Maybe another smoke shop or a frat bar should have opened up instead? Seriously, step outside, it helps.

You really think he didn’t make Mokofuku work on 2nd Ave? It was packed all the time lmao. And, Indian doesn’t work? Tell that to the Dhamaka and Veeray Dhaba teams, their restaurants are always filled. The ones that failed are the ones who put little effort into their food being good. Not hard.

The fantasies of the ruling class are absolutely laughable. This neighborhood does not need any restaurants at that price point, let alone a Indian one. How many good, affordable Indian restaurants have closed here in the past 18 months? <br /><br />If David Chang couldn't make the space work, why will this be different? How did Max Brenner and Michael White fare when they tried to open flagship restaurants here? Didn't Poiarkoff try to open a Marta here too?

Do they think their absurd midtown prices will do better down here? Maybe they are hoping the congestion pricing gets shot down so they can go after the bridge and tunnel gang.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
