1492 on Clinton Street Closes

Hear ye, mateys. 1492 is no more, its ten-year conquest of Clinton Street having run aground. Just in time for Columbus Day. Peak hours at 60 Clinton are met with darkness and silence. Lights are extinguished, menus and namesake leafing removed from windows, and liquor drained from the shelves. Chairs and tables are also locked in a static position of disarray. Most telling, however, is the tri-toned message from the operator explaining that the number is currently disconnected.

The apparent closure comes nearly two years after the business was listed for $295,000 in key money. Said deal had come about due to alleged “partner disagreements.”
