Yup, exactly what I was suggesting.
Are you suggesting Il Ponte will be an Italian restaurant without wine and Moretti? That Italian food doesn't smell? That people drive to Jamaican restaurants, but walk to Italian ones?
RJ's popularity would make it much more busier than some Italian eatery/restaurant.
sure an Italian restaurant will have wine, etc but the volume of people will be more with RJ.
I never said people would drive to a Jamaican restaurant and walk to an Italian one.
what I did say is that RJ's popularity will have higher traffic (both pedestrian and vehicular) than il Ponte.
most Italian food I've had smelled of garlic, maybe some seafood.
Jamaican food could have curry, cumin, tamarind and other pungent spices.
Jason has a point though. Are Real Jerk's hours any later than Il Ponte's or any other restaurant with a liquor license in the city? RJ was at one point a landmark attracting celebrities and all kinds of VIPs. I figure that would be a good thing. Odours would make sense if they didn't allow any restaurants occupy that space.
If they didn't want any restaurants or any spaces that served liquor....I wouldn't have a problem. But alas, that isn't the case and I knew it as soon as they made a stink about it.

THURSDAY 11:30 am - 12 am
FRIDAY 11:30 am- 1:00 am
