Duke’s Bar on its last legs?
Duke’s bar on Avenue C has been my haven from huge crowds & douchebags for quite a few years. It’s a low key bar that offered cheap beer, pool, Buck Hunter, darts & a promise of no hassle. A few months ago, the bar lost access to the basement, meaning they had to pull all […]
SOS Chefs Closes
I’m not sure how the hell I missed this, but on June 1st, EVGrieve reported that SOS Chefs, a high-end chef supplier on Avenue B has closed. I used to love looking through the shop when it first opened, but I did think that the ingredients were a bit on the expensive side. Still it’s […]
Luca Bar Seized
The Local East Village has reported that Luca Bar, a European bar/restaurant on St. Mark’s has been seized by the state for owing more than $31K in back taxes. I ate there once & had a totally forgettable meal, so I’m not sad to see the place go. I am, however, crossing my fingers that […]
Mini Burger Shutters
Mini Burger (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue, formerly Marco Polo Cafe) has been seized by Marshal’s (image) & is no longer open. It’s a real shame as they made awesome Bison Sliders.
East Village loses 2 Southern Food mainstays
Hot on the heels of Eater.com reporting that Acme Bar & Grill (9 Great Jones Street) will be closing for much needed renovations, East Village blog EVGrieve reports that Mara’s Homemade (342 East 6th Street) will be closing for good at the end of April. The owners of Mara’s (who have been at the current […]
Singa’s Shutters
Singa’s Famous Pizza (94 Avenue C @ 6th Street review here) that opened to little fanfare just over a year ago has shuttered & is closed for renovations. The pizza there wasn’t anything to write home about, the service was snail-slow & with Gruppo, Two Boots & even Papa John’s around, I really saw no […]
Satsko Eldridge Closes
Sake Bar Satsko‘s more grownup & fancy sister, Satsko Eldridge (245 Eldridge St. between Houston & Stanton Street), has closed. I knew business there has been slow for quite some time, but on Saturday the rumors were confirmed via a friend & today Bowery Boogie reveals that it’s due to nonpayment of taxes.
Fire Ravages 6th Street Kitchen
In a perfect example of how NOT to start 2011, a fire engulfed 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) & the 2 apartments above yesterday at 7:30 am. 1 fireman was injured, but all residents got out. A second fire broke out at 9:40 am & residents were evactuated […]
Ruby’s Bar & Grill to close
In a further show of developer’s inability to mix the old & the new Ruby’s (1213 Riegelmann Boardwalk) will be shuttered for good in 2 weeks. It’s already closed for the season, but it’ll never open again. I reviewed it back in August & I can honestly say that I’m really going to miss this […]
Caffe Pepe Rosso Closes
Caffe Pepe Rosso (127 Avenue C @ 6th street), the East Village outpost of the popular Sullivan St. Italian eatery has shuttered & now become Cotto Restaurant & Caffe. I remember seeing the listing on Tower Realty some time ago, but I never thought anything of it. Passing by on Sunday, I saw that the […]
