Unpleasant Event #1
As soon as we sat down at a table outside (the weather was beautiful), a FreshDirect truck parked right next to us. Of course, they cannot switch off the engine because it operates the AC to keep the food fresh (hence the name) inside the truck. It was annoyingly loud. We asked them nicely to re-park, but they were complete a-holes and didn't give our request a second thought. They were parked illegally on a hydrant right under the No Standing sign by the way. After 45 minutes of this background music we called 311 and reported them. Unfortunately, the police never came, and the truck finally left after about an hour of idling loudly in our ears…
Unpleasant Event #2
Zhenya ordered eggs Benedict and they were delicious, however, after she finished eating and was leisurely leaning on the table – her glance wandering around and fixing for a moment on her empty plate – oh horror! – she noticed a GRILLED FLY masking as a burnt piece of bacon fat on the rim of her dish!!! She was devastated (understandably so), mainly because she was afraid that she could have eaten other grilled flies in the heat of the brunching moment. We complained, of course, and the price of her food was naturally taken off our bill. The psychological damage remained though…
