NICE POST

I dont know about the rest of you, but i’ve been thoroughl disapointed with the restaurants around ditmas. When the new places started moving in a few years ago i was really excited, there was a lot of buzz in the media, but now that i am paying closer attention i see that they are almos all falling far short of expectations. Have you looked closely at the report card grades? All your local favorites for the most part have not done so well, and are covering this up by slyly putting the report card at angles not easily seen, or even more deceptively have not even put up the card at all. Come on thats pretty lame and a shame for the rest of the residents of this neighborhood.

Ive noticed that among the people i talk to they have started to decrease the eating in the neighborhood and going to other hoods. I wonder if this is the start of a larger trend

We were also excited about the new restaurants.  But other than San Remo, Cafe Tibet and Oxcart, we tend to go south: Taci’s Beyte, Cafe Glechik, Tatiana, Limon, Istanbul, Chikurin.  We find Farm, Kumo, Yam too expensive, and forget about Picket Fence since the Meyerson’s left.  Do like the “coffee and” at Quathra and Catskill.

some of the places being mentioned have chosen not to display their report card rather than display it and lose customers. Is that the place you want to eat at?

Listen, I hear what you are saying and I’d like to support all the local businesses, but in general the prices are overly high and the quality is questionable. 

There, someone had to say it. 

Prices are REALLY high, it’s very annoying. Generally, I’m priced out of eating in my own neighborhood.
