Midtown Snapshots: Sign of the Times

DSC09981

This pretty much sums up Midtown 2008 to a T. Locally owned ice cream place (Blue Pig) gets replaced by a Subway; longest lunch line in the city is for 99 Cent pizza. 43rd Street btw. Lex+3rd

A 99 cent slice when it’s fresh out of the oven and oozing hot is one of the greatest cheaps eats.

Agreed! Old reheated slices can only be so good, and the 99-cent places always have fresh slices baked straight from the oven.

That’s what makes a slice good? - that it’s hot? That photo is a sad sign o the times, brah. Check out the suits near the back of the line! We need to get this economy fixed right quick.

That’s pretty funny. I’ve actually only had .99c pizza once. I’m so conditioned to pay ~$2.50 for a slice that I dont trust cheaper pizza.

At first I was wowed by this line, then I remembered how Chipotle and Jamba Juice routinely had lines out the door near lunch when I worked in Midtown. You should do a post that shows the longest lunchtime lines in MT.

I’m in that line frequently (2 slices and a can of soda for $3 is tough to beat) and that line in the picture is not very typical from my experience. Between noon and 1:00, the line usually has no more than a dozen people, or about a 5-10 minute wait. This month, there is actually a great deal to be had deal… I grab a $.99 cent Jerk Chicken patty at Golden Krust and then walk around the corner and eat my patty in line while waiting for my $.99 slice. Now that is some good value eating!
