Fanelli’s Checkered Tablecloths and Twisted Logic

This just in from buybacker “Orso”: SoHo’s diamond in the rough (and by “rough” I mean finely-polished pool of good-looking, affluent other, more expensive diamonds – we’re talking about SoHo here) Fanelli’s Café is still dishing it out old school. Orso braved Hurricane Bloomberg this past Saturday and discovered a bit of a scatterbrained buyback policy in which you buy the first round for your group at full price and get the next round at a significant discount (in this case it was buy one round of 3 drinks, then order another 3, but only pay for 2).

Get it? For those still lost, here is a construct in mathematics and philosophy recently invented by me called an “if-then statement©”, to break it down for you:

IF round 1 = (beer + beer + beer) = $15 + tip ($3)

…THEN, round 2 = (beer + beer + beer) = about $10

Also, their hamburgers are pretty ok
