Menu Evidence

Menus of Vanished LES Eateries

Last week's unrelenting rain was the perfect excuse to clean house. In doing so, we stumbled upon the seldom-used menu bin atop the kitchen cabinets. Thanks to the internet, and Menupages in particular, these paper menus are nothing more than dust magnets. We therefore decided to just trash it all, and were quite surprised to find the paper evidence of eateries no longer in existence. Proof itself of the high failure rate in the restaurant business. Especially in such a trendy neighborhood.

Here is a quick cheat sheet:
