A Plea For The Sri Lankan Cafe Niagara
Back in August Jeremiah posted about Cafe Niagara, the super unique Sri Lankan joint that took over Las Poblanitas (on 38th btw. 8+9th). Sadly nobody seems to be going, and Lunch’er DC is afraid they are going to close. From the forums:
Cafe Niagara is good. Good enough that I could go once a week. It’s cheap. It’s spicy. Great. Problem is I’ve been going twice a week, because it seems like it’s going to go out of business. No one’s ever in there. I took a coworker there today, and while he liked the food he said the place looked weird, like a sleeper cell/hotbed of food poisoning. Thing is, it DOES look weird. I can understand why someone wouldn’t go in. But the food is good. I haven’t felt ill once. But I don’t want to go twice a week. The best part about it is that it’s different. When you eat it twice a week different becomes the same.
Will you answer DC’s call? Sure, the weather sucks but if we don’t support little places like this on the outskirts of Midtown, who will? Don’t let this place become another Barros Luco…

“Jerry thinks: Very kind. I am a kind man. Who else would do something like this? Nobody. Nobody thinks about people like I do. All right, snap out of it you stupid jerk. You’re eating a turkey sandwich. What do want, a nobel price? “

Jerry: “He’s serving Mexican ,Italian, Chinese. He’s all over the place. That’s why no one is going in.”

I do not think, “it is good and I have not felt ill once” is much of a selling point

If you abide by the mantra of “adventures in urban lunching,” then Cafe Niagara deserves your business:

That’s a thought for the entire readership, mike3183, but you might like it, too.
Wasn’t this a Seinfeld episode?
