Subway's new location will be next to an existing Papa John's Pizza that currently inhabits the space next door and we have been told that out of the Tower condo's "600 unit complex – 160+ owners signed a petition against the Subway, and the current Board still allowed them in AFTER Boards of the past 2 years turned them down." Residents reportedly wanted a Duane Reade since the fancy Cafe Amrita on the south side of the building already took the charming coffee shop opening. This corner is directly in front of the B,C subway station at Central Park so one would think getting choice businesses in would not be such a big hassle.
Feel sorry for the ones who live right above Subway. Eat there once in a while, but the smell makes me nauseous!
ReplyDeleteTheir realtor is to blame. The realtor would have income info on the building residents and the 96 to 110 street customer base as well.
ReplyDeleteWithout being familiar with the area -have done bier- I'd say a family style italian place with the classics and a few fancy dishes -squid ink pasta-would kill there especially if they offered delivery.
Thai
Japanese -Yakitori anyone-
Indian
Good Mexican
An international street food establishment anyone.....
Depressing. Duane Reade is depressing also but at least of some use. Subway is now the largest franchise in the U.S.- we certainly do not need another one by Central Park. Cafe Amrits does booming business and is unique. There seems to have been a failure of imagination here.
