how to have an iconic business: be a third generation owner
@phuongnguyen-yd3bn5 жыл бұрын
It’s not easy to keep a business up to the third generation, even keep the second generation stay in New York is not easy too. I have seen many restaurants in Chinatown just last for 40 years max, could say the owners ‘ sons keep the business just because they can’t find good job else where.

My favorite NYC business would be a cafe I went to once. I forgot where it is, and sadly now it's gone. I know that my mother and grandmother went to it regularly, but I could only be brought once before they closed down.
