    It Would Be Stupid!

    It would NOT make any sense to not have outside seating.

    It would be stupid, they have the permit available.

    Huge, extra wide sidewalk and a corner location. Most famous corner in Buenos Aires for 40 years.

    There will be tables and chairs but maybe no Chicas which means no customers after 10pm.

    It Was Sold

    X was never shut down, it was sold by the owner's son when the owner died.

    A steal at 1. 3 million u$d.

    Partial list of problems :

    A long legal hassle to pay-off the exemployees, some that had worked there for 30 plus years.

    Each waiter was entitled to 150k plus as severance .

    Moving the bathrooms from ground level to the basement, adding central air, unable to find the main gas line underground, contractor unable to pay the workers so they squatted on site for at least 1.5 years !

    The new owners have very deep pockets so they were never in a huge rush to reopen.

    Permits and lack of permits!

    It appears to be ready, has new furniture still under plastic wrapping.

    They created a smoking area where the bathrooms were but then the law changed so they had to tear it out.

    The word on the street is that they will not allow Chicas to hang-out there when it reopens.

    So why bother going?

    If you build it they will come.

    Exedra

    The paper is off the windows. Looks ready to open but needs tables, chairs, etc.

    Should open on or before July 2014!

    When?

    I just happened to walk by here today and it looks like they are ready to open any day. It looks like it is almost finished, just doing some painting and cleaning. Maye they will be open in March as others have posted!

    Someone bring him Pastrami Sandwich.

    He did not know anything about Chicas.

    He did think that if you build it they will come!

    It will have the same name and has nothing to do with Bricco's.

    Place looks very nice, pleasing colors.

    Tuck and roll sofa looks cheap and out of place with the modern, booth style semi-sofas.

    Oh well, I am an interior designer!

    The X emblem which is VERY nice is cock-eyed on the bar!

    That's a capital sin man!

    Like a crooked Mona Lisa!

    The place looks like it's ready to go now.

    Also, Lälliance, my old place will re-open in April!

    AS a FUCKING SUBWAY!

    My rent was $3, 200. 00.

    His rent is $14, 000. 00!

    He has to redo EVERYTHING and pay for the franchise, etc.

    Some please bring Tijuana a Pastrami Sandwich. Freeze Warpped.

    You can also bring a Crab from S. F or the USA.

    Product in my opinion because it's just bread and 1 thin piece of ham and cheese!

    I need a ¨Jewish Deli ¨Dagwood!

    A fucking 2 pound pastrami on rye with melting cheese!

    He will probably close at night and on sat. And sun. !

    20 lunches a month to cover his nut!

    Can he do it?

    Excedra

    Still not open as of mid Dec 2011.

    Excedra

    A reliable source (or as reliable as one can expect here) tells me it will reopen on or about September 20th as a coffee shop with no other activities.

I simply can't control someone whose taken care of me for 60 years. I'm just glad yall still got your scalps. (smile)."we are all just seeds in gods hands". Love and best regards all. Phu bai

    There is close to nothing going on as far as renovation inside the place. The whole thing remains a mystery.

    I'm going to bet 100$ on the under that nothing opens in that spot in 2010.

    I am still going with this.
    This is from last year, Jackson excuse me for not knowing the new quoting formatting but I think I won this pool.

    Can you foward the funds to the lechuga funds for me.
