Did it really need to take the recession to get Farmers Markets to spring up all over? For restaurants & bars to have happy hours...real happy hours where you get 2-1 rounds & 1/2 price food or FREE nibbles...for Entrees to go for $20 something bucks?
While it great to be able to get products from all over, Farmers Markets I hope are here to stay. You get fresh produce grown/made locally which saves you money, puts the money right in the farmers pocket & reduces greatly transport costs. It's a win-win that I hope is here to stay.
I got sick of paying $15+ bucks for a drink in a bar full of trendoids a long time ago. Happy hour should be a time where people go somewhere for a drink & a deal...not to get stuffed & screwed without a smile or thank you. So PLEASE keep REAL happy hours alive & well even after the recession is over.
Charging $40 for an entree w/o any sides or anything else is DISGUSTING & RIDICULOUS. I don't care what the quality, ingredients, or portion size is. I've eaten way to many great tasting entrees for $20+ & under in restaurants throughout NYC that it can be done. Reduce the portion size if need be & stop charging to attract celebrities & Hedge Fund Managers...unless of course you can sustain a business with ONLY their business (good luck since your clientele has been greatly reduced...)
