SugarHill Bistro was more upscale and found that out the hard way. I hear that new New Orlease spot there is having a tough time at it. Anyone know what typical Copeland (quite successful) price points are at?

A Manhattan restaurant needs a certain critical mass of walk by (not destination) but daily walk by traffic to stay a float. Based on what I read above, the square footage,number of seats and needed number of servings every night to support that, looks like a major roll of the dice with the current Chelsea many simply transferred uptown.

140 “Formal Seating Dining” at that location? That’s a lot of tables to support at that scale and I don’t see it @ 145th. If you look at Menupages or anywhere else, The Chelsea spot is considered a $$$ price level restaurant. My commentary is on can a $$$ scale spot with this means seats, this size be supported at that location every single night?

Pier 2110 is empty and unsupported on 125th most every night. I hate to compare the two because Pier 2110 lacks authenticity to me and is just,….”blah”, no character. Maroon has character that’s not manufactured but genuine.

I’d prefer to see a smaller more intimate and less ambitious Marroon open, one that I know can survive and not be taken away, as they took Sugar Hill Bistro away from me
I loved that place.
