Not sure if it was a rent increase or some other cause that induced them to move to the fancy new highrise at 100th and Broadway. They were only there for a few months and then shut down. Their old place is now occupied by Bank St bookstore, and their new place is empty.<br /><br />https://www.google.com/maps/place/Academy+Floral/@40.7969361,-73.9700213,3a,75y,115h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sauoqXt3Vackhr7TqwM_qeA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DauoqXt3Vackhr7TqwM_qeA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dsearch.TACTILE.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D234%26h%3D106%26yaw%3D115.75415%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c2f624cca82b1b:0x23eccfa35356e326!6m1!1e1<br /><br />I would love to know more of the story...Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826027765991475367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-39725861354810951652015-12-29T11:48:18.307-05:002015-12-29T11:48:18.307-05:00To Johanna Climenko, excellent comments, Thank you...To Johanna Climenko, excellent comments, Thank you ! Add to this list; Allied Builders Hardware & Paint Store, 59 Second Ave. A local mom & pop operation, serving the lower east side community since 1982. Forced out by greedy landlords who thought it would be fair to "Triple" the monthly rent to $28,000. Seriously ! And, Commerce Restaurant, 50 Commerce St. in Greenwich Village. Although only there for 7 years, this excellent and highly successful restaurant occupied an historic location, former home to The Grange & The Blue Mill restaurants and maintained their tradition of a neighborhood place. Forced out by a greedy landlord over a 4 year legal battle regarding a technicality in the lease. Many, many more closings in 2015, no doubt with a continuation into 2016.

The owners still run Hendricks nearby, but after 25 years in NYC I'd never come across a cozier, more comfortable, tasteful, reliable place to get great food, drinks & service at a reasonable price (and it was all under the radar). I miss this place tremendously. <br /><br />http://www.hudsonplacenyc.com/Logic VanGoodboinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616541703806345168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-5392788768402679372015-12-28T21:33:08.357-05:002015-12-28T21:33:08.357-05:00It's a list of many miseries.

They were put through the same kind of bureaucratic hoops as B&H went through, without having the mobilization to help them fight it. La Luncheonette at least had a long run, and the owners were ready to say 'good-bye' if not the patrons. Avignon Pharmacy was so much it's own place, and will never be replaced. Caffe Dante, one of the few old village Italian cafes that made the village the village. I have many more Obits for this list, but I'm sure they will be spoken by others.

Made it to the closing night. Apparently, they didnt close until about 8 or 9am the next day.

Rising rent & yes, changing demographics. At Eagle, the many varieties of beer certainly helped attract a broader, younger crowd, but the soul of the place was in their Polish products, and that market had certainly dwindled. Demographics were a part of the decision to sell. One of the two brothers that owned the place wanted to stay on, but the other was ready to get out. They did well out of the sale, having got the building from the City for almost nothing in the 70's. This spot was a Polish grocery (the White Eagle) since at least the 30s, & the old, porcelain signs were right there underneath the iconic, hand-painted Provisions ones.onemorefoldedsunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995652957356064546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-29335117896518146682015-12-28T10:19:17.317-05:002015-12-28T10:19:17.317-05:00RIPRIPAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270157781546738918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-59264519968030920872015-12-28T08:29:53.164-05:002015-12-28T08:29:53.164-05:00I call BS on the Eagle Provisions no longer fittin...I call BS on the Eagle Provisions no longer fitting. That place was consistently shopped. I never went in that there weren't a dozen or so people looking for beer. They had everything. If anything, a place like that, with an abundance of beer for purchase, was a PERFECT fit even with their changing demographics. It's weird that they don't complain that they could no longer afford to stay in business, but what an easy complaint to say "Changing demographics" forced them to quit.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-48229290340868008872015-12-28T08:15:42.306-05:002015-12-28T08:15:42.306-05:00Karavas Greek Place near West 4th
