Restaurants & Food / Novo Restaurant
« on: January 13, 2008, 02:06:42 PM »
I really like Novo's, don't get me wrong. But I used to go there more when it was more affordable. As they have gotten more popular, they have raised prices (makes sense - supply/demand of course) and it's the only classy-ish sort of lounge in the neighborhood. You used to be able to get decent sized appetizers and drinks without breaking the budget, which meant you could go a few times a week. Now it's more of a special occasion place for me, which is fine, but nothing has replaced it as an AFFORDABLE, nice, neighborhood bar where you can hang comfortably with friends. I would even try Texas BBQ if they had some lounge chairs and you didn't feel like you had to leave after you had dinner. Does anybody agree? And are there other options out there?

Does anyone know what rents are per/sf on 37th avenue? I always wonder how some stores survive (like the porcelain shop next to where ingrid's is). Do you really think they sell enough porcelain to pay for a space that large in such a prime location? They probably have a long term lease with rates that were set some time ago - but I wonder how long that will last? And who owns these buildings? Does anyone have a relationship with the owner - the one who makes the final leasing decisions - to perhaps help steer them in the direction of how the community is changing?

I know one person to stay away from, he is very overpriced

That's too bad. What kind of dog do you have? And what kind of treatment? Maybe that was why the cost was high?
