by Polina P. on I really loved the atmosphere at this place. Dark and swanky with a DJ playing original mixes in a balcony like area. We had a group of about 9 people and were seated fairly quickly for a Friday night. My bf and I ordered chicken satay and the spicy tuna tartare. Frankly I don't even remember eating because the food was gone so fast. The only thing that remained was the peanut sauce from the chicken satay. I didn't let that go to waste either. I used my chop sticks to savory that as well. I would love to come back to this place for a full dinner on my next trip to New York.
by matt s. on One star is one too many. This place came highly recommended by two friends of mine from NYC. I was excited to give it a try, however, when I approached, I was repelled by a sign reading: "We honor his memory. Officer Daniel Faulkner - Murdered by Mumia Abu-Jamal - December 9, 1981" I am sure that anyone who is familiar with the subject would be equally disgusted. To the owners of Geno's: I hope your establishment burns to the ground for your continued support of the incarceration of an innocent man. If you truly cared about the late Mr. Faulkner, you would lend this same level of support to a full inquiry into the actual circumstances surrounding his death, as opposed to blindly endorsing the findings of what are widely regarded as the most corrupt police force and district attorney's office in the United States. Go stick one of your famous cheesesteaks up your old-school, northeast white-flight style, racist asses. To the patrons of Geno's: If you have a conscience, you should educate yourself as to the circumstances surrounding the incarceration of former Black Panther leader Mumia Abu-Jamal and join me in a boycott of this total shit hole, until such time as this ignorant piece of signage is removed. Free Mumia! Fuck Geno's! Eat at Pat's!
