a “THEATER WORKSHOP POGRAM” outside the theater I’m taking pictures at next week that makes the sign from the restaurant look like the OED. Stay tuned.

Bet I scared the neighbours with the high peals of laughter that ensued when I read this post and saw the photo. I’m all for grammatical bitchiness, especially when people are just asking for it!
I’m glad to have found this blog (courtesy my friend Steve who is a regular reader). Love it! In re the post…I’d have a hard time eating here too…some might consider it irrational …but then hey, I don’t question their need to not have their food touching on a plate!

Based on that, wouldn’t et cetera be dessert, complete with a demitasse of et al?

See, I assumed it was a diner that only sold prefixes: ultra-, anti-, ex-, non-, et cetera.

When I see “pre-fix” I just take it as literally as possible. The meals were made ahead of time and are sitting in the fridge ready to be nuked for my dining (excuse me, dinning) pleasure.

maybe all the smart folks are inside preparing the food and providing excellent service? or… not.

I have to say, I’ve never understood the appeal of this place, especially when you can walk a straight line down W187th to St. Nicholas Ave and find at least three taco places without delusions of “corn ralish” grandeur.

Spelling & grammar aside, I’ve tried this place a couple of times & it’s not that good – the red sauce on the enchiladas, etc, is a little too close to marinara…

By the way, there are much better signs right around the corner at Next Door – correctly spelled AND clever.

In these troubled economic times, the lure of cheap dinner (or diner, ha!) may over rule my annoyance with the spelling. $18.95 – that’s pretty inexpensive.

David: “‘Help Wanted’ but not in the way they meant” is going make me laugh all day.

Beth: I think you mean “gafes” — or if you’re a classier type place, “gafés.”
