“Great sea urchin ceviche”
devotee ofAmerican Psychowill of course recognize Dorsia as the radical - exclusive stamping ground of Patrick Bateman . And while some of the locations visit in the motion-picture show are veridical ( check outthis blog’sslightly NSFW tour of Patrick Bateman ’s New York ) , Dorsia is not . The intact Yelp Sir Frederick Handley Page ( which lists Dorsia as closed ) is full of references to the flick and inside jokes about how hard it is to get a reservation . Some of the lower - rated review even touch on the fact that " nobody goes here anymore " and recommendTexarkana , another fake restaurant from the movie with a very real Yelp visibility .
“The line for the Lazy River was crazy packed”

“Ah! New York’s little ‘vacation’ spot!”
Several of New York ’s jailhouse have garnered rather positivistic reviews on Yelp . Rikers Islandhas 3.5 stars , Sing Singgets a perfect 5 star ( granted , with only one critique ) , butManhattan Central Bookingonly gets 2 . In a glowing Rikers Island limited review , one commenter praises the food as " fusion , with various smell of American , French but mostly Jamaican food . " Another calls it a " ' vacation ' spot . "
Unlike other jokey Yelp page , these critique are in reality real , albeit less than serious . One reviewer of Central Booking narrate theNew York Postthat she wrote the review after spending a night for a bar fight . " It was unwritten and it gave me a laughter at the time , " said Davisha Badone , who criticized the facility as " unfun " because " junkies in pulling out do not make great conversation . "
The trend has started to spread out to jailhouse in Austin , San Francisco and Indiana . San Quentin has even crossed over to FourSquare .
“The commercials are creepy”
