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.
