In May, I reported that Chelsea's wonderful La Taza de Oro had been shuttered for a month, due to problems with the neighboring building and Con-Ed's intensified restrictions and regulations enforced after the Second Avenue gas explosion.
Now I've heard some good news.
When recently checking in on the place, I chatted with a man who seemed to know what he was talking about. He told me, "We're opening in November."
Keep your fingers crossed.
If true, I will be there with a bottle of champagne.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this the building was put on the market for sale a month ago.

A curse on anyone who threatens or impedes the resurrection of La Taza de Oro!
ReplyDeletePer chance, did they reopen? I haven't been there in years, but will be in NYC next week and hoping to swing by.
