Watch the TV-33 news tonight, Thursday, December 29, at 11:00 p.m. A reporter is going to investigate whether people who attend events at the Chevrolet Centre will also partonize downtown restaurants after a show.
The Disney On Ice show had little to no impact on the number of customers attending downtown restaurants on Thursday evening. The two restaurants interviewed were Buffalo Wild Wings and Tomasino's Pizza.
I would think that the Disney show is geared for families with younger children and they were probably anxious to get them home afterward. BW3 is basically a bar-rstuatant and Tomasinos isn't that well known yet.
Also did they sell concessions at the Disney show? After buying drinks and snacks at the Chevy Centre you might be well over your dinner budget - espeically if you have children in tow.
Tomasinos is not family-family friendly whatsoever. Did the reporter even step foot inside the place? If I had a family, there is no way I'd bring them there. Cedar's, maybe; BW3's probably, MVR definately. Obviously, WYTV isn't too clued-in on the what restaurants are available and would qualify as family-friendly.
