...where have you been for the past several years? Clearly not in DTK. I really respect a lot of the stuff you post here, but stuff like this is just obviously wrong.
DTK is a major restaurant destination. There's like two dozen restaurants people head to DTK to go to outside of 9-5, making it probably the biggest concentration of restaurants in the region.
I can personally attest just how difficult it is to get a seat at the Grand Trunk, The Surf, TWH Social, etc patios on a Friday or Saturday evening when the weather is nice. There's clearly tons of people heading downtown at those times.
Does it have all the culture I want? No. But the evening vibrancy of DTK is picking up rapidly.
