There Is No Recession
If there really was a recession going on today in the Meatpacking District I wouldn't have seen...
Merkato 55 packed with a line out the door
A 25 minute wait for a table for 1 at Pastis at 6PM
Lines out the door for Bagatelle
The Spice Market packed at 5:45
Halfsteak empty
In other news, Merkato 55 had a small fire today, Buddha Bar is changing its name (its currently a secret) and also was empty at 6PM. STK was empty as well. Bagatelle was a ghost town after the Brunch Party...but started to pick up at around 7:30.
