I walked by the snail in greenpoint last night at 420 and there was a guy waiting outside. I asked what he was doing and he said someone paid him $100 on taskrabbit to wait. People are broken in NYC at this point.

That's so depressing. I'm happy for the line guys whose businesses are booming but I can't respect anyone who pays someone to wait in line at a restaurant for them lol

A restaurant that not many people

Have heard of as well. The waiting on line for pizza, ice cream, Bradley cooper to shoot cheez whizz in your mouth, and the local “neighborhood bistro” is NYC’s new humiliation ritual.

So embarrassing... The Snail is also a knockoff Monkey Bar/4 Charles. If you're gonna wait, at least do it for the real thing

It's very good and there are so many different rooms in there that it's always fun to see where you get seated. I had a delicious fried whole fish last time I was there 🐠

Oh gosh I think about the cabbage at Uncle Boons weekly 😭. Diner is my go-to walk-in bar meal — nothing fancy but the perfect burger and Caesar salad!

Ok for brunch you have to get the pane fritelle, it’s like layers of polenta crepes and it’s always a special and the shakerato is better than bar pisellino’s (I said what i said)
