T.G.I...WTF?

I had heard that T.G.I. Friday's had opened in the old Zen Palate space in Union Square, but frankly, dimissed it as ridiculous.  Well friends, it's true.  Times Square II: The Revenge. 
In other more promising news, Chock full o'Nuts is opening on 23rd St. in that old diner space between 5th & 6th Ave. - a little throwback action to the old Times Square (some of us) all remember fondly.
