New York's Timeless Omurice Cafรฉ | Hi Collar (1)๐
Hi-Collar This Japanese cafรฉ is a classic New York vintage hotspot. ๐ต Last year, it moved to a new location with a much larger interior. ๐ The old shop was tiny, with just a counter and a dozen seats. ๐ฅข From 11 a.m., there was always a line outside. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Now, with more space, you'd think the wait would be shorter, but due to a shortage of staff, there's still a queue. ๐ถโโ๏ธ I arrived at 2 p.m. on a Saturday and waited for about half an hour outside. โณ To me, that's acceptable, but what happened after seating left me speechless. ๐ If you just want omurice, there are better places than this. ๐ณ ๐ You need to order at the door before being seated. ๐ When it was my turn, I confidently listed my three pre-decided dishes to the waiter. ๐ I then took a seat at the counter. ๐ Inside the counter, the owner's wife handles the drinks and coffee. ๐ As a food blogger, I couldn't miss the chance to snap some photos. ๐ I spent ages photographing her making a siphon coffee, thinking each time that it would be mine. ๐ But she served it to someone else! #NYCExploration #NYCFoodie ๐๐
