to search for greener pastures, small businesses which don't have that luxury are still trying to survive the city's economic downturn.
Bota, a popular tapas restaurant located near Union Square, has seen a significant decrease in the number of customers in recent months, with at least 40% fewer patrons compared to last year. "Right now, if you look at the restaurant, it's pretty empty," Martinez said."We should have a lot more going on, but we don't.
