Going to Corti Bros is very financially dangerous for me. I should have some sort of electric shock collar that goes off when I try to enter the door. That place does such a bangin' business. The deli was MOBBED. Did you read the profile of Corti in the latest Sactown? You should, it's excellent. Have you ever seen pictures of young Corti? I had not.
Who hasn't dreamed of opening a restaurant in this space? I know I have, and I'm happy something is opening there. However, a message to Sacramento business owners: MAKE UP YOUR OWN THING. Do not just copy someone else's idea!! We already have a copy of the famous Korean taco thing, is called Kogi, which is just one "l" away from a lawsuit by the original truck, I'm sure. Did her original restaurant, Yunece 61 close down? That was a Korean/BBQ place that I reviewed years back. It was OK.

Thank god the residential condo tower fell through.
The space by Bows that housed Sweetwater is now available too. A Magpie Annex would be nice!

From Fins to Sweetwater to where? I fear what might move in there if they keep the same trajectory established those two ill-fated restaurants.
Mexican + Korean within one 300 sq. ft. place? Sounds like a disaster, but I kid you not...one of the best places to eat in Memphis combines Korean with Cajun and solid deli fare.
I love that little building. I was thinking a doughnut shop or florist would be cool.
I don't count the 19th & S building as one of those supposedly cursed locations. Both Fin's & Sweetwater were just uninspired businesses.
One thing downtown could use is a good bakery.

MH said a new bakery just opened in East Sac. However, the owners used to own a La Bou, which is a bad sign.
I dunno, I'm just glad Korean anything is coming. Also glad it's going to be open late.
As for the Sweetwater spot, somebody should open a really cool used music gear store and call it Profound Sound.
You know what would be great in that spot? A world-class pharmacy.

get petrovich on the phone! He may be planning to shoehorn on in across the street when the yogurt shop and/or generic mexican place goes under.
Skipper is a crispy fellow indeed. The Earl was rightfully famous for their righteous brown gunk. I also had an insane crush on the hot chick with the cursive neck ink. The coors was always cold and the price was always cheap.

I think that's a lousy spot for a restaurant, but Bill the Locksmith will keep them in business.
Oh yeah, Les Baux was not great. It looks good on the surface, but the "pain au levain" was torally bullshit.
