We do what the Internet tells us to do

beetigerWhen I discovered that the boring, passive-aggressive meeting I had to go to in NYC (and was dragging the good-natured lediva to in promise of awesome date action before and after) was only a few blocks from one of the branches of the Korean chicken joint featured in this Slashfood post, I knew that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lediva would take the bait if I suggested that we get a Col-Pop after the meeting. We peeked into the window of the place on the way to the meeting, and the cute girl working there mouthed to us "I love your hats!" (We were wearing our black kitty and tiger hats, respectively, and actually attracted a few other comments as we walked around the city as well.)
When we actually walked into the place a few hours later, the same girl (whose name turned out to be Piper) said "You came back!" and seated us. We had thought it was a fast food place, and I guess it was, but it had sit down tables and menus, and mood lighting, and karaoke on Thursday nights (or Fridays by request of enough people at once), and it served beer, and oh, did I mention how very cute the waitress was? Piper laughed when we said the Internet sent us. Apparently they pretty much never sold the Col-Pop at all before the Slashfood article, but people had been coming in all weekend looking for it.
The place smelled good -- the olive oil frying really did make a difference in the aroma of frying chicken. We enjoyed the Col-Pop, though it was a pretty silly thing to eat sitting at a table, and the nuggets were a bit spongy but obviously freshly and cleanly fried. It probably would be very convenient for a walking snack through Chelsea. We laughed about what dorks we were, and Piper promised us that the rest of their food was really much better and we should come back and sing karaoke.
This is me, drinking diet coke through my chicken. I don't know if they'd put beer in there, but I also am not sure if I'd drink beer with a straw. Maybe if the Internet told me to.
