Montclair Restaurants

Rosie, Montclair seems to be taking a hit recently with restaurant closings. Any theories, or just coincidence.

In these tough times, does it make any sense for someone to start up a restaurant? I think most people don’t realize the work and expense involved.

Just my two cents.

Montclair Restaurants

Minx, No theory but sometimes people open restaurants and have no idea about the time and work involved. I have noticed that many ethnic restaurants are opening up and the start-up for a store front establishment that is BYO is not as prohibitive. It’s not an easy occupation.
