Food Exchange (309 Madison Ave, NY, NY) is a typical worker bee/dumb tourist joyless food machine kind of place in Midtown. On a Sunday killing time before seeing a movie at MoMA, I saw the street in front of their place FULL OF BIG BAGS of perfectly good food, including these pristine salads (that cost 8 bucks a shot). Disgraceful. There's homeless people all over NYC, families barely making ends meet, kids who've never had a good salad in their life, and hundreds of dollars worth of perfectly edible food is out on the street as garbage.
I'm no dumpster diver crusty punk rat type, but I took a salad home, and it was fine.
F*ck Food Exchange, and restaurant culture in general. Make food at home--you'll eat better and save money.
