Pump Energy Food Gets (Another?) Makeover
Confession time. I’ve been an occasional customer of The Pump for years (hides head in shame). I know there are a lot of haters out there, but for any of you fans who are probably also in hiding, the West 55th Street branch (btw 5th and 6th) reopened yesterday with a completely new look (no more muscle protein shops) and updates to the menu since Zach’s visit last year. Looks like the Dionysus plates have been replaced with dishes made with all local, seasonal and sustainable. I couldn’t care less about the new vintage look and antique bric-a-brac, but I am interested to see how the food stacks up. I’ll swing by soon to check it out. In the meantime, early adopters feel free to let us know what you think of the new Pump in the comments.

I’m perplexed by this entire post. 1) The makover is not new. They completely reinvented the whole chain quite a while ago and 2) Are there really a lot of haters? Why? This whole nonsense about throwing bile on anything that attempts to be even a little bit healthful is baffling. I like unhealthy food too, but I don’t eat it every day. Any restaurant that sells fresh, healthful, tasty food at a reasonable price should be celebrated. I seriously LOVE this place.
As for the food, I also miss the Dionysis plate, which was awesome and filling and cheap. What I like from their new menu is the the slow braised beef over brown rice with sweet potatoes. It’s really delicious.
