The Perfect Dining Room

“Not every establishment in Greenpoint understands its own fry. The Perfect Dining Room understands its fry. The crinkle format, triple-fried in lard, produces a crispness that is commendable and largely sustained and an interior that is earnest and specific. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Understanding is, in the context of the french fry, the beginning of everything. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”
