THE LEAD · WEST FORDHAM ROAD, BRONX
THE MONEY WENT TO THE WATERFRONT. THE CORRIDOR ABOVE IT WENT DARK.
The Dallas BBQ at the foot of West Fordham Road is closed. It was the chain's first Bronx location, open more than twenty years by the company's own count, on the Cedar Avenue corner that held Jimmy's Bronx Cafe before it. Fifty-five million landed downhill.

THE WEEK |
| NEWSLETTER EXCLUSIVE | Written for this list. |
THE GROCERY AISLE, CITYWIDE
THE $28 LUNCH IS NOT WHY YOU CAN'T AFFORD NEW YORK CITY
The advice is always meal prep. Cereal and bakery prices in the New York metro rose 5.0 percent over the year through April. Restaurant prices rose 3.4. The aisle you were told to retreat to moved faster than the room you were told to leave.

LIBERTY AVENUE, SOUTH RICHMOND HILL
SYBIL'S IS FIFTY. BREAKFAST STILL COSTS $1.25
Local Law 79 lifted the legal ceiling on delivery commissions from 23 percent to 43. Forty-three percent of a $1.25 pastry is 54 cents. The counter price at 132-17 Liberty Avenue survives because nobody is taking that cut at the door.

DAVIDSON AVENUE, UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS
NOBODY DOWNTOWN EVER RATED THIS COUNTER
Seventy-two starred restaurants across New York City and the county beside it. Zero in the Bronx. Not one Bib Gourmand either, in the borough where the cheap plate is the default and a West African steam table has run fifteen years.
