Stephan's mommy worked as a school teacher. Stuy-town was originally developed to provide affordable housing to working class new Yorkers. They live in Stuy-town. That's not the East Village. Don't think any school teachers could afford to eat here. <br /><br />They did a kickstarter and raised $20,000. Take a look at this, it's pretty original in this day and age.<br /><br /><br />https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/240021178/soothsayer/descriptionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29560916296992373132016-01-16T20:03:18.508-05:002016-01-16T20:03:18.508-05:00How did they get a full liquor license when they &...How did they get a full liquor license when they "withdrew its bid for 171 Avenue.

None of this is the kinda food that would stand up to delivery. Have you looked in the window at the decor? Not exactly warm and inviting to locals. How is this not designed and marketed as a destination spot. Does a neighborhood space really have a glamour shot of the chef with a page long bio on their website? <br /><br />Give me a break, this crew is trying to become a destination if there ever was one. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-57107274445438910812016-01-15T16:37:05.869-05:002016-01-15T16:37:05.869-05:00Sao Mai sucks and the people who work there suck t...Sao Mai sucks and the people who work there suck too.

(Although if someone in Saigon is selling "contemporary Vietnamese food", does that mean it is not "authentic"? I think the better verbiage here would have been "traditional".)
