Mini-Uptrend for Restaurants

[DonRocks]

For whatever it's worth, I've detected a distinct upward trend during the past week-or-two in the number of diners in restaurants. Things were pretty dead there for awhile, but I sense, at the very least, a bounce off the short-term bottom. Patience and fortitude, mes amis...

Adour was packed on Saturday. Too bad it had not filled up sooner so that I didn't have to see the horrendous table manners of a well known political commentator (my 9 year old nephew can wield a fork with more grace).

Never gesticulate when you should be masticating, I always say.

That's good to hear. We've been to a few places in the past week or so ( iTrulli x2, Park Ave. Autumn, Quality Meats) and all have been packed. I hope this trend continues in DC (as well as up here in NYC)!

I think a lot us are just saying *&^ it - life is too short. As opposed to the econo shocks of the last few weeks.

People probably won't buy things, but I would bet that it is comfort food restaurants that will bounce back first.
