[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Palena was not located near the much debated Connecticut Ave. service lane, so that old dog won't hunt.[/b]  Unlike some other Cleveland Park restaurants, Palena did have an adjacent parking lot.  What it also had, according to today's Post, was a substantial past due rent obligation to its landlord, Federal Realty (which it was unable to negotiate) and what the article referred to as complex financial difficulties.  The restaurant world is a tough business, and commercial rents in this and other DC neighborhoods seem to have reached levels that even higher-end restaurants have trouble paying.  in any case, there's probably more to the Palena story.[/quote]

Do you know where Palena is? It's on the next block from the service lane. It's about as near as you can get without having an actual storefront on the service lane.[/quote]

I know where Palena is located. It's almost at the end of the next block from the service lane. The park and shop with Petco is between Palena and the service lane. That's hardly "as near as you can get." [/quote]

"Near the service lane" in the context of the service lane debate is about place which would benefit from increases in foot traffic around the CP metro. IOW, pretty much the strip from Macomb to Porter, on both sides. "Not near the service lane" = 2 Amys, or Lebanese Taverna.[/quote]
