so much for adding to the neighborhood
Walking down Manhattan from the G Friday night, we notice lights in the former L and A Restaurant space. Now, someone in that space applied for a restaurant beer/wine license under the name Zaika of India, so we were eager to see the progress on the space.
It's not a restaurant.
It's another bodega.
The stretch of Manhattan between Milton and Greenpoint has, by my count, at least four bodegas already. I know it might SEEM like we need another one - and this one is huge - but not only am I angry as a resident that we're getting something we don't need, but as a businessperson, I question the business plan that made the owners seem like this was going to be a profitable enterprise?
