This has happened so many times in NYC, it's comical at this point.

One pizza place on 14th street complained when the busway was proposed that all their customers were driving there. Literally, you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a pizza place here. Almost nobody is driving to get pizza.

@bikepedantic if you can’t appeal to your neighborhood residents and need out of towners, then boy I don’t know

@bikepedantic He's got a private parking lot (and a website that doesn't mention the parking lot...)

@bikepedantic one Reddit comment that always stuck with me is Frank's is the type of place you go with your Prom date

Somehow I've just never been intrigued to go in after a decade of living within walking distance

@bikepedantic Fascinating that the business owners aren’t residents. I wonder where they’re driving in from.

And clearly, clearly, we need to care about their opinions vs. actual locals.
