Mars 2112: If you’re in search of your favorite Martian, you’ll probably have better luck locating alien life forms if you stick to above-ground Times Square rather than descending into Mars 2112. This theme restaurant had its “heyday” a few years ago and it seems that they’ve now ventured into the black hole of the mediocre NY dining scene. Martian fare and other intergalactic edibles are not really out of this world, though the Nebula Chili Nachos are decent. Kids and tourists may love the kitschy planetary exploration or the taciturn galaxy travelers in “scary” spandex costumes (check out the gift shop, maybe you can bring one home), but adults may need a shot of Astral Projection to survive the Red Planet. Perhaps that’s why this happy hour is one of the best in the city, with $2 beer and wine. |
