Sounds like a very interesting concept! I want everyone to know about my forward clinic Do you want a joke? :) Why do cows wear bells? Because their horns don’t work.

DUDE, I want her job! Damnnnnnnnnnnnn. Seriously, Grace, I’m with Nancy, how do we apply to be your next coworkers?

PS The proximity of sharp knives helping people respect your personal space idea is brilliant. I should try that at work, but I think I might run into bigger issues before that. Whoops!

Oh, and Wu Liang Ye has great dan-dan noodles… lex and 39th.

Right and Kujip is fantastic for their Spam Bacon and Sausage soup…a total lunchime bargain.

I guess Rinconcito Peruano closed?

Yeah… they closed the 9th Ave. location, and moved to Queens or the Bronx- I can’t remember which. Very sad… -zach

I sure do have a cubicle–it’s so maddeningly small, (since my “real” office is a 250 sq. foot kitchen with 4 ovens, 3 fridges and lots and lots of sharp knives) and yeah, my eyes do go blurry all the time sitting in front of my computer. Unfortunately, most of my close co-workers have access to knives as well, so we try to respect eachother’s space and not piss eachother off.
Zach, I actually do like saltado–scrambled eggs, shrimp, tomatoes, cheese and french fries. It is pretty awesome. (anything with french fries in it or on it is alright by me) If I find a place nearby I’ll be sure to post it.
I can’t wait to try more of these fantastic finds of yours! Especially now that Grand Sichuan is closed for good—grrrr.

Is the Grand Sichuan your talking about on 24th and 8th or the one in the 40s?

The one on 9th Ave. in the 40s. Eater seems to have confirmed that they are in fact closed. -zach
