I don't know what it was they brought me, but it was GREEN!

That's why I was hoping it would be somehow "different." However, it was indistinguishable from the restaurants to the left or right of it.<BR/><BR/>I'll look up the Telephone Bar & Grill when I'm in NYC! Sounds yummy.Lisanne624https://www.blogger.com/profile/14515571677458538151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077278278710630031.post-1553067802931110962009-02-19T01:34:00.000-05:002009-02-19T01:34:00.000-05:00Whenever I'm back in the States and see an "Authen...Whenever I'm back in the States and see an "Authentic Fish and Chips" sign (or an "Anuthentic American Diner" sign here) I always take it as a challenge.MikeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530099708429116393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077278278710630031.post-1667148762259456602009-02-18T01:30:00.000-05:002009-02-18T01:30:00.000-05:00How interesting would it be to be an American tryi...How interesting would it be to be an American trying to open up an English style gastropub? Personally, I wouldn't want to risk it, because I would be too paranoid about it not being authentic enough. On the other hand, one must make money, so it has to appeal to Americans as well. <BR/><BR/>I used to live in New York City, and there is a great restaurant called Telephone Bar & Grill. It's not quite a gastropub, but it has really great food, including vegetarian shepard's pie! (I'm vegetarian). You should check it out if you're in NYC anytime soon! <BR/>http://www.telebar.com/index.htmlBrit Fancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473031474235655242noreply@blogger.com
