The vast majority of tiny takeout places in NYC will never have a line of people outside, and they rent those places because real estate is expensive, not because they’re trying to appear more popular than they are. And if you watch the staff behind the counter and in the kitchen of the truly popular ones with lines, they’re definitely NOT taking their time. The throughput of tiny NYC restaurants is impressive. Occam’s razor applies here, even if it’s less interesting.
