Things I won’t miss in the aftermath of the financial crisis
October 2, 2008 5 Comments
There are many things that may go away or decline as a result of the credit crunch. If the following are some of those things, I will be very happy:
- Ever-increasing rents in New York and other American cities
- Luxury condo buildings
- Overpriced pan-Asian and new American restaurants
- Overpriced wine bars
- Travel writing, especially luxury travel
- Articles about how X neighborhood is the new Y neighborhood
- Sub-divisions
- Stretch hummers
Please comment with other suggestions. This is by no means a complete list!
what’s a new american restaurant?
i don’t know, Jon. you tell me what i should be calling it. the ones that charge a lot for a walnut and gorganzola salad.
a bad bistro? gorgonzola is expensive…but then again i never order salads.
You know what I will be glad to be rid of even more than stretch hummers? Stretch hummers full of squealing 13 year old girls and the dim-witted parents that think renting one for a birthday party is a worthwhile use of money.
yo, whatever alicia, i had one for my sweet sixteen
