54

54th Street, another one of those corporate bar and grill types with some "local" memorabilia nailed down to every square inch of the walls not taken over by some obnoxious television. A little less than charming as far as atmosphere, but my real beef with this place is the menu. A novel of typical American bar cuisine that is sure to frustrate and confuse anyone who embarks upon the daunting task of deciding on dinner options. The restaurants most popular item is "gringo dip", a politically incorrect stomach ache that is an obnoxiously creamy white nacho cheese dip. Outside of all that, the food itself is not all that terrible, and some of the options may actually surprise you. For example, I got a gyro last time I went, and somehow it was actually fairly satisfying considering the specialty of the menu seems to be more along the lines of a tex mex. Either way,  If you have the patience to read a food novel, and you have a love for all things cheese dip, 54th may be the best corporate chain you've never tried.
