[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We definitely have crap Chinese, but very good Thai and Vietnamese. Good everyday Italian is non-existent. I am laughing at the person who said that our restaurants are bad here compared to New York because of the high rents. What kind of food do you like, OP? [/quote] Retail rent in DC is very frequently cited as a block to independent restaurants by industry observers. It's not just the rent amount but also the revenue for the location. So a $200 sq foot rental say on the UWS for a tiny high volume takeout Chinese place might be doable, but a $50 sq foot sit down restaurant on h st that only sees many diners on the weekends may not be doable from a business standpoint. NYC may very well be headed in this same direction too. [/quote]
