Telway 2.jpg

lthe most amazing little burger joint ever. the whole place is about as big as my brooklyn kitchen (i.e. not big). the youngest person at the counter was probably 65. one guy kept winking exaggeratedly and making flirty faces at all the women lined up for takeout.

there is a special takeout area where you order at one window and pick it up at the adjacent window from one of the elderly waitresses who have matching dyed black hair.

you can get a bag of burgers (4) for $2. Everything else there is like $1.15 except the fries which are 65 cents. I ordered lunch for eight people and it was like $12. Also when people were ordering, they were saying all kinds of things that are not on the menu, like "Let me get three double-doubles and a triple and a neighborhood." WTF?! I was too shy to get a tutorial unfortunately but I'm sure my newbieness was obvious when I got up there and ordered stuff that was actually listed on the menu. Viva la Telway forever.

Also everything in there is the same as it was when it opened in like 1952. I love that!
