Restaurant closings are sadly not slowing down. In just the last couple of days, we’ve gotten word that a handful have shut their doors for good. Here’s what we know …
107 West – 2787 Broadway
A few weeks ago, one of our readers noticed that the interior had been emptied out. This weekend, she saw a ‘for rent’ sign on the door. 107 West first opened in 1987.
Grill 212 – 212 West 80th Street
The owners of this Middle Eastern and kosher restaurant have confirmed that it has permanently closed. This is the second kosher eatery to recently close. Ali Baba just shut its doors at 515 Amsterdam Ave, after operating since the mid-1990s. But, in brighter news for kosher diners, Pastrami Queen will be replacing Fine & Schapiro.
