• Not a lot of bang for your buck

My boyfriend and I were in NYC for the weekend and decided to try By Chloe because it was only a few blocks from our hotel and it was open early enough for us to get a meal before an afternoon event at Madison Square Garden. I had high hopes going in, but they were sadly dashed. While the place is bright and friendly, with ample seating, the food is overpriced, even for NYC. I mean, $12 for a seitan sandwich that comes with no sides is a bit much, even if it was tasty. And $4.25 for a pile of "air-baked" fries that were soft and almost soggy is ridiculous. I've had air-baked fries before, and they're pretty good. My boyfriend got one of the breakfast platters and enjoyed it, but the food seemed crammed in the to-go container, and the portions seemed small. Furthermore, if I'm paying that much for food, you can have someone run it to the table instead of me having to wait at the counter, where a bunch of people are trying to order their food. As another reviewer points out, it really is (overpriced) vegan fast food.
