There are a number of cupcake/dessert/donut places and yet Dun-Well Donuts on St Marks seems to be working as they have excellent vegan donuts. Or who could have predicted that Xian Famous Foods would take off as it did in a neighborhood that has its fair share of Chinese/Asian eateries? But it did. All depends on the product, the management, and the staff they hire. Some places with great food have absolutely been torpedoed by the staff which they hired. Or the food was not that great. Or management had its head up their respective butts. <br />Best case scenario, it is a hit! Worse case a learning opportunity!<br /><br />Just curious as there are empty storefronts, what do you think would be a good idea to open?<br /><br />On 120 Saint Marks Place next to Prince Spa supposedly they will be opening a marshmallow place.

The hype from their website or facebook page is filled with airy sentences about how special they will be. In reality as people have already noted they are not that special and don't appear to fill a void in the EV.
