  After an already awful experience at the connected Aloft hotel, and while sitting down at he bar I was snubbed by the bar man - "what do you want?". Well, I wanted to have a quick bite. The selection on the menu was already pretty poor, but I actually starting laughing when I got my order of chicken egg rolls (which took >30 minutes to make, with hardly anyone around). Listed under "big dishes" for $11 you get 6 tiny pieces - served on cardboard, and (no joke) parts of it were raw where other parts were burning hot - a sign of having been cooked at way too high temperature. The drinks menu is no better. Very little choice, and nothing below $10 - and this in Harlem. What a joke. You might think that as you are in NYC you don't care about all this because it's all about the location. Well, think again. This neighborhood is dark, unfriendly, smelling of marijuana, and as someone who has seen a lot of the world, trust me: stay away. People stare at you on the street after dark, and there are beggars everywhere.
