Going to Brick Lane is not just dinner. It’s a performance. You’re the audience, the touts are the opening act, and the curry is the headliner.
Bring cash. Some places charge card fees. Bring a friend who eats a lot. Bring a sense of humor.
So go. Get lost. Eat too much. Laugh at the chaos. Brick Lane doesn’t care about your diet. It only cares that you enjoy the ride.
And if you leave without a poppadom stain on your shirt? You didn’t do it right.
