You would have been hard pressed to find a single commentator who ever stepped foot inside the Waverly Inn, much less dine there.

That should be a pretty good testament to their readership, which are not people that even live in NYC for the most part. They aren't cool, they don't get into the hot restaurants/clubs, they likely for the most part aren't even old enough to drink. That's why this particular post about Beatrice Inn garners no interest with their commentators. One of the reasons Gawker started their "elite star" comment system in the first place was to help mask the massive deterioration of the quality of their readership/commentators. Compared to the other successful Gawker Media sites, gawker.com has the least page views, but it was always the marquee flagship for the company that had all the chicness and cache. That's not the case anymore. Also note that the Gawker post has 2600+ views but not one single comment.

It probably IS Chris Wilson. Hey Virgo, it’s funny you should say that because “Ravi Somaiya” at Gawker is not the blogger’s real name. It probably IS Chris Wilson.

The fact that they did all go to journalism school but they're all broke and starving while you guys trounce all over them and don't even need to blog for the money. Ha! That's why everything they write is so bitter while you guys celebrate life/art and your love of food/wine every day on this blog. Add to that they can't even get into some places while you guys seem to be out more nights in one week than they go out all year. @Anonymous

Very interesting how they all chose to read this. No one said a done deal, and no one said all those 'name' operators were in on the same project! Send 'em all back to school!
