30% off the New Buk (Boo-K) Balkan Bistro
On my walk back to the office from lunch last week I noticed Buk, a new Balkan restaurant on 55th Street. Their menu is solidly on the pricier side of the ML scale, only the flatbread sandwiches and salads were $10 or under–and in my book you better make a damn good sandwich if you are going to charge $10. But I did see their window advertised a 30% off “your next fine dining experience at Buk” and they had a table top sign outside promoting $2.50 pizza slices. As luncher “high temp” reports in the forums, the early “reviews” on urbanspoon are of dubious authorship. Any reactions from early adopters?

Other than sujuk, a raki glaze, and indiscriminate use of feta cheese I have trouble seeing what’s so “Balkan” about his place. Perhaps because it will fall apart in dramatic fashion, or will soon default? Who knows.
