» The NYT on Underground Restaurants
Because it’s damn difficult to open a real restaurant:
“The passionate enthusiasts who have opened dozens of unlicensed restaurants in apartments and other private spaces in recent years do not generally aspire to become traditional restaurateurs, with overhead and investors and the health department—aka The Man—telling them what to do. They are not in it for the money or for Buddha Bar-size crowds; instead, they say, they are in it for the community and the creative freedom.”I’d consider these more roving dinner parties than restaurants, but I’m game if anyone else is. I’ve even got a name.
