Creating Swim Two Birds
« on: December 15, 2015, 11:09:24 PM »
This thread is about creating a restaurant in Jackson Heights.

After a lot of hassles with local government, we are on our way.

We intend to document this journey, and are deciding how much will be on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. If you have a preference, let us know.

If you are interested in opening a restaurant and want to talk, hit me up, or ask a question below.

 Can't help but notice that our Chef de Cuisine Stew has beena bit silent  as of late.  And I was looking forward to those promised articles related to slave labor seafood. Was he booted from the forum?  Stew you there?

C'mon ptbass, no need to stir things up again.  Let sleeping birds lie.

I was actually looking forward to those articles.  And so were others I believe.   It's not an area I am familiar with.

Hmmm madlyn,  not sure exactly where you're seeing the sarcasm.   Chef De Cuisine is an honorary title.   And as I mentioned, I am actually interested in reading those articles. The problem with interpreting text online is that you may perceive sarcasm when  I wasn't intending any.  Now yes, I may have shared in a joke or two on another thread, but this one is clean and I have been wondering where he's been as of late.

Yes, let's leave the acrimony in 2015.

I'm not sure why you're assuming he was "silenced", his last post here was December 22nd, on the restaurant's a Facebook page it was November 3rd. I don't think he was silenced on his own Facebook page.

Considering the restaurant owner is busy creating a restaurantit's far more likely the guy is just busy. He received a lot of support on here about the troubles he was having, as well as it being a place to gripe about the challenges he was experiencing. Now that the project is moving forward, I wouldn't find it at all surprising if more time is being devoted to the actual work of opening a restaurant and less is being devoted to posting to this forum and FB/Instagram/etc.

The Swim Two Birds liquor license application appears on the Community Board's agenda for tomorrow's meeting (1/21)



Unfortunately, the deadline has already passed for community members to request to speak, but we can show up and clap our support for their application.
