APEC: Downtown San Francisco Restaurant Owners Want the City to Cover Losses During Conference - Eater SF
"Manuel Ramirez, who owns the Korean fried chicken spot Bonchon at the Metreon, tells the Chronicle that he stocked up his kitchen ahead of the conference because his suppliers weren’t willing to work around the security measures in place for APEC. But rather than a bump in business, he says he estimates the business lost about $50,000; had he chosen to close for the week instead, he could have minimized the damage to about $10,000." - Lauren Saria
