no they wont....or if they do come back, the food will be alot more expensive and it has to be gluten free and organic to please the hipster crowd.........
I dont even get aggravated anymore......the old NYC I knew growing up is dead and gone and this is just another thing that illustrates that.......
NYC is no longer the eccentric, colorful and unique city of years past.....its just a wasteland of trust fund babies pretending to be weird and WASPY yuppies now......

oh well....
I'd hardly consider Downtown Brooklyn as old NY. That probably vanished around there after they built the BQE around it and then put up MetroTech. But perhaps I'm wrong, maybe it was always that ghostly of a downtown area.
It wasn't that ghostly back in the 60s before the advent of Malls. It was, like Jamaica Queens, a major shopping area. I remember when you could take the IRT, get off at Hoyt, and the subway exit led right into A&S. That is long gone, all closed up. Can you imagine the bum rushes robbing goods and fleeing on the subway now?

Exactly Right!!
We'd take the New Lots train and go to Korvettes, A&S, Kleins, Martins, Mays, McCory's. Jamaica had Gertz and Orbachs. Both were great areas for shopping.
I haven't eaten there in years, nor do I think I would have eaten there in the years to come.
