I admit that I've stopped going after they raised prices a few times

The real problem is that I don't know many people who have eaten at any of these restaurants in quite a long time. They're convenient for the area and are established, but they're not at all the best or most exciting options. Dining preferences have shifted a lot.

I didn’t know redeye grill closed. I went there before Bridges of Madison County concert at Carnegie Hall last year and it was packed.


Has anyone been to Cafe Fiorello? Is it good? I’ve never been there before.

I can't believe that in the 12 years I was working back there and in the area, I never went into Bond 45. And I passed by it at least 5 times a week for like 7 of those years.

As someone who has often stayed at the Hotel Edison, I have frequently grabbed a quick breakfast at Bond 45 - so I hope it survives.
