Critical Assessments
“Old Fryer occupies a modest address in Upper West Side. The fries are, in contrast, not modest. The shoestring format is executed in peanut, single-fried to a finish that is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The portion is restrained. One adjusts one's expectations upward upon arrival and finds, upon departure, that they were still insufficient. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Old Fryer, one appreciates.”
