Not a particularly exciting Tuesday, all things being equal. I did finally grab lunch at the new place on the corner, 4food, even though the crowds have seemed pretty ridiculous, and I’ve read extremely mixed things about their food, service, and long waits. This week, though, their online ordering started working again, so I put in an order for a pickup. And, because I’d filled in a quick survey, about my eating and exercise habits and nothing too personal or revealing, I got $12 in points I could apply towards my $7 made-to-order burger. Which was surprisingly tasty. Their whole rationale and setup is still a little weird — and I’ll be very surprised if they really make a go of it as a midtown lunch spot — but it’s less than half a block away and not significantly more expensive than some of the other nearby options. From all the reviews, their opening weeks were plagued with trouble and disappointed customers, but my meal was interesting and tasty enough (free or not) that I’ll give them another shot.
All of this is only mildly more interesting than yesterday’s thrilling “we changed a light bulb in my office” story, but hey, not every day can be a thrill-a-minute, right?
