Where is it?

Contributor at Citysearch

The Bamn no longer exists. I went to the address and was met with a clothing store. I called the number, no one answered. It's extremely annoying to look forward to going someplace and realize its no longer there, despite claims on reviews and their website which is still claiming it's open. If I was mistaken, then my apologies. But, I was in front of where Bamn is supposedly located and there was nothing

So much fun with fried foods

by bethbeth at Citysearch

Maybe I was drunk, but just getting the food was fun. First you have get enough change, then you choose what you want. But the portions are so tiny you end up trying everything for fun. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back there again. It was just convenient at the time. If you happen to be near it, stop by.

• Pros: lighting, location, the whole process of getting food from a vending machine
• Cons: no place to sit, but that is the point

Okay, but not worth the hype.

I read the reviews here and thought I had to check it out. Even though everyone had said it, I didn't realize how tiny it was until I got there. There's not much room to stand, but the neon decor is really cute. The food in the vending machines look pretty old, and there wasn't much left. So, my boyfriend and I order two burgers and a large cone of fries from the counter. The burgers were tiny and pretty bland tasting, but the fries were really good. They aren't really fries, but more like crispy, seasoned ends. The large order comes with two dipping sauces. We ordered cheddar cheese and marinara sauce and they were pretty bland. All in all, I would only recommend the fries. Its open late, which is good. The guy behind us ordered a snow cone for $2.50 and the cup was huge. They had good flavors to choose from like pink lemonade and passion fruit. The mozzarella sticks were 2.00 for three, so you can decide the value. But I heard that they just recently increased the prices so I'm not sure.

• Pros: fries, nostalgic setting, shaved ice, soft serve ice cream, convenience
• Cons: food is pretty bland, no standing room, prices are questionable

Awesome grilled cheese

by kb21 at Citysearch

Remember: there are no seats, its take out! Definitely a good spot for takeout though, just grab the food and walk along awesome St. Marks Pl. I am a vegetarian and the only thing I've tried is the grilled cheese, made on grilled bread, I think it was like $2 and very yummy. They have a lot of choices and its a very cool experience (its like a vending machine) If you're on the go, stop by and grab something.
