Tartine is an extremely casual French bistro in the Village that makes a mean Croque Madame (the one with egg).

The décor is simple, the napkins are paper and the prices are a bit too high for how casual it is.

Oh, and it’s CASH ONLY.

Cheapskates.

If your business is hocking inexpensive crap, I’m all for cash only. Why pay all those credit card fees for a $3 buck item.

My sandwich was $17 dollars. I’m sorry, but you can’t charge that much money and not take my damn credit card. That’s just tacky. Or, as the French say, “Vulgaire”.

Also, since I’M cheap, I didn’t have any cash on me so my friend had to pay, which was embarrassing. Thanks Tartine, for the humiliation.

Thankfully, your Croque Madame was so good, I was too busy worrying about my cholesterol to stay mad.

Thanks…I guess?
