Bonfire is located at 404 6th Avenue. Website is http://www.bonfirechicken.com/.
I was told about this by someone at work. I literally have to go here for lunch all the time. Great portions, sides are excellent, lots of healthy choices on the menu.
Recommendations:
Lamb burger, Turkey burger, any size of the chicken, sweet potato fries.
Service - 1 (excellent, nice staff. They put your food in a to-go container, and walk it to your table!)
Price - 1 (I can usually get the 1/2 chicken and finish it in 2 settings, even without sides)
Ambience - 1 (relaxed atmosphere, ample space, TV's on, not too loud,)
Cleanliness - 1 (bathroom is clean, tables, counters, and floors all clean)
Excellence - 1 (food is impeccable, portions are amazing, all around great)
SCORE: 5 out of 5
Manhattan, say hello to your new favorite restaurant.

How I plan to use this blog
Sp the whole idea of this blog is this:
Many times when you read things that people write about being in or living in the city, they give you these suggestions or tell you where to go, not in any way concerned about your budget. It's all well and good if you just cleared out one of your Swiss bank accounts and you are going to spend your life's savings in one fell swoop, to not really worry about price.
Also, I am a really up front person, so the things that I want to know many times are:again:
Service - Were they pleasant, nice, rude? Did you wait 2 minutes or hours?
Price - Did you pay an arm and a leg, or is it higher priced, but worth the expenxe
Ambience - What type of crowd does the venue draw?
Cleanliness - Can you eat off of the ground in the place, or are the roaches beating you to that?
Excellence of product - How is the product (whatever it is that the venue does)?
It's easy to remember these factors, becasue you can see that they spell out the word space if you take only the first initial. Space is a commodoity in the city, and I feel that the best places in the city make you feel like you have left the hustle and bustle and that you are transported to a space all your own.
I'll give each factor either a 1 (they've got it) or 2 (they don't).
The best places will have a 5, obviously.
That's it. That is how I will arrange my blogs so that they can be of interest and of use to anyone.
Here we go to the first one.

Just some guy in the city - Introductory Blog
Ever since I started working in New York City, there are so many things that people just expect you to know, or that would be obvious, that I have had to learn from trial and error. Trial and error is expensive, and uncomfortable, and sometimes not the most fun thing in the world.
When you ask most people for information in this city, you get that kinda aloof 'oh-you-must-be-from-out-of-town' attitude. I am always still getting lost, learning new things, trying to survive, and having fun doing it. So I decided to share this journey, and maybe I'll help some people along the way. So here is the introduction of my new blog - Just Some Guy in the City.
