"There’s exciting, then there’s mildly intriguing, then there are about a dozen levels of mundane, and then there’s going to a counter-service spot for grain bowls every day for lunch. That is, unless the grain bowl spot is Berber Street Food, a pan-African spot in the West Village. Then you could eat completely different things every day of the week, rotating rice choices between turmeric, djolof stir-fried, and daily specials, while topping them with things like jerk chicken, vegetable coconut curry, or spicy tomato sauce with jackfruit." - Matt Tervooren
