Richter’s Reborn

Looks good! I wouldn't call it "Richter's Reborn" until I can go there and drink beer by the yards, though :)

OH!!! I can't wait to get in there and belly up to the bar! Now I gotta get them to provide a few vegan treats!

Oh I love a good watering hole!

@Curious

I was in there after their soft opening a couple weeks ago, and was told that they do indeed plan to offer half-yards in the future, but haven't yet found a reliable way to wash them to their liking. Hopefully soon, and hopefully they won't cost an arm and a leg.

will common folk be allowed in this establishment?

RCGuy
What is that in reference to?

@ RCguy

Yes, of course they'll be allowed; they may not be able to stay long, though, with the prices - the food in particular was more than I was willing to pay.

That said, when I went I got a 12oz glass of Gandhi-Bot for $6, which is eminently reasonable - given its high ABV, it really only cost about $3 per "drink" equivalent.

Congrats! Need more creative entrepreneurs like these folks and more creative downtown parking concepts. Keep on!!!

What a good job you are doing Jim Travers. But ofcourse you are.....as long as I have known you and that is well before you became a city employee you were always a good leader in the neighborhood and you always would think outside of the box! One hard working director!

I could see riding my bike there (put a drink in me, and there is no way I am driving), and having a go at a meat pie and a pint.

@RCguy: Absolutely no common folk will be allowed. I believe they plan to put a guy at the door to test each entrants commonality.....

....seriously, why waste space with such an absurd question? Are you alleging high prices? My wife and I went a week ago and had 1 beer, 1 glass of wine (each high end) and a meat pie. Our bill was under $20.

SaveOurCity, Streever,

I am alleging a culture of exclusion by a number of young, educated, financially wealthy New Haveners.

One way they exclude the common man is by setting the local-sourced meat prices too high. They also have the right education- knowing that better quality ingredients equals better health. Not everyone knows this.

Another way they exclude common people is by buying out a easily corrupted city government department with 1,640 quarters.

Have you ever been to Caseus?

RCguy, I find your argument to be absurd.

If a local business wishes to rent parking spaces from the city at a rate of the average daily intake, that is not corruption, that is good business for city and business owner alike. The city gets its money, and a new business gets a means to drum up business.

The well educated of New Haven are hardly trying to keep the information for good health away from the under classes. Rather the opposite.

The costs of meat is driven by market forces, not a conspiracy. As a rule, a vendor who can sell as many widgets at a higher price than the current one, will raise prices.

Yes I have been to Caseus, once. They seam to be doing well, but had no Welch cheese, so I felt no need to return.

I am neither well-educated, nor wealthy: I have been homeless and barely passed high school and was unable to attend further schooling. I've been to the Ordinary and enjoyed it.

Turns out that grass fed cow costs real money, because it isn't fed by government subsidized corn--how is that for a welfare program? YEA TEA PARTY!!!!!! Cut the fat in government spending, end corn and soy subsidies!

I have an idea, streever. After we find out if Thai food will or will not make one sick. Let's go here for a beer. (I will then dime streever out as a common person, and not one of us.)

I like that, Streever. You're right.

By the way, you seem to have "made something" of yourself despite
your lack of privilege!

Granted there's always the white privilege, but I'll lay off for now.

I'll check out Ordinary someday... but I better be able to pronounce the cheeses and afford the burgers!
