When we first saw that White Castle was having a special Valentine's Day at their locations, Gothamist hoped that someone would go. Thankfully, we have some friends that decided to (our better half hates White Castle). As promised, there were tablecloths, candles, and a host. As a bonus, diners wWe're told that the manager/greeter at the Metropolitan Ave White Castle even spoke French. White Castle? Nay, Le Chateau Blanc. There was even a crystal-like swan to hole some "after-dinner" candy. All that on top of some tasty and cheap burgers. You better believe that we're kicking ourselves for not going ourselves yesterday.
