Yeah, no doubt, the lose of Decca is negative by all accounts. But I think "NuLu getting a new look" is an apropos observation. La Bodeguita De Mima and Señora Arepa pack a strong 1,2 punch and are very popular. I had two friends from WV stay at the hotel next door in June and we had a late dinner at Bodeguita. The place is impressive.
The Hotel Genevieve across the street boasts a rooftop restaurant with a French twist--we'll see how that goes in a few months. It looks like the Tempo Hotel on Jefferson behind the Rabbit Hole is finally in the ground breaking mode as well. Meanwhile, the apartment/retail complex across from the Biscuit Belly on Main is pretty huge, advancing nicely, and should add a lot of life to that section of Nulu. The Everyday Kitchen and bar Vetti are new additions that are not fine dining per se, but quality food locations.
So yeah, getting a new look, but seemingly heading in a good direction.
