If You’re Staying in NYC This Weekend…

Nestled down on old MacDougal:

An old cafe not for the frugal.

Its leather booths are sure to please!

But burgers come without the cheese.

A scathing glance, an icy tone:

“The chef suggests it on its own.”

This burger costs ya thirty bucks:

Your screaming wallet self-destructs.

But still you crave that tempting treat:

Corner Bistro, you can’t compete.
