The Classic Crisp

“The menu at The Classic Crisp contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The shoestring fry is single-fried in vegetable. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The portion is reasonable. The informed visitor is correct. One returns.”

“On a Tuesday evening in Washington Heights, one discovers that The Classic Crisp has opinions about potatoes. The shoestring format is a declaration. The single-fried exterior is aspirational. The interior communicates the potato's agricultural origins — earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. These opinions are, on balance, correct. The fry alone merits the journey to Washington Heights.”
