If somebody doesn't want to cook at home or has more family members than they have room for, then it's great to be in a city that's got restaurants that are actually busy on the holidays.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In a city like New York, especially for young professionals who aren't in a family situation, most people don't cook for themselves. This is the only city I've ever lived in where I eat out every night.
Each city should have its own type of restaurant.
It's one thing to execute dishes on your own time for family and friends, but quite another to perform and be judged in a competition. And that's what cooking in a high profile restaurant is. It's a competition. You're up against every other three-star restaurant in your city, and if you want to stay in business, you'd better deliver.
I wouldn't mind having a nice little restaurant.
It's not easy to have success with restaurants in different cities, but I like the challenge.
Most restaurants in most cities, including Washington, are at a sort of mid-level. They're somewhat trendy, or they have some sort of gimmick, or they're somewhat expensive. And they make a lot of money off drinks. I tell people don't go to most of them, unless your goal is just to socialize.
I don't think there's going to be sustainable demand for restaurants that force you to spend hours there.
I live in New York and I'm in New York basically all the time. I spend a lot of my time in my restaurants, and I feel like that's why they're successful.
You look around New York, and we are surrounded by restaurants and food trucks, and we celebrate food in this city like no tomorrow.
My family often travels to New York City during the holidays, and that's always a good time.
