hmmmm, jds? That’s the 1st time I’m hearing that and I know some people who ate there all the time.

It’s a dangerous place. I became very ill after eating there, as have others. I understand that it’s been shut down — hopefully for good. Yecch.

I don’t think most of us are looking for any fancy improvements, just enough renovations to make the place feel more welcoming. Kudos to the owners for removing the bars from the windows. I’m sure when these guys have the money, they’ll invest in their business accordingly. In the meantime, keep up the great food!

Anna – no need to resort to personal insults. I am just saying that I would prefer the neighborhood develop in a way that benefits us all, rather than being held back by the anti-progress reactionaries so evident on this site.

Anna – we don’t have a Starbucks on this side of the neighborhood yet, and I for one would welcome one. Enough of this bleating about artists and ‘authenticity’. Why deprive yourselves of quality food and coffee? You want to martyr your tastebuds on the altar of dodgy curries? Fine, but please allow my neighborhood to develop and gentrify the way that it should.

I totally agree with Anna. The food is great, and the neighborhood needed Indian food. Beyond that, are we so shallow that we need fancy chairs and lighting to enjoy a great meal at low prices? If the owners tanked all their money into fancy decorations as Mike suggests, I guarantee the prices will skyrocket and the quality of food will go down. If that’s what you are down for, go to the City. I love the fact that you can still find REAL places in this neighborhood. D Space is one of the last of a dying breed of great local joints, with delicious food at super cheap prices. We should support them. God help us if another starbucks opens up …

a front b/c they only take cash? you watch too many movies. they take CREDIT CARDS. hello somebody. i k now the guys who run the place. they are extemely hard working, honest good people who had very limited funds and a dream and they are trying to make it work. they are longtime dumbo residents and musicians. these are the kind of businesses we should support in dumbo. these guys are the real thing. would you all rather have a starbucks in that place? or a low key joint with excellent, cheap fresh food?

If the owners were smart, they’d sublease the space to one of you budding ingenues who seem to know so much about the restaurant industry – I’m sure he’d net at least as much money as he does trying to please all you “foodies” (reads:cheapskate complainers) without even lifting a finger, except to endorse your check once a month…

Mike,
You’re so right. Thanks for the great idea – I can’t believe we didn’t think of this earlier.

p.s. – Can you loan me $1,000,000
