Being in NOT is presently like eating a steady diet of unsweetened oatmeal. Rather boring, but still good for you. I think a good number have left NOT from simple dietary boredom. The establishment/situation has done a good job of clearing the tables for the for the important patrons. Some of the regulars have dug their fingers into table and may well be around for the big meal..... if by the time the meal comes they are still strong enough to lift a fork. :)
