Law & Your Lunch Order: Eros Cafe

Today is a new day! We ordered from a new restaurant that was scouted out by our lovely K-Kat! Its been a super exciting day between the new restaurant and the season premier of Lost, I honestly don't know how to contain myself! Well, actually, I have settled down a little since our lunch has arrived...it turns out I got a little too AHH! Lost! I can't focus on this entry...lets start with the fact that it was super messy! I have come to the conclusion that I do not like messy food. The container was such a mess, I didn't know what to do with it. Honestly! I had to have K-Kat teach me how to eat it. I think I am complaining too much, the food was good, I enjoyed it...much better than Energy Kitchen yesterday.


Frank is upset with his salad, he regretfully ordered it chopped. Through this action, his salad has turned into a nasty salsa.


Crista's sandwich was too sloppy also.


Ok ok, I am already thinking about the Papa Johns pizza I am going to order for Lost tonight...if I am lucky, they will still be giving out the cute little cake snacks for free! If only we could time travel, like in Lost, and re-order our lunches today, we would probably much happier. But alas, I have yet to figure out the numbers of such travel, so we will just have to think about our orders a little bit more next time.


Alright party people, this is Manny typing. Today, from Eros, I ordered "The Aphrodite" from the Greek Gods section of the menu (love it). It is described as "Chicken Souvlaki with plum tomato sices, feta cheese, cucumbers, artichoke hearts and onions." It was supposed to come with Tzatziki, French Fries/Rice & Pita.
Now, let's take attendance: Chicken Souvlaki? Absent. Instead it was grilled chicken breast. NOT the same.
Plum tomatoes: negative, instead 'regular' tomato slices (kinda out of season, so I'll allow it) The rest: present. I replaced the fries/rice with salad so therefore what I got was a Greek salad with chicken on top, which is basically what I get every day. I was thinking this would be a sexy alternative to the "yooj"* but instead it was a Greek salad without peppers and with very flavorful artichokes. It loses points because it didn't provide the emotional and psychological charge I was expecting but it was a decent tasting salad and the tzatziki was delicious.
All in all though, the first impression I've gotten from Eros is not a strong one, but rather a middling one that when combined with other mildly dissatisfacotry reviews from my comrades, makes me think twice about reordering from there. Or at least from trying to convince the lo.cations gang from ordering there. Thanks for reading, hopefully I'll have something more inspired to write about soon. Love and cupcakes.
* please take it up with Crista

Law & Your Late Lunch Order: Spice

I am such a jerk, its been pointed out many a times, but today I will admit it.

Manny wrote a review quite some time ago, and I never posted it. I have been searching my heart, trying to figure out why I would fail at such an easy, yet important task, and I have come to the conclusion, that I believe it was because I felt threatened by Manny's writing skills, and did not want him to show me up. But alas, I have come to terms with my insecurities, and am therefore finally posting his review:

Today, I indulged in some SPICE (Thai). I had Japanese Eggplant w/ Beef (& other vegetables) with some dumplings and some rice on the side. It was delicious. It didn't inspire me to extemporaneous prose like the last time I blogged, but it was enjoyable. I thought the lunch special portion would be too miniscule at first but then later on, after, I realised that it was appropriate as I didn't feel too full or hungry after and had the clarity of mind to reflect on the good taste as opposed to cursing the extra bites I would typically force myself to eat in order to see a nice clean plate below (I have a thing for symmetry).

Also, speaking of food: Crista made some treats today that were delicious and perfectly sweet as her!

and in conclusion, and yet also in advance, post-thanksgiving: I'm FUUUUUUuuuuuuulllLLLLL.

Law & Your Lunch Order: New York Burger

I swear, we must have reviewed this place once before, we order from here all the time, but I honestly can't remember writing about it...but then again, I have a horrible memory. Anyway, today its just me and Crista...we ordered our usuals, she the Greek Island Chicken Salad, and I the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad, with an Elvis Shake. Crista enjoyed hers as much as the many other times shes ordered it for lunch, I on the other hand, for the 2nd time in a row, had a difficult time enjoying my salad. Why you ask? Por que? Because I am an idiot, and forgot to ask for mine WITHOUT avacados. For those of you who do not know, I am painfully allergic to avacados...it basically feels like someone has poured a bag of cement down my throat, and I quickly turn into a statue. Every few years I test the waters to see if I have been cured, but I always fail, and end up spending the day laying flat. I was able to pick the forbidden fruit from the bowl, but seeing as they are green, and almost everything in the salad is green, I was wary that I may not have gotten them all...thus I was not allowed to fully enjoy. On top of that, I absolutely loved my Elvis Shake, which was comprised of bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate ice cream, but as most of you may know, if you are allergic to avacados, you very well could also be allergic to bananas! So I do not know who to blame if I begin to turn into a statue: banana or avacado? Actually, my neck is starting to stiffen, and my thoughts are starting to muddle...looks like I better pick a culprit fast...




P.S. Question: Who eats lunch on their computer? Answer: A non-mac user. Zing, how arrogant am I?


Mmmmm-mow mow, mmmm-mow mow...I said bird bird bird, bird is the word, bird bird bird, bird is the word

Law & Your Lunch Order: Repeats

So I know we are airing new episodes of L&O right now, but our lunch orders are all repeats this week. (What a dork!) Seeing as they are all repeats, there really isn't any reason to re-review them, but I wanted to share with you the Thai Iced Tea that Frank has discovered at Spice...everyone was worried, and thought Frank lost his marbles over the hiatus and had taken up drinking iced tomato soup through a straw:



I've been on the search, and have found two new menus- I promise to order from them soon and post some new reviews...Does anyone have any suggestions for places that deliver in Chelsea? We are always lookin'...

The End and The Beginning

So things are changing around the Law & Order Locations office...some good (I am posting again), some bad (Dan left us) and some ugly (tandem in February)...but I am excited to be back, and have told a few more people about this blog, so its time to get to work...well, not really yet. We still have another week of hiatus, but I figure I should post pictures form our big final feast of 2008. Enjoy!




Ugh! I had more pictures from the feast, but my blogging skills seem to rusty...just be happy with a picture of our happy faces right before we open our gifts from the boss lady!
