It will only get worse as the 6,500+ new condos go up all over the city this year alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-35848281686190163402015-01-05T12:42:32.861-05:002015-01-05T12:42:32.861-05:00Suggestion to Ira:

Might turn off some patrons. <br /><br />Or he can do so now as a heads up to any potential tenants who don't know the history of this latest skirmish.

We have no idea if the new restaurant (whatever that business might be) had any hand in pushing Cafe Edison out.<br /><br />Feel free not to eat at the new restaurant (whatever it might be). I certainly won't. But be sure the reason is because it will hurt Barad. Let's keep the anger directed at the man who deserves it.Forest Hills Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-53758837994684446832015-01-05T08:39:57.123-05:002015-01-05T08:39:57.123-05:00Once the new place opens I hope there is a social ...Once the new place opens I hope there is a social media onslaught against it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-53484755992906617112015-01-05T07:58:02.374-05:002015-01-05T07:58:02.374-05:00I'm surprised the chandeliers didn't go in...I'm surprised the chandeliers didn't go into storage, too.
