Where does the guy on 3rd street keep his "many cars"?

EV restaurants that cater to both truck drivers and politicians have gone the way of Leshko's in order to make way for hyper-seasonal wine gardens. And it's very questionable that truck drivers would be able to afford to eat in the EV these days, or that they'd even want to.

Agreed, Ken.

A friend who lives around the corner tried to eat at Edi & Wolf a few weekends ago. She was told there was a 90-minute to two-hour wait. And the hostess (or whomever) wouldn't even take her name for a table later! No one in the place at the time appeared to be from the neighborhood. They were catering to the foodie types... I never understand why more places like this don't try to cater to locals... because after the foodies find the next new thing, who's left to eat here?

More like a 35-seat "woo garden". BTW I consider myself a foodie who, thanks to my half-German heritage, is interested in Austrian/Swiss-type food, which Edie is supposed to have. But when I checked their menu there was literally nothing interesting to me on it, hyper-seasonal" be damned.

Maybe some of these yuppie dogs should try the soup line in the park and a nite on the row then it would show them and then take woofie to the dog run with matching coats
