I am in PA and our cafeteria stinks. I read your stuff to find cool places when I come to work in The City…

I have been watching on standby for this place to cool down. I knew everyone would swarm all over this place like a dead bug being eaten by smaller insects. I happened to interview an employee who was finishing their shift. They basically said they are in very high demand and can barely keep up. Visitors are from all over the world and believe it or not, the IBM building employees literally order sandwiches by the plate to heat up and serve for people upstairs. Including my boss! Thanks for the wonderful sandwiches Greg! I guess that’s the reason for the lack of sandwiches! Selfish people. I visited this past week to sit down at approximately 3 pm and the environment looked relaxed compared to the typical lunch rush. Give the workers some space and cool it with the attitude. I witnessed customers with such rude attitude. Not the employees with the attitude. I’m sure this place will be 5 stars soon once the ball gets rolling. This is not a private restaurant. It’s a kiosk! It’s not that bad and the Mozzarella is wonderful. The smoked Mozzarella is delicious! Quit raiding the place and leave some sandwiches for the rest of us! That includes you Greg! Visit again soon like I did. They told me this is the first kiosk version and the first in America with 15 locations worldwide. All ingredients are imported from Italy except the Vermont Mozzarella. 3 weekly shipments from Italy a week. I’m sure the chaos will cool down sooner or later.

Sat down at the lunch counter. 10 minutes went by and nothing. I tried to flag down a waitress and get a menu. She didn’t speak enough english to understand what I wanted. Then the manager came over and was very rude. I finally ordered a coffee and a salad. Food was ok but by the time I got my coffee (after asking three times) lunch was over an it was cold. I work in the building and was looking forward to this for so long. Such a terrible service experience its hard for me to go back. Good salad but the overall experience was awful. I wanted to like this place so much. :(
