New York's Timeless Omurice Café | Hi Collar (1)🌟

Hi-Collar This Japanese café is a classic New York vintage hotspot. 🍵 Last year, it moved to a new location with a much larger interior. 🏠 The old shop was tiny, with just a counter and a dozen seats. 🥢 From 11 a.m., there was always a line outside. 🕵️‍♂️ Now, with more space, you'd think the wait would be shorter, but due to a shortage of staff, there's still a queue. 🚶‍♂️ I arrived at 2 p.m. on a Saturday and waited for about half an hour outside. ⏳ To me, that's acceptable, but what happened after seating left me speechless. 😖 If you just want omurice, there are better places than this. 🍳 📝 You need to order at the door before being seated. 📝 When it was my turn, I confidently listed my three pre-decided dishes to the waiter. 📝 I then took a seat at the counter. 📝 Inside the counter, the owner's wife handles the drinks and coffee. 📝 As a food blogger, I couldn't miss the chance to snap some photos. 📝 I spent ages photographing her making a siphon coffee, thinking each time that it would be mine. 📝 But she served it to someone else! #NYCExploration #NYCFoodie 🌆🌟
