Has anyone kept track of how many times Corine has left this site, never to return...until she has something new to shill? She knows she needs this site to work her machinations. How else can people be reminded to follow the train wreck. BWW has been free promotion for a very self promoting, but talentless writer, reviewer, critic, journalist, freelancer, blogger or whatever term suits the mood of the day. It's her means to an end.
Personally I always found your writings of Raku to be a major disservice to them. You prattle on about your Corine Roll without explaining that anyone who has ordered 10 of a speciality roll can have it named after them. You never mention their prix fix dinners or box specials, especially important for those not incline to eat sushi.
Dear Lord, you can't even provide a street address for those who want join you there. The restaurant is dark with a black sign, and small sidewalk sign. You don't know if you're walking in the door of a sushi place or for a palm reading.
And although I've never been a member of NYC and Company I do know enough about tourism and the restaurant industry to realize that the success of a restaurant is predicated on its ability to turn tables, especially when there are so few tables to turn. So when someone describes that they view a restaurant as their living room I don't find it surprising that the venture would fail. Repeatedly calling a restaurant your living room makes you, and it, look the fool. When I dine in a restaurant I want to do so in a dining area, not someone's living room, not someone's kitchen, and certainly not someone's bedroom. There actually is such a thing as bad PR.
Rest in peace, Iflitifloat.
