Does anyone but the residents of these new buildings patronize any of these businesses? That's a serious question. I've never set foot on this redeveloped area. Some really good restaurants have opened there for sure. Just wondering what kind of draw they get? Is parking underground only?
I hope they have decent parking. It's on my way home form work.
Parking is mostly all underground although there are a few 15 and 30 minute street spots. I'd say they are getting good traffic in that development generally, we go there a lot. Thai place is full, the Elena James looks full on weekend evenings, etc. Sarah's will definitely drive new people from the area since it is better than Charmery. The new grocer will matter a lot though to the continued success there - hoping for Balducci's, Mom's, or converted to Whole Foods..
