The war is over and Rio Rancho is victorious!
That was a text I got from Red a few days ago. I was surprised. We've been talking about declaring war vs. Risottoria for quite sometime, but I don't remember anyone taking any action (typical Rio Rancho...all talk, no action. but the talk is some funny shit!). No reason for war, really, we're all peace loving individuals. Additionally, I think combined, in our collective time living in the village, I think there have been 2 meals consumed at this neighborhood eatery. It's just the principle that we stand behind.
People waiting in line for this "restaurant": NYU students and their parents, tourists, bridge and tunnel. What sampling of the consuming universe personifies ignorance and tastelessness better than those three categories of vermin?
After all, isn't risotto a side, an accoutrement, not a main event?
Anyway, we talked about war, devising plans of boycott and torment. In the end, the health department waged our war for us.
Rio Rancho: 1. Greenwich Village: 0.

UPDATE: The risotteria has since re-opened. It is still being frequented by the same target audience. Additionally, they are able to pick up on some extra foot traffic generated by a new store in the 'hood: Nova Ice. There is apparently a strong overlap between Nova Ice shoppers and risotteria eaters.
