Being a brit in NYC I was happy to hear that chip shop was opening, alas A Salt and Battery did not live up to my hopes. The chips were terrible, I had a saveloy that was deep fried (??), and it was just generally bad. Its also a little pricey for some fried potatos. (Note to anyone non-English who has this as their first chip shop experience, a portion of chips in the Uk typically costs around $2, and you get more then what you get here)
I understand that 'Englishness' is seen as a novel thing here, but lets not exploit that by having a very poor excuse for a fine British tradition. .
Cons: bad food, expensive
