Which Max Brenner is Better?

If convenience wasn't an issue, and it was your (my!) birthday, which Max Brenner location would you choose and why–Union Square or 2nd Ave.?

(Don't you love how beauty pageant-esque this question sounds?)

    NEITHER! The place is HIDEOUS and the chocolate is awful.

      Union Square is a mob scene, I would go to the 2nd Avenue one.

        If it were my birthday, would go to J Torres

          I agree with deluca! It's like oh say, loving Pizza Hut instead of great NY pizza!

            You know what's awesome? I totally do love Pizza Hut more than any NY pizza I've had.

            I need savory foods, too! And an overwrought touristy feel to the place, of course.
