There're plenty of places in the EV to be real and divey. It's about options, the more the better. If I feel like wearing yesterday's T shirt and drinking beer in a stinky dive I can throw a rock. The upscale places may be making inroads, but there will always be dives. That's what makes them special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3645749944655053872015-04-24T17:21:03.680-04:002015-04-24T17:21:03.680-04:00try and pass opening a "bar" by communit...try and pass opening a "bar" by community board 3. you have to have all the bells and whistles up for those tasteless wannabee upper west sider jerksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-7832185240227223462015-04-24T14:51:10.930-04:002015-04-24T14:51:10.930-04:00Y'say postmodern like it's a good thing.Y'say postmodern like it's a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14316089829313266202015-04-24T14:30:15.402-04:002015-04-24T14:30:15.402-04:00As a 20+ year resident of the EV, I would dismiss ...As a 20+ year resident of the EV, I would dismiss this out of hand but being a fan of mid-century Polynesian, I'm curious to see how this unfolds.

These are not places for neighbors/locals. <br /><br />Death & Co. is a nice joint for tourists, the moneyed-privileged crowd in town from Los Angeles, and anyone else willing to stand in line until someone calls your name and crosses you off the wait list on the clipboardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-2960955700527996532015-04-24T09:57:39.114-04:002015-04-24T09:57:39.114-04:00Oh chill.

Here's a tip, authentic and contextual will make your bar look like it was designed for adult client which I hope is who you intend on serving. Kitsch is good when a place has been around 20 years and cannot be made by adding water into powder like shitty macaroni and cheese. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
