    Some factors

    1) The list includes grocery stores, bakeries, and delis - so it's not quite that many.
    2) CH gets loads of visitors (Tishrei sees thousands, for instance).
    3) many restaurants don't survive on frum locals only (izzy's, basil, etc)

    Groceries and bakeries are separate in the wiki. Visitors for a couple of weeks of the year does very little to help. The question is how the others are surviving.

    Lakewood has 4 to 5 times as many families and not as many eateries.

    The real answer is that the restaurants draw from outside CH.
    Places like BAB, B&B, Bakerie, Basil, Izzyz, etc, have massive draws from the outside.
    Wasn't like that a decade or 2 ago.

    -1

    first of all it's not only a few weeks of the year. Tishrei is the busiest but there are other times throughout the year when there's a huge number of visitors as well.

    Of course there's a steady stream of visitors throughout the year. The average CH person probably has more family living OOT than in CH. I doubt that can be said for Lakewood.

    Even if it was only a few weeks, I'm not sure "a couple of weeks of the year does very little to help." is necessarily true. For example, I believe I've seen somewhere that many restaurants in MIA pretty much make it or break it based on Yeshiva week.


    And more importantly, even without all that, the fancy/expensive places are making their money from/catering to "outsiders," not CHers so the numbers in CH itself are kinda irrelevant.

    I see Dan beat me to that last point

    More kids=more bracha=more parnassah=more eating out?
    Not sure I agree with your assumption. יש לומר  that it goes like this:

    Bracha=kids+parnasah
    Bracha-kids=parnasah
    Therefore more kids-> less parnasah-> less eating out.
    Risk is opportunity

    CH was a tourist place for 70 years, but this level of food quality and quantity only started in the past 10 years or so.

    It wasnt a tourist place as now and happen to be you misinformed, 70 years ago or even 50 years ago crown heights wasn't a tourist place maybe 30 years ago its started,  chabad weren't accepted by most of the world ,thats started to change in the late 80's , besides in the 70's crown heights was like boro park these days ,Chabad was a small percent of crown heights it was a mix of all kind of people till people that wasn't chabad was kicked out or left , my grandfather not chabad lived there till mid 90's not chabad,  i remember the place well back then

    Besides chabad people are more into fres and spend on it then litvish in lakewood or any other place , they definitely have a strong base clientele from crown heights , no restaurant any where can ussualy liveout of tourists

    Why would it be because of parnassah? Imagine going in to Mike's with ten kids ranging from 12 months to 18 years old. It is much easier to just cook something they like.

    So much nonsense.
    A. If anything the 70s, 80s, and 90s had many more tourists than today. Other communities fled before then despite the Rebbe cajoling them not to.
    B. When I go into places like Izzys or when I went to basil (back when it had a hechsher) it was always jammed with non-CHers.

    I don't think there's a single true statement there.

    So much nonsense.
    A. If anything the 70s, 80s, and 90s had many more tourists than today. Other communities fled before then despite the Rebbe cajoling them not to.
    B. When I go into places like Izzys or when I went to basil (back when it had a hechsher) it was always jammed with non-CHers.
    In fact it wasn't, the last few years of the rebbe it was alot of tourists , before head they were a enclosed enclave and people didn't accept them ,ask for history

    How many of the 30? What about the rest?

    the fancy/expensive places are making their money from/catering to "outsiders,"
    I would say pretty much the places Dan mentioned. Everything else is pretty much fast food/deli/takeout etc

    I am a often visitor to fres in crown heights and the long lines by brooklyn bakehouse every day for lunch from local ch people you wouldn't find anywhere else that locals should spend so much for lunch.  In fact they are  chasidim and they spend more for fres then lakewood guys or modern guys in flatbush
