Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Maybe in the part of town you live in. Go by any medium to high end restaurant around here and try and find an empty parking lot. You really have to name 'high end' restaurant's around here. LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see. Moxies, Number 5, Lampy's, PS.... I'm sure you'll come up with a few more. How many folks in the greater Bingo area and the list is what around 10? And my point was that that list has worked pretty darn hard to earn their rep. We're talking support, not a competition on what a darn high end restaurant means. The likely hood of your success in this area is a low price-point restaurant, that's why you see folks that want a Hardee's or a Sonic. Once that meal goes over $20, you've got a pretty limited market. It is too bad. And yes, the Hardee people think a high end restaurant has dinners around $10-$12, your typical Italian fare. So, how do you define mid-to-high? A $12 burger at the new place. Oh my :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald's earned $6 billion last year. Your anger concerning this area is apparent, but things are no different here in the food service industry than any other part of the country. If 80% of the people owned 80% of the wealth in this country, things might be more in line with this fantasy that you have that people are cheap.

LOL. Sometimes people have opinions about fast food because they sometimes rely on it out of convenience, not because it's cheap. While there are definitely an unusual number of spectacularly cheap dirtballs in this area (actual discussions on this board: how $8 is outrageous for a lunch combo, how you have to "take out a loan" to eat at Cortese, how Kohl's is a high-end retail store), fast food has taken hold everywhere, and there's no reason to be a condescending douche toward everyone who periodically resorts to eating it.

Never said they are cheap, just making an observation. There are more than enough people around here to support a more diverse set of restaurants. Make your own conclusion. The three new ones are a good sign that some are willing to give it a go. I hope they are successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they're cheap. Even cheap Binghamton people admit it, but they try to polish it up and call themselves "shrewd", like it's a virtue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I made a generalization that was not fair. But, I do wish there were some better restaurant choices around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which raises the question: what should be next? Thai has struggled, which is a shame. I would frequent a place of similar quality to Taste of Thai in Ithaca. A Tapas bar with a decent wine selection would be a successful option downtown, as well, as diners get a good degree of control over how much they spend and it can be flexible for a quick bite or a full meal.

Well, if your idea of spending $100 on the same amount of food that you can get for $15 is a smart investment, go for it. And like I said. It's not just here, it's the entire world. In addition, if you are using the people on BCV as a prime example of the people in this area and their spending habits, you are highly mistaken.

In addition, if you are using the people on BCV as a prime example of the people in this area and their spending habits, you are highly mistaken. I think that's a little unfair. You're not just spending money on THE food... You're spending (or SHOULD be spending) money on the fact that it's being prepared in such a way that you couldn't hope to replicate. People like to eat out mainly for that reason. What's the big deal. It's certainly not an "investment," though lol. As to your second point... I have to disagree. Call them whatever you like, but Binghamton/Broome people are cheap by most standards. I know, I grew up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have to eat in order to survive. Food is a necessity, not a luxury. And food is one area where people can cut corners and still survive. And on a side note - if you can't replicate anything that you can consume when you eat out, you need to take some cooking classes. It's not like they are performing alchemy.

That poster just made himself look like a cheap huckleberry, that he thinks there's equivalence between eating a nice meal at a nice restaurant ($100 for two) and eating fast food ($15 for two).
