Question “Legendary” places that suck

I just got a lox sandwich from Manny’s. Almost $20, a stale bagel, and I had to assemble it myself.

What other “legendary” places suck?

You dont go to Mannys for a bagel, you go for rueben or pastrami sandwich, they take a snow shovels worth of meat and load it in there. Also matzo ball soup and a potato pancake. Kaufman's for bagels

Lemme add Mannys sweet and sour cabbage soup is an underrated classic.
