Where Have The 20 Somethings Gone?
February 4th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
As the owner of Lima’s Taste Peruvian Restaurant I spend a lot of time on the floor and by instinct take mental and completely unscientific demographic notes. Yes the economy is down and people are not eating out as much, but most noticeable is the effect it’s having on that ever so jubilent bunch “the 20 somethings”. I miss them. There was something special about the bouyancy they would automatically add as a group of 5 or 8 of them would come in and laugh and raise the volume level of the establishment. They also tend to be the most curious about the food–many questions. It’s a delight to know that someone’s curious and must find out “what is ceviche?” “Why does this food taste like something I’ve never tasted before?” Hey 20m somethings–we’ll see you soon when the economy straightens out, and may the greedy stupid bastards who caused this mess go to their home in hell.
