DH, no F’ing way of opening something like that here – too costly, too much competition, too me-too (ie BK bowl here already),… the area I’m thinking of in richmond is under-represented for something like this. all they got is bars, restaurants, and live music theaters but not something like this. Plus it’s a ton easier to find good people to run at reasonable cost there vs. here
Did someone say something about things in China slowing down?????
Lafite Sets Wine Record $230,000 a Bottle in Hong Kong Auction
Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) — Three bottles of Chateau Lafite’s 1869 vintage each sold for a record price of HK$1.8 million ($230,000) at an auction in Hong Kong, Sothebys said.
The historic trio was the oldest of almost 2,000 bottles of Lafite being sold by Sotheby’s at last night’s sale. The wines had been sourced directly from the cellars of the chateau in Pauillac, near Bordeaux.
All three of the bottles of the 1869 vintage were bought by the same Asian telephone bidder, said Sotheby’s. They had each been expected to sell for between HK$40,000 and HK$60,000.
The auction record was previously the 105,000 pounds
($168,000) paid for a single bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite engraved with the initials of Thomas Jefferson at Christie’s International in London in 1985.
“DH, that’s what I have in mind. contemplating openning a smaller version of bk bowl down in richmond. I think it would cost $2M in renov and reserve to open a smaller version. so just testing to see how close is the $2M guess.”
sweet! why richmond? you gonna do just bowling or a music venue/bowling/bar/lounge/high end restaurant concept like BB?
that place is a fuckin goldmine
i would imagine their reno was super $$$ bc it’s LEED Platinum (i think)

“anyone know anyone who can help me price out the cost of opening a bowling alley place?”
No, but count me in if you wanna open one with a dive bar that serves great hot dogs, hamburgers, and grilled cheese sammiches.
DH, you in?

Let’s hope your not one of the first to get axed by Paladino… lol.
But good luck, seriously.
“Besides, he’s thinking about living in Bay Ridge now and I just couldn’t lower myself to having sex with someone from Bay Ridge”
I have no problem lowering myself, whenever I’m in the mood for a really trashy hook up.
Otherwise, I import my Bay Ridge trick to Brooklyn Heights.
