This is about as ridiculous as the people criticizing any attempt to make housing affordable because it hurts people who treated a house as an investment.

They'd be assholes too if their unscheduled, unpermitted parade blocked a major highway.

I appreciate this - both your research and what they're doing. There probably isn't a better time since during the week a lot of people wfh.

>I can throw a rock in any direction in Manhattan (especially lower and upper manhattan) and find quality restaurants that are priced well below 20 dollars. Why is 20 unreasonable? Costs here are certainly lower than Manhattan so what’s with the upcharging here?
Because the places that have the absolute rock bottom prices for food, fast food, are still charging something close to $10 for a meal. Real restaurants pay considerably more for food and put more effort into it. That's why you only find cheap food at places that can apply economy of scale.
>Why don’t most people at mcwhorters order the pork chops then? Why do they grill whole chickens endlessly all day?
Because that's what they like and what's cheap? Do you know what a chicken shack is? It's not a place that happens to sell a lot of chicken.
>You asked me what I consider to be not overpriced, I’m not moving the goal posts I’m just pointing out the exception here certainly proves the rule.
No, you asked for me places. I provided places. You then bitched about there only being provided four during a workday when you never mentioned a number.

>Sabor unido has barely anything sub 20 dollars on their menu
Because less than $20 is not a great price point and you know it.
>And blueprint is a bit of a bridge between a burger place and more varied restaurant.
The vegan friendly place with brunch is a bit of a bridge?
>Most people who go to mcwhorter get the chicken that’s why they cook them en masse on the racks.
Order the pork chops, which so many chicken shacks have. Hint: chicken shacks pretty much only serve chicken.
>Also four restaurants in a giant area full of restaurants is not the ringing endorsement you seem to think it is
Not only are you moving the goalposts, you got a couple of answers for a specific price point during the workday. What do you expect, a memorized list? Get a grip.

Blueprint isn't either. Neither is Sabor Unido. McWhorter has one chicken item on it's menu.
Sorry bud.

I think Casa d'Paco crushes Seabra's Masquiera and I've never considered Adega's food as particularly noteworthy.

3-4 years ago a lot of places were considerably cheaper, but Adega/Iberia/etc were always pricier and lower quality.

You're going to Adega and complaining the food is overpriced. Have you tried I don't know, anywhere thst isn't super overpriced?
