Riddle Me This: Tango Grill, White Plains
What the heck is up with the windows at Tango Grill in White Plains? Every time I walk by this place, between 2-4 windows are ALWAYS BUSTED OUT, and they're not always the same windows, so obviously they ARE being repaired.
Sometimes it looks like a bullet hole; other times it looks like someone just hammered into the window shattering it in its pane.
Sure, they have a valet...
Sure, they require reservations...
I feel confident in speculating that the food there could very well be delightful.
However! (And this is a BIG however), it doesn't matter how nice the food is, or how lovely the ambiance, or how attentive the service is, if, while you are there paying $29 for a pork chop entree, some crack-addled derelict decides THAT night is the perfect night to do a drive-by or terrorize diners by bashing on the nearest window with a hammer or a rock.
Can someone explain why their windows are consistently busted out, and/or, why after the first 20 windows they've replaced, why they have not had their windows replaced with bullet proof glass?
Note to the web designer for Tango Grill: Please give folks a button to skip out of the flash animation. It's so passee. Even Steve Jobs thinks it's an outdated technology.
White Plains: A Bit of Old News & Some New
It's been a while!
Let's see, what's happening in town:
Closed:
Meme Bakery (been closed a few months, lost track of how long it's been). Wish I could say I missed the place, despite its promise, I wasn't impressed.
Expanded (Now Closed):
Manna Foods
http://www.mannafoodsonline.com
171 Mamaroneck Avenue
White Plains, NY 10601-5302
(914) 946-2233
As of May 13th, the store re-opened after expanding into the adjacent space, thus doubling the size and breadth of the store. I can't wait to head in there for my vitamins and browse the new shelves!
A note for some folks who don't traverse to the depths of the back of the store: there is prepared food available (soups, and other items for lunches, all vegetarian if my memory serves me correct). I need to head there ASAP!
Been Open a While:
Melt
http://www.meltsandwich.com
277 Mamaroneck Avenue
White Plains, NY 10605
(914) 358-1364
How or why is it, I JUST RECENTLY realized this shop opened? Apparently it's been open since 2009!
It's about a block further than I normally walk during lunches, but I figured I'd give it a try. So the first sunny day after I realized this shop exists, I popped in.
Considering I'm only four months out from weight loss surgery, and being wooed by the smokey smell in the shop, I opted for one of their half salads, the Wedge, which had some bacon on it. I had them add some chicken to it so my nutritional need for more protein were met. With a large ice tea, lunch came to about $9. A little pricey for a half salad, but worth it.
Mmmmmm.... smokey meat! I'm coming to get you. Next time! Next time!
Everything was fresh and tasty. Not a wilted leaf in the bowl. The iced tea was good and didn't taste like instant dreck, always a plus.
I'm ogle-ing their menu right this moment, and day dreaming of what else I might have at my next visit.
One request (if the owners are reading): Nutritional info please! I'd love to know calories and protein counts of the menu items. It helps a lot to negotiate what I (and no doubt other folks, too) can have for lunch!
They even have a blog http://meltsandwich.blogspot.com/ ! And thanks to them, I didn't know about the existence of the 914 Magazine:)
Good luck to the folks at Melt! Hope you're around for a while! Good food, plus a good excuse to get a little extra walk in my day!
Note: My links are not hyperlinking. Hope to fix this once at home tonight. But I'm so ready to hit publish post, RIGHT. THIS. MINUTE!
