Hopefully, an independent restaurant with different cultural foods will take that spot. I am craving a Real Latin American restaurant and a Traditional German restaurant in the area. No more Italian, American Chinese, Fake Mex, Cookie cutter Irish pub/restaurants or carry out sub shops.

How about a privately owned real sports bar by an individual with local ties to the area. Not a food chain rest/bar. A place w decor from local area sports programs of high schools and colleges in the area. Serve simple but quality food at a reasonable price. Enough is enough with $4 domestic beers. Lets have a neighborhood pub with a neighborhood feel with affordable pricing. Lets get away from the club prices that we have seen creep up 95 to the county. Instead of raising prices on the menu for food and beverage to afford the rent and still make a profit. How about making each experience an enjoyable one and bring in a larger volume of customers enabling an owner to lower product prices without sacrificing the quality of food/service.

Just not another half-ass fake Irish Pub.

I was saddened to learn that the Manhattan Grill closed. We always like to patronize local restaurants and was even thinking about ordering some of their great wings for Saturday's Ravens game. It is a tough job trying to compete with so many other restaurants in the area, but I would vote for a "German theme". All those great
" knockwursts" would be wonderful along with the sauerbraten. Silver Spring Station offers sauerbraten during the winter months, and we enjoy that dish! And Perry Hall was settled by many German families.

About the same time as this story first ran, there was also a story about Giorgio's closing. That too was supposed to be temporary with the shop reopening after the new year. I haven't noticed any new signs or activity down there, is there any updated info about the Giorgio's situation?

Why did Giorgio's close ? Was i a case of the landlord greed and raised the rent? They always seem to be busy and I liked there SUBS. Thats what closed the Sub Shop in the perryhall shopping center after over 40 years of business. After that long of paying rent you would think the lanlord would be proud to have a bussiness that long, no improvements to the dwelling at all.

Might be too small, but I would love to see a Looney's Pub. Their wings and steams muscles are the best !!

Probably enough looneys in Perry Hall :-)

I vote for a "Love Craft" novelty shop.

Their service was poor the few times was in and so I stopped going. A couple if times NO ONE waited on me so I got up and left. A better restaurant would be great DeSantis is a great idea!

Someone got shot in the face here people.

Thats the real reason this place lost it's night life. It used to be poppin.

Lets cut to the chase...i worked there.On Dec.7th I had a job.On Dec.8th the doors were locked with this excuse the computers were down.Not only that on the 7th I was paid $460.67for payroll.That check bounced right before Christmas.Everyone received a rubber check from Tommy Tobin for Christmas. NO NOTICE,NO MONEY,NOTHING. He would not even answer a call,text or email.

Maybe they could squeeze a chain drug store in that space

Not many reporters or detectives here... Here's what I found in 5 minutes relevant to the story, not sure what of my assessment is true - but it comes from the Court Case Search... Looks like Tommy Tobin had a loan with Gerald Dotterweich (Jerry D's) which Tommy defaulted on. After several months in the court system, Tommy entered into a confessed judgment and on Dec 5, a Writ of Execution was issued, making all of the property in Manhattan Grill (up to the judgment amount) property of "Jerry D". Tommy is probably out of the country (or at least in hiding) with as much money as he could grab before leaving. Why can't more research be done on these stories before they are published??? I don't know how much of my educated guess is correct, but I gained more information in 3 minutes from public sources than I did from the Patch, come on Emily!

Had bad experience with rude waitress there and hated it ever since. Plus some guy showed up there with a gun and took a shot at somebody a few years ago when they were doing there regular dirtbag nights. Glad it closed!

How about a Grilled Cheese place. I know one exists somewhere in the city and think that would go over great. Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. YUM...

Great Food and music and nice beer selection visited the one in Charlotte, NC

Flying Saucer Draught Emporium founded in 1995. Offers a wide variety of imported and domestic quality craft beers, and a full pub menu. We offer more than 240 beers.

This area most definitely needs food with FLAVOR a Puerto Rican/ Portuguese Restaurant would tantalize the most adventurous palates and keep them coming back for more with their families and friends in tow. There is NO other cuisine like it!!!

I would like to see a craft beer bar like Red Brick Station open in this space. The bar is usually standing room only. I love their season brews and they run a tight ship. So far, no problems and I visit a couple times a week.

I vote for a bike shop, with an area set aside for local riders to do self-repairs on their bikes. Would also be a good place for meet ups for ride starts.

Whatever they put in there, it will be hard to keep as the rents are too high for this economy.
