Aramis had to jet after the first half due to obligations. And lucky for him.
His go-to Italian / Pasta joint totally let us down tonight.
Both destinations are not recommended, but Borough really topped the cake. A total train-wreck.
First of all, Borough (which is a Chodorow establishment) is terribly managed and the service is something of a nightmare. I got attitude for wanting a table even though the place was 80% vacant.
The location is formerly Caviar and Bananas and before that, the highly publicized eatery, Rocco.
I'm convinced, anything Chodorow will suck and totally leave you feeling robbed of your money.

Then there was Bar Stuzzichini. We started the meal strong. A great bottle of red from Puglia, and a myriad of tapas like dishes for the table to share. The mood changed drastically when the entrees came out. Everyone at our table was quite disappointed with their entree.
This is unfortunate because the apps were actually quite good.

Maximis here, Yes this was a total let down. What was left out of the review was the service @ Bar Stuzzichini.
I had ordered and expresso with a side of lemon rind. When the expresso came out, it didn't have any. A friend had also ordered some for their expresso and I had asked him to pass it over. Before he could react, our waiter takes the lemon rind from his plate and placed it on mine. All while saying to us, "Sharing is caring.".
I am sorry but I am not sharing any germs with that guy!!!
In general when sharing a meal with friends you pass the plate over to the other person not use your hands on the food. Although, when I think about it, when dining with friends it may not be such a horrible thing, but this was our WAITER!!!!
This is definitely a SERVICE failure that will be forever remembered vividly in my mind. This instance had to violate a New York Food Service Law of some sort.
Sorry fellas. The only dishes I ever had was the stuzzichini (small plates) and the pasta. Never had the entrees. Service sounded completely ridiculous...garbage.
