Good. A waitress there stole my wallet off the table on New Year’s Eve. When I went to get it back the owner laughed at me and told me there’s nothing he can do. Got what’s coming to him. Food sucked too.

You're talking to a city with a near 20% poverty rate. People are already getting priced out by the increasing housing costs, nobody is going to want to vote for increasing their taxes. Even if it does make life easier.

Pepes taqueria- consistently good tacos and burritos. Not hot enough spice wise for me, but admittedly nothing is. Tacos and tortillas made in house.

The people on this committee are residents of Worcester and volunteers.

In regards to the Renaissance comments here, we need real trash collection with barrels not bags, free large item pick up, walkable and bikeable streets and free, quality public transportation and the willingness to pay a touch more in property taxes to get these things. As long as we continue to vote for the least property taxes and the most entrenched representatives we'll always just be a really big suburb with suburban values and suburban style landscapes. If we want to be a city, we need to be willing to be a city.

Well I for one thought this place was pretty good and will miss the onion strings.
Doesn't seem like a great sign for the Canal District that this place and the Hangover have closed back-to-back like this.

This place had potential but the burgers were just OK, the drink menu didn’t actually list the type/flavor profile of their whiskey, and the bartenders didn’t seem to know anything about the whiskey they were serving either.

My secret - goto Trader Joe's and pickup Chicken and pork Shu Mai. They are better than most of the restaurants.

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

That’s too bad they were on my list. Although they had been for a couple of months so I’m sure that’s part of the problem.

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.

I don't know. There's so many Chinese restaurants in the area that I find it hard to believe there isn't one.
It might not be in Worcester, but there's probably one in the county.

Honestly don’t remember. It was Dim Sum food but not the carts and stuff. It’s near the equine store

That would be the Chef Sau, no din sum. The food is greasy and over priced. There is not a single asian restaurant worth a damn west of Worcester until you hit Amherst. The Eastern Pearl in Webster is ok if you're looking for American Chinese food but if you're looking for the real deal you have to travel. Worcester has a pretty wide spectrum of eateries but I think there's room for small niche places that serve up things no one else offers like din sum. If you make it, they will come and if it's really good the line will be out the door. If you are the entrepreneurial type, Worcester is a college town and students come from all over, talk to them, ask them what they like, what's good back home.

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

Wellesley or Boston are the closest places with legit Dim Sum unfortunately
