The Corner Bistro is one of the most famous burger joints in NYC and is commonly associated with the best burgers in town. It's also located in the West Village, one of the gayest neighborhoods in New York (and therefore one of the gayest neighborhoods in the world), so the following account (click here to read it) about a supposed gay bashing is a bit hard for this writer to swallow. Allegedly the writer and his boyfriend were 'victims' of an angry waiter, dismissive cops and a pissed off manager, all of which makes their story seem even more unlikely.
While the waiter (busboy, whatever) in questions behaviour is not excusable, I wonder what the writer's boyfriend did that may have instigated the arguement (you can almost tell by the way it is written that there is something being left out). It's a super busy bar/eatery so frequently you have to wait in a long line (no reservations allowed). And the fact that ONLY the boyfriend sat down and refused to move indicates that there is something else going on here that writer isn't telling us that probably prompted the reaction. It definitely sounds like the people overreacted but I've had to hold myself back from decking a few bitchy, impatient queens myself. I'm filing this report under "V for Vendetta"

Where is the story?
oh, never mind, just saw where to get it.
It is hard to believe, especially that the waiter would put his hand on someone just for not getting out of a seat, but I wasn't there. Seems the police would have pursued this if there was an assault.
