Tonyjive’s gotta a point, the owners gotta raise the limbo bar ‘cuz unless yer starr/vetri/garces, that rent is a hard dance to shake, especially for the independent restaurnteur in this economy.

Last I heard from someone who looked at the place, the landlord wants over 4 stacks a month to rent it out. BYOB would have to do a lot of covers to make good on that rent. Good idea with the Italian wine bar. On site meats would be great, With Sonny D down the street, it would be hard to turn down the opportunity to sell his wild boar prosciutto and some other offerings.

going to agree with start. a real italian cafe would be nice. don’t know about 24 hours but something open reasonably late.

id like to see a true-blu italian cafe. it would have panini and tramezzini and serve coffee drinks. also it would have one or two beers on draft (sly fox pils and/or oreilly stout) and a small bottle selection (both beer and wine)…like the cafes of italy and france. oh, and it would be open 24 hours.
