To our horror, Ron and I just discovered that Cafe Colonial, a Nolita landmark and the setting for our 3rd date, has closed down. Everything was perfect about this place-- the breezy Brazilian atmosphere, the vintage tiled floor and tin ceiling, and of course the food. Its disappearance is not only a loss to us, but a huge loss to a neighborhood where it stood for 15 years.
Allen & Delancey, where Ron and I had our first date has also since closed. I hope a pattern isn't forming where we experience these amazing places together, and then they disappear only to become legendary tales.
oh poo. I hate when that happens.
ReplyDeleteAt least you can tell that you had a great experience in a restaurant that only some people can share with you. It's true that it's so sad when that happens!
ReplyDeleteHope our favorite one will never close!
Hope some of your other favorite restaurants do not close before I get a chance to try some of them.
ReplyDeleteIf this is the case, maybe you and Ron can visit some of NYC's less desirable restaurants so they will also shut down! The dinner on 6th Ave and 16th comes to mind. So sad about Cafe Colonial though.
