Cursed location!
ReplyDeleteWow this location as well as the corner of 12th st and 2nd ave are bad luck locations for businesses. They never last very long.
ReplyDeleteYea thanks for 13 great days! - sad to see y'all leave.
ReplyDeleteBad feng shui there.
ReplyDeleteThe space is uncomfortable. It's narrow and awkward. Even when it was a D&D, something about the space didn't feel right. They did have those stools along with window, though, which was a nice place to sit.
ReplyDeleteDon't know about "cursed" location, but I DO remember one restaurant that heavily advertised itself as a 'hookah lounge' which made me mentally delete them from my brain-map of restaurants in the area.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if rents were sustainable, a business could start and take root there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if "projected" rents were not the basis of equity loans and mortgages, owners could lower rents.
Maybe if the city imposed commercial rent control, we would not have 50% of the storefronts on every city block EMPTY.
Although I agree on capping commercial rents, still, 50% storefronts empty on every city block? You're in a 2 years delay. Most storefronts get a taker, and most restaurants are busy and full, and doing just fine, with young patrons willing to pay ridiculously over priced prices. So all this have nothing to do with specific location.
DeleteI thought I had heard that a number of these past businesses were related to the owner/managership of the building?
ReplyDeleteInteresting how some spaces never stick.
ReplyDeleteI knew when I clicked on this that half the comments would be about cursed location...
ReplyDeleteagree on capping commercial rents which are absolutely crazy now. this space would be great as a diner, since we lost Odessa and the 14th St. coffee shop during covid. pls no more smoke shops, expensive hipster food, or coffee shops that feel like a doctor's office!
