"Come For: A nice, long stare into the abyss. When you have a moment, please check in on the Times Square Applebee’s. It doesn’t seem to be doing too hot. And that’s really a shame, because the idea of Applebee’s has so much potential. In a city where cocktails often cost $20 a pop, the ones here feel like bargains, especially given their fishbowl-like portions. (Even the so-called Top-Shelf Long Island Iced Tea only will only set you back around $14.) The food is another matter, but let’s not talk about that. Instead, let’s all band together and help this place fix up its carpets, clean its windows, and get those weird gas tanks away from the stairwell." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, ciera velarde
