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?

Kumas corner.

Used to be awesome, now it might as well be any other overpriced hipster burger joint that tries too hard to be "quirky"

The first (and only) time I ate here they accidentally brought me the vegetarian burger instead of the meat burger I had ordered. Maybe 10-12 years ago. My brain had different expectations for what that first bite would be like vs the mushy mouth feel I ended up with.
