Never got the hate, especially from people that make food and music a priority in their lives. This is copied and pasted from a friend of mine. what he says about music surely applies to restaurants…

“I’m glad the whole “brooklyn” thing exists. I get to see great shows in fun spaces run by people who are passionate about it and take care of both the bands and the fans. I think that makes me very lucky.

Are there assholes? Sure. You’re gonna get that anywhere. But you know what? This is where my family is. If I act like an asshole, phones will ring. These folks can put on shows and do what they feel, fully and completely, with like-minded people in their tow and the only repercussions will be on themselves. Bully for them.

And…I’M welcome at the great gigs that THEY put together.

Thank you, blow ins. There’s still plenty of room here.”

So you walk down Bedford Ave and there dudes with moustaches and rainbow socks – man, who gives a shit.
