Jury Duty: Good Lunch Spots?
design.lust See my TER Reviews 564 reads

Hello All,

I've been asked to serve (Manhattan) ... it's a two-week stint (just the selection process, as far as I know.)  I was kicked off one jury already....

As my message title states, I'd like suggestions for good lunch spots.  We get roughly an hour.

And to keep things in a sexual realm as per TER guidelines... if I see someone hot in the jury consolidation room, I'd totally blow him/her in the bathroom.

Cheap, fast, super tasty - Prosperity Dumpling at #46 Eldridge St.  1 hr is time to walk over, get dumplings, walk back and sit in park while eating. :-)

Unfortunately, there are no restaurants of design.lust caliber right around the courts. You have to work your way west, where there are many (The Odeon, Roc, Gigino's, City Hall and lots more).

These days only dummies stay on a jury panel.

Congratuations, you have just simultaneously insulted a wonderful and thoughtful young lady, and one of foundations of the freedoms we all enjoy, all in one short, stupid and thoughtless post.   I have no interest in repeating a civics lesson, which has been provided to you in several other well reasoned posts to this thread.  I will say that your attitude represents much of what is wrong with our times: lack of civility, lack of thought, and lack of civic responsibilty.

If everyone takes your attitude, then yes, only dummies serve on juries and what kind of justice is that? How would you feel -- especially if you were innocent -- if your fate depended on a jury of idiots? Although I can see where that would be okay with you, Simple -- a jury of your peers.

By serving, Design Lust is doing what the finest things a citizen can do and I'm proud of her. And if I can arrange to be in the same jury room, I'd be a fool not to accept her gracious offer!

Look at the verdicts in the OJ Simpson case and Casey Anthony case. Both guilty as sin, and both acquitted by imbeciles. Call me cynical.

I suppose your handle fits your intellect. If you knew anything about law and civil procedure, you would understand that in both the OJ and Anthony cases, the jury had to follow the rules that are part of procedural and substantive due process. In case that part of the Constitution escaped your close reading, procedural due process is contained in the string of Amendments, 4-8. Those applied to all federal cases until 1868, when the 14th Amendment included them against state action as well. The 14th also created a complex understanding of vested rights, now part of substantive due process protections.  So, OJ and Anthony could be totally guilty, but they have rights in court, and in neither case was the jury convinced, on the weight of the evidence. That does not mean they were "imbeciles." May be the prosecutors were.

Here are a few:

Great New York Noodletown
Bowery & Bayard (one block south of Canal)
Order the salt baked shrimp, any of the noodle soups, the bass chunks with flowering chives, the shrimp dumpling soup, the roast baby pig or the roast duck. Cheap and very good. Ironically, except for the soups, I'd avoid the noodle dishes.

Dim Sum Go Go
Cross to the East side of Chatham Square
Great Dim Sum all day long. You order from a menu, not the carts. I recommend the duck dumplings, the mango and chicken dumplings, the rice noodles with shrimp, sticky rice and most of the vegie dumplings.

Oriental Garden
Elizabeth Street between Canal and Bayard (the restaurant with all the fish tanks in the window)
There's a small-sized menu on each table listing Dim Sum options, but at the back is a great lunch special. The kitchen here is particularly good.

Ping's
Mott Street between Bowery/Worth and Pell Streets.
Some of the best seafood in Chinatown.

Nyonya
Grand Street between Mott and Mulberry.
Good Malaysian joint. Order the chicken Roti Canai (sp?), chicken coconut curry served with a pancake on the side. Excellent.

Hope that helps!
