NPOV: article reads like an advertisement

While not exactly an advertisement, this article is hardly NPOV. It's full of words like "upscale", "best", "acclaimed" etc. without ever mentioning any kind of source, or even just further explanation of what makes it good. This is a classic case of WP:PEA.

Getting back to "sounds like an ad", tons of businesses are mention and/or linked, which seems very spammy to me. If these businesses are actually noteworthy, prove it with a reliable source. Take, for example, the following sentence:

"Doubleshot Coffeehouse, Mercury Lounge, Rehab Lounge, Dalessandro's Restaurant, Pour House, Oscar's Gastro Pub and Vintage 1740 Wine Bar are popular destinations in SoBo."

Sorry, but that's unacceptable. I'm considering deleting the sentence, but then again, some of these may actually be notable - but how can I, or any reader, tell? Please source what's actually notable, and delete what's not. For that matter, I personally consider any link to a business an ad.

Unfortunately this isn't the only article with these problems, in fact, a lot of neighborhood descriptions are plagued by the similar problems of "local business plugging".

Remember, Wikipedia is not the yellow pages, nor a travel guide. 87.78.3.205 (talk) 17:44, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
