Fringale Restaurant

"Since 1991, Fringale has served French food out of its location at 570 Fourth Street, but that 28-year run ends on January 25, owner Jean-Marie Legendre tells the Chron. According to Legendre, his business dropped by 30 percent when Central Subway construction — which is underway just outside Fringale’s doors — began six years ago. The neighborhood’s influx of tech workers didn’t help, he says, as “they don’t go out for lunch anymore, because they all get food from their offices...these people are always on the clock and they want everything right away.”" - Eve Batey
