The Scene

Basically a storefront with standing room only. But as every bustling street cart proves daily, New Yorkers--particularly Times Square's street-savvy weekday crowd--know where the line is worthwhile.

The Food

Pass up the obligatory soup and chicken Caesar salad--you're here for the fries, and fries you shall have. B's versions are about the size of a diet carrot stick, golden and crisp on the outside, smooth and earthy on the inside. Top with onion salt or one of 14 mayonnaise- or ketchup-based sauces, such as the kicky parmesan version with red, green and black pepper. Smoothies are also available, as if counteracting the oily main course. For dessert, try a sticky, steaming Belgian waffle--like a cross between French toast and a donut.
