The 'sushi joint' is only about 400/person for dinner, so why not, go pig out everyday.

As an Architect, the TW center offends me just like the POS on astor place. But hey, it's good living for you and it's free. I love whole foods, but it costs more here than it does in Cali and it was already expensive there.

Gentrification is inevitable, but it also goes the otherway, every neighborhood has it's cycles and all good areas decline just like all bad areas will eventually gentrify.
