Marshal Seizes Lafayette Street Restaurant of Rome’s Top Pizza Maker
Posted July 16, 2019 at 5:03 am
All that hype; all for naught. Famed Italian pizzaiolo Stefano Callegari – inventor of the Trapizzino street food – netted plenty of headlines last December when he opened La Rossa on Lafayette Street. The traditional Roman restaurant was his first New York City venture, and garnered accolades out of the gate. Seven months later, though, […]

Posted June 28, 2018 at 5:00 am
Paulaner’s Bowery folly is complete. The large-scale Paulaner Brauhaus on the Bowery flatlined back in February. Four months later, City Marshals seized the enormous ground floor and cellar spaces at 265 Bowery on behalf of the landlord. The token printout is taped to the front door of the vacant brewery. Meanwhile, signage and branding remains […]

The City Marshals came to the long-shuttered nightclub and seized the space on behalf of the landlord.

’Clinton Supermarket’ Evicted from Longtime Clinton Street Home
Posted September 28, 2017 at 5:08 am
The Chinese-leaning Clinton Supermarket – on the block for more than a decade – is now kaput. City Marshals paid a visit to the commercial anchor earlier this month to seize the space on behalf of the landlord. The storefront of 90 Clinton Street is now wrapped in butcher paper as it awaits the next […]

Curse of 71 Clinton Street Strikes Again as ‘The WhaLES’ is Evicted
Posted August 7, 2017 at 5:00 am
Over at 71 Clinton Street, the storefront hex is alive and well. Indeed, the sixth restaurant in eight years just shuttered. Except for a brief reprieve a couple weeks ago, Korean gastropub, The WhaLES, hadn’t been open much lately. The bar-restaurant debuted in June 2016 and quickly collected the requisite foodie accolades for being a […]

City Marshal Seizes Pomme Creperie on Ludlow Street
Posted September 4, 2015 at 5:18 am
The unheralded crepe wars of Hell Square were suddenly neutralized yesterday. For the last couple years, the Pomme creperie squared off against the longstanding Creperie mini-chain across Ludlow Street. We rarely saw anyone grazing in there, but business persevered nevertheless. The end came yesterday evening. Pomme’s last communication occurred via Facebook at around 4pm. Shortly thereafter, […]

Flight of the Conchords Fave ‘Wing Shoon Seafood Restaurant’ is Out of Business
Posted September 24, 2014 at 6:04 am
Wing Shoon Seafood Restaurant shuttered last week (September 16) after a City Marshal paid a visit and seized the joint. Now the security gates of 165 East Broadway are shut and a new leasing sign hangs above. The restaurant was the archetypal budget Chinatown eatery – cheap eats with a helping of rude service. Reviews […]

Marshal Seizes the ‘Fried Chicken House’ Knockoff at 108 Delancey
Posted June 27, 2014 at 6:00 am
To be honest, when the Fried Chicken House bowed at 108 Delancey Street back in February, we thought it some sort of joke. Popeye’s had closed a couple weeks earlier, and its entire branding was scrubbed from the facade. Then, in walks this cartoonish, lookalike fast food joint. So, our question was answered yesterday. Fried […]

Posted May 14, 2014 at 6:00 am
The landlord of 131 Essex Street just pulled the plug on Pulperia, and now has legal possession. The mid-block bar, which also masqueraded as a Spanish market, survived here for six months before its death earlier this week. City Marshals paid a visit and padlocked the premises. Pulperia had revealed something promising for 131 Essex […]

Spur Tree on Orchard Street Seized by Marshal; New Location Planned
Posted March 7, 2014 at 6:03 am
Looks like the Spur Tree on Orchard Street has been stumped. We ambled past 76 Orchard yesterday and found it shuttered and seized. That’s right; a Marshal’s notice on the door indicates that the Jamaican-style hang was officially evicted on March 3. However, the bar had a going away party the night before, and concurrently announced that […]
