Will the PC Police Close Oriental Noodle Shop?
The blog Hungry Travels points out the horribly amazing logo of the Oriental Noodle Shop on 45th btw. Lex+3rd.
I’m waiting for the P.C. police to come storming in and shut the place down. That’d be a shame, because if you ignore the mildly offensive logo and name, you can get tasty noodle dishes and noodle soups here at reasonable prices, especially for midtown (lunch will run about $7-$10). I especially like the thick, almost chewy texture of their pan fried noodles.
After last weeks (still going in the comments) debate about the Trini Paki Boys Cart (on 43rd & 6th) I shudder to think of what people are going to say about this.

I don’t know about this. This would be equivalent to a logo with a black man with his hat tilted to the side eating a piece of fried chicken or a Jewish man with a yarmulke eating a bagel with lox.
wtf is wrong with oriental. It is more accurate than “Asian” which if you want to get technical can include SW Asia
