Eater Match Game: Link the Nutty Reviews to the New Restaurants

For a little Wednesday fun we present Eater Match Game. Match the correct wacky comment from all the usual sources—Yelp, Menupages, Citysearch, blog comment sections—with the correct new restaurant. The prize? You get to be slightly less productive at work for 5 minutes.

Today's Restaurants: A: Totally Baked, B: Ippudo, C: Antik, D: Artichoke, E: City Burger, and F: Broadway East.

And your reviews:
1) "The wait was agonizing. The service was less than personal. The fries were milquetoast."

2) "This place sucks, definitely not hipster or cool. The people are whack, service is horrible, and models?? Who are they kidding? Obviously they are writing their own good comments on here."

3) "...for me it's sort of a one-note wonder. I'll be back to try the two other...types...I would have liked to have had at least some options for toppings...just wish I had the option of adding some additional flavor in there. One's mileage, obviously, varies. Some like their burgers plain, others like toppings, right? :-)"

1) Tribeca: As you're well aware by now, Robert DeNiro’s Ago is set to open this week at the new Greenwich Hotel. NYMag has some of the initial deets on the place: “The most striking features of the wood-beamed, terra-cotta-tiled design are the stone fireplace and the ceiling installation of an alleged 90,000 wine-bottle corks, and the menu features Sciandri’s signature pizzas and bistecca alla fiorentina, both cooked in the wood-burning oven. Pastas are a given."; Status: Friends and family tonight, open to the public tomorrow. 377 Greenwich Street; 212-925-3797. [NYM]

2) Tribeca: Meanwhile, down Greenwich Street a bit, NYMag has it (and a photo sent in by a tipster confirms) that new Japanese “two-in-one” restaurant Greenwich Grill will be opening April 4th. Some background on the place: “While Greenwich Grill proper inhabits the first floor, Sushi Azabu, a bamboo-ceilinged, rice-paper-walled sushi bar, is located in the basement...both showcase the company’s signature Japanese-accented compendium of Italian, French, and Californian cuisines” Status: Not open. Opening April 4th. 428 Greenwich Street; 212-274-0428. [NYM]
