I was once hired by a friend who owned a West Village restaurant. He had been hospitalized with a serious illness, and the manager he left in charge robbed him blind. I struggled for a few weeks, but the records were a mess and I told my friend he should hire a forensic accountant and a lawyer to sue the (now dismissed) manager. He refused. The restaurant closed. I found another job.<br /><br />I doubt that my experience is unique. Just look at all those make-over shows on cable TV: Restaurant Impossible, Restaurant Restoration, and on and on.<br /><br />Galapagos is a special case. Priced out of Williamsburg, they were offered a special rent in Dumbo. Two Trees (the Walentas family) wanted night life and creative people in the neighborhood, where they own much of property. The long-long-long delayed reconstruction of the adjacent Empire Stores warehouses is raising the value of the Galapagos space. <br /><br />Galapagos chose not to negotiate a new lease or seek other space in New York. Real estate in Detroit is cheap, mostly because the city is shrinking. I wish Galapagos the best of luck.Harry Matthewshttp://townhousetours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-18426960807090087492014-12-31T15:00:04.867-05:002014-12-31T15:00:04.867-05:00The Scholastic Bookstore on Broadway (home of the ...The Scholastic Bookstore on Broadway (home of the giant reading dinosaur) is shutting its doors; closing sale on now.<br /><br />Aussie meatpie-lovers' Pie Face closed all its NYC locations:<br />http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20141016/union-square/pie-face-suddenly-closes-nearly-all-its-nyc-locations<br /><br />Once Upon a Tart on Sullivan St. closed and then reopened -- huzzah!<br /><br />More here:<br />http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/columns/openings-closingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-30122959026693904972014-12-31T10:18:08.252-05:002014-12-31T10:18:08.252-05:00Zuni on the corner of 9th and 43rd.

One of their longtime waiters told me they lost their lease and they couldn't afford the landlord's new rent demands. It was a hole in the wall, and one of the last remaining joints in the neighborhood where you could get a drink and a good meal at a reasonable price. Now the former storefront has been sitting empty for over six months.
