Restaurant Groups are ruining the ability for individuals to own. They have the money to muscle individuals out if they want the space, despite what the actual community wants. Don't give them your money to use against you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-34081480602913190952016-02-20T16:42:37.763-05:002016-02-20T16:42:37.763-05:00Goddammit!!

They were always so nice to me while I waited for my pie. I hope you open in another location. I'll be there for your pepperoni pizza. It seems to me that the Late Late's pushy interest has helped to get rid of Nino's. I will not be patronizing them.

Especially, for restaurant and bar owners in the city struggling to stay afloat. I can't even imagine trying to pay rent in a neighborhood like the EV, where the rent and competition is fiercely high. Unless I was independently wealthy and could afford to lose when and if my business tanked, I'd walk away and call it a day. But many who have poured their blood, sweat, tears, and every last dime are left with nothing and simply can't walk away without feeling a punch to the gut. That is why I wouldn't do it. In the six years since I've relocated here, I've witnessed more closures since 2010 than since my arrival to NY in 2000. That is a staggering fact. While NIno's wasn't the best pizza in town, it wasn't the worst. It was a nice respite from other venues. There has to be a more effective tool or law in place that can allow businesses to grow without being obsolete a year or two after.

It will be sent every month and show who is trying to get a license where, amongst other things. Then come and speak at the meeting or send a letter. The meetings are long, but they are only once a month and if the room is packed with residents in opposition the CB will listen. We have seen it happen many times. Please don't be complacent and think that the ruin of our neighborhood is inevitable, because it is not. The link to the CB web-site is below. There is also a list of Block Associations, so see if you live on a block that has one and join it or start one of your own. This does take time, energy and effort, but it does work. <br /><br />http://www.nyc.gov/html/mancb3/html/home/home.shtml Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-37985810382709758072016-02-19T11:26:24.074-05:002016-02-19T11:26:24.074-05:00What a loss.
