Zerza 304 E. Sixth St (betw First and Second Ave). Lower East Side www.zerza.com

Being ignored after sitting for fifteen minutes at an empty bar should've been a sign. And yet my birthday celebrant friend and I gave this place a chance. Upon being seated, I sipped my tap water which tasted strangely salty. The dealbreaker came when my friend pointed out clear mucus on the rim of my glass. Not a single staff member said anything as we calmly walked out. This revolting experience was thankfully trumped by an excellent evening at Cafe Horus. Go there instead!!!!
