Corner Bistro
Non-notable local eatery. Only 81 displayed hits for "Corner Bistro" "Bistro Burger", and they are all NYC-oriented blogs, forums, or dining guides--nothing to indicate it is well-known anywhere but locally. Regforafd 03:33, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * It is extremely well known throughout most of New York City, and just because not everyone knows about it doesn't mean the article can't exist. Bobburito 15:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Well, there is a new line of frozeen foods (I can't remember who makes them) that uses the Corner Bistro logo. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll keep looking, but this frozen "Corner Bistro" brand doesn't sound like it would be connected to a place best known for baconburgers. Regforafd 03:45, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The Greenwich Village Corner Bistro doesn't seem to have a website, but if you click on 'on screen menu' from this link, you'll see a few burger varieties, grilled cheese and chicken sandwiches, and chili. Whereas all the Stouffer's Corner Bistro products are pasta & sauce-based. Regforafd 03:59, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Additional information. New York City's official tourism web site doesn't list "Corner Bistro", which further indicates it is only of local interest. Regforafd 19:40, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't mean to get all inflamed, but you are obviously not a New Yorker...in NYC "local" can mean at least half a million people. To put that in perspective, that's more than the population of Luxembourg, almost the population of all of Vermont, and almost twice the population of Iceland.Bobburito 04:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the population of Manhattan is roughly 1.5 million, you're saying that "local" means 1/3 of the entire borough? That's not an argument, that's handwaving -- especially since the actual population of the neighorhood in question is only 84,000. --Calton | Talk 07:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. The place doesn't show up in my New York: A to Z, though lots of other restaurants are noted. When I get home, I'll check my other NYC refs (Time Out, Rough Guide, Manhattan Block by Block, etc.), but I'll bet they come up short. --Calton | Talk 07:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Damn, I can't find them yet. But the old issue of Time Out New York I did find doesn't show this in their TONY 100. Sorry, User:WindowsWizard12 aka Bobburito, this place don't cut it. . A bit harsh: I get a bit more checking, and while I still don't think it's worth an article, I did find one source claiming it to be the best burger in New York -- from The Times of London. So one British travel writer thinks they're great. --Calton | Talk 10:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

''Note: relisting 15/12/05, which is apparently 14/12/05 for y'all. Sad, really. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 16:08, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Not sufficiently notable. Delete.  --Nlu (talk) 16:10, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with above. Eusebeus 17:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If it was a particularly notable New York restaurant featured in guidebooks and the like, I'd vote to keep. But it seems it is just another restaurant - there must be hundreds if not thousands of them in New York City. Capitalistroadster 18:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
