Grezzo Restaurants Closing
In her blog post she mentions selling the restaurants but doesn't say whether that happened. Hope she did -- would live to see them reopen!
Bella Luna Moving...Milky Way Closing
Well I was no fan of the Bella Luna's food, so I look forward to something new in that space. (Inconsistent and overpriced, IMHO.) Seems the bigger loss is the Milky Way, but I'd expect another operator could do as well if not better with that space.
Bella Luna Moving...Milky Way Closing
It's odd -- is this some how any different from all of the other businesses that are moving around the neighborhood right now? Bella Luna had a 15-year lease, and it had a good run at this location. It seems disingenuous that Mainzer didn't know the rent was going to increase before now (and I can't imagine how a building owner could dream of competing with the non-profit JPNDC. Businesses are moving to the Brewery because your tax dollars are subsidizing the rents, folks!) I'd love to reincarnate an old JP restaurant like Black Crowe Caffe or Mi Casita or Perdix or Five Seasons in the Bella Luna space... or bring on something new and creative. It will be good to see two tenants in those spaces rather than one. Good historical "rents are going up" article here: http://jamaicaplaingazette.com/node/2261
