Whether these numbers are literally true, people need to understand it's not a binary, it's not restaurants closing or staying afloat - people are taking predatory loans and having to cut workers, profits are going down to unsustainable levels, and a lot of people are in the red.
40% of DC restaurants likely to close by the end of the year, survey shows fox5dc.com/news/40-dc-restau…
Thrilled to see so many fantastic clients and friends get some love from @nytimes including Albi, Ellie Bird, Pineapple & Pearls, Reveler’s Hour, The Dabney, and Bresca - that’s a full 24% of the list, if we’re counting! nytimes.com/article/dc-best-…
