I’m shocked by this statistic: 95 NYC restaurants closed since June, 136 have opened. It goes to show that even during the midst of a major recession NYC restaurantuers are some of the most entrepenuerial and daring business people. Those who find success balance a perfect combination of economic, creative and marketing skills…..and lots of luck.

Best of luck to all 136 restuarants that have opened…thanks for helping keep NYC the best place on Earth.
