French bistro Chez Jacqueline opened on MacDougal Street in 1982. And now it's gone.

The last Yelp review was from January, so it must have shuttered recently. If you know what happened to Chez Jacqueline, please let us know.

a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
So sad...I walked the village with my teenage daughter a couple of week ago to show her mom's old stomping grounds. There is nothing left! The edginess,musical culture and general bohemian aura has been replaced by a mall like atmosphere-sterile!

ReplyDeleteDo people realize how a few bad Yelp reviews can kill a business? If you read their reviews, first one diner complained that the food was salty. A few reviews later, not enough salt and flavorless. I can only imagine the angst going on over these attacks. Yelp is an acid eating away at Vanishing New York!
ReplyDeleteIt was not the Yelp reviews. The original owners sold the restaurant a few years ago. This was at least the scond Marshall's seizure. They stopped paying taxes.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't pay the landlord or the vendors or the taxes so guess what they were evicted.
