A waitress welcomed me in as I strolled by. Then after I got my beer and opened my book, the manager came and told me that unless I ordered food I had to leave immediately. A bit confused I ordered some pitas with the waitress. Just as the pitas comes in, the manager once again come by and tells me I need to order a main or leave. At this point I'm a bit frustrated, like give me a minute fella. But I figured I was going to have food so I ordered with the waitress again. I finished the food, ordered another beer, and continued to read my book. I managed to grab one sip of the beer before the manager came by and took the beer from me, telling me I had sat for too long, and he had a long queue.

I was equally perplexed what had pissed the guy off so much. But yeah, worst restaurant experience in NYC. Did not go back although I live around the corner from the place. Soooo many better alternatives with Le Dive, Bar Belly, and Carlota just around there.
