Soeaking of restaurants failing, yet another business (remember Steve's
Ice Cream?) has now failed at the corner of William and State. Domino's
is closing the store because its pizza drivers could never find a place
to park.

Another restaurant location that can't seem to support long-term success
is the corner of Liberty and Stadium. La Pinata was replaced by
Watercress, and now it's UpSouth. No one seems to be eating there,
though, so I fear it will soon go away too.

(And now it's a bank.)
We tried UpSouth before it closed. Yes, 'twas indeed Southern cooking, but
the place was too smoky for regular visits.

William and State's curse is, of course, continuing. I'm told Famiglia has
recently gone out of business; credit for that failure is given to the
proximity of NYPD down the block, which is a fairly similar pizza place (I'm
told; never been to either), but with better food, and with a more firmly
entrenched position in the student body's stomach.

I think Famiglia moved in several years after NYPD opened. It's always harder
to compete against an established business if you don't have a seriously
more-in-demand product.

Famiglia was gone at the end of last school year, I believe; certainly it was
gone by the time I left at the end of the summer. NYPD was better, bigger
slices, and cheaper, I think. . . .
re resp:70 -- when i worked there (summer 2002--summer 2003), supervisors
called it Shapiro Library but everyone else called it the Undergrad or the
UGLi.
