The Meatball Shop

     
  

     On Saturday me and my family and  Uncle Looch with Henry and Charlie went to The Meatball Shop.  The shop is on 1462 Second Ave. and there still are 3 more meatball shops.  The Meatball Shop is open at 11:30 in the morning.


     The inside walls had old pictures of people in black and white.  On the other wall is a bar and a take out counter.  There are subway tiles on the bar.  There are old meat grinder as coat hangers and door handles.  The music is usually on.  The music was old fashioned, like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.  The bathrooms were dark and lit with candles, which I thought was a little scary and creepy.


     The restaurant has a unique way to order.  You check off the meatball you want and the sauce.  The meatballs are listed vertically and the sauces are listed horizontally.  You can also check off your sides.  There are 5 balls to get.  There is spicy pork, chicken ball, veggie ball, classic beef and the daily ball.  I got a beef meatball slider with tomato sauce. For sides I got mash potatoes and rigatoni.  My dad got the daily ball which was breakfast sausage with Parmesan sauce.  My mom got spicy pork with with mushroom gravy.  I thought all of the meatballs were all delicious.  The sides were also very delicious.  I was forced to share with my sister.
