I feel like the whole Worcester Renaissance thing is dead. Places closing up shop or moving out left and right.

Or maybe there’s too many friggin “burger” themed restaurants. That and the video game bars. In reality, there’s only so much demand. How many times a month do you want a $15 burger? Everybody is trying to be something that everybody else is already doing or done. Some originality goes a long way

Based on the other current thread sounds like Worcester could use a Dim Sum place 🤷‍♀️

It will be interesting to see if you are correct. The place going into the Hangover, positions itself as a martini bar with gastro pub food. To me that doesn’t sound like a winner, but I guess it might meet your criteria of originality

Yup. Burger joint is the last place I’m going for food. The whole concept of going out to eat (for me) is centered around getting something that is a serious pain in the ass to make at home, or trying something i’ve never had.

The beauty of the Worcester Renaissance is it never really starts. It just revs its engine but never takes its foot off the clutch. They've been saying, "The Worcester Renaissance is just about to really kick off!" since at least 2005. But it never does, really.

Yeah, I hear that. I feel like it’s always one or two steps away from Worcester cutting loose.

During boom times it's normal to open too many stores, the not so good ones always end up dying.
