Today Fork in the Road caught wind of a new restaurant opening in NYU territory, called, charmingly, "Sigma Burger Pi." Get it? Like a fraternity! Because those are so popular at NYU! They're promising "a fraternal order of food," whatever that means.
Anyhow, it's early on—the restaurant is still under construction on West 3rd St, claiming to be "the NYU chapter" (though, as the Voice points out, there don't appear to be any other chapters), and, if their trademark is any indication, SMP will be doling out what appears to be fries, burgers and pizza. All of which are well and good as food items, but why in the name of not wearing sweatpants to class would you open a frat-themed restaurant in New York City? Take that business over to Rutgers, please.
Naturally, this got us thinking about some other potential frat-inspired restaurants that we'd prefer to not see:
- Popped Collar Bar-Brah-Que: Serving the finest in fist-bumps and asshattery.
- The Lost Flip-Flop: Where flip-flops aren't the only thing you'll lose.
- Roofies To Go: For your quick fix!
- Beer Pong Table: Fortunately, there are SLA laws preventing this from actually happening.
- Best Of Bob Marley Karaoke Bar: Where you can drunkenly sing along with Redemption Song without shame.
- Superdive: Oh wait, this did actually happen. And it didn't work out so well.
