Missed Connections: Were You Flirting On the Line At Tim Hortons Yesterday?
I was always hoping the “Connections” section of the Midtown Lunch forums would work this way… Ladies of Midtown Lunch, were any of you at the Tim Hortons on 50th & 7th Ave. yesterday morning? There’s a guy who might be looking for you in the forums:
Oh, and speaking of Tim Hortons, I finally got my iced cappuccino yesterday afternoon!
$3.50 for a pretty large medium, the service at the 50th Street and 7th Ave. location is still pretty horrendous… but it was worth the wait. Just as good as I remember from Montreal. A warning though: it’s a machine made, super sweet, icy drink. Much more like a watery frappe, than a respectable coffee drink. The good thing is, it’s already made so once you order it only takes a few seconds for them to get it for you (and they can’t screw up the milk/sugar/coffee ratio.) It’s already a perfectly concocted cup of liquid crack. (Sweet sweet crack.)
As predicted, the food at Tim Horton’s leaves a little to be desired, and it sounds like all the locations are still having service issues (which is understandable considering that all their employees worked at Dunkin Donuts as of last Friday.) Lunch’er “Sir-eats-a-lot” had this to say:
Checked out the Tim Horton’s on 42nd and Madison. The lady who took my order wasn’t aware that the combo meal involved a side order, despite the large sign behind her indicating as much. The iced coffee (special request, paid extra for it) was spot on. Sandwiches were nothing special, the donuts are clearly why you go here. I had a good but diabetically-sweet cruller, though my friend ordered a boston cream which lost its icing in the bag… AND HAD NO CREAM IN IT. Opening jitters being what they are, we let it slide.
Back to more important issues… can Midtown Lunch help this guy get a date!

I suspect this was a Midtown luncher as well..
“my friends and i were eating dinner last night at vynl around 7 and you strolled by our table on the way to the restroom and clearly farted all over us – the smell reminded me of death and also a bit like The Ritz on a Friday night. It lingered at our table and ruined our meal, but you’re so hot that I’m willing to overlook this if I can do you in the butt. We smiled at each other (while I was trying not to vomit), so you know who this is. Hit me up if you see this, gas-master.”

@vdubjb: Wow, your gem totally outshines mine. From the context I think it was a girl who farted, because of the butt doing, but I’m not going to rule anything out.

vdub- the gas master must be a street meat lover

Aww Z is a romantic, he even reposted it so that girl is sure to see it. I love it!

I’m having a missed connection with the dress that woman is wearing on the right! That is awesome! I want it!

The iced coffee I got on Monday was so weak. It was all ice, a hint of coffee and mostly milk.
On the other hand, the blueberry donuts, heavenly.
-
I ordered and boston creme donut today and they grabbed the “right” one…I got back to the office and no creme :(
-
@Liv: That’s what you get when you order a “Boston” creme donut in New York from a Canadian company. It was a futile exercise.

can a midtown lunch “casual encounters” forum be far behind?

Understable?
Freudian slip or Zach sending cryptic messages to AL Qaeda/DAR again?
Still haven’t been there despite walking by one at 34th and 6th every morning.
To the lovesick guy, 1 suck it up bitch, 2 just go back again.
I’m gonna post that gem in his thread in the forums.
