CAFFE DANTE to CLOSE ???

MY BELOVED CAFFE DANTE to CLOSE
Yes I’m afraid it’s most likely true, my beloved Caffe Dante to close this month (February 2015) after 100 years in business in New York’s Greenwich Village. It’s rumored that Mario Flotta the long time owner of Caffe Dante will be selling the caffe to a Australian Corporation and it was reported on 1010 WINS Radio News this morning that Dante will be shuttering its doors in 10 days time. This is very sad, especially for me and longtime regulars who have been going to Caffe Dante for 10, 20, 30, and even 40 years for New York’s most authentic Espresso and cups of Cappuccino. I myself have been going there since the Summer of 1985 when I came back from my first trip wonderful trip of many to my ancestral homeland of Italy .. As i’ve been going to Caffe Dante almost evry single day siance 85, I’ve become good friends with the Flotta Family over the years especially Mario Sr. who is almost like a second father to me.
This is such sad news, and all I can say is something I know that most do not, is that Mario bought a building around the corner on Bleecker Street for just such a situation. That being that the landlord would one day raise his rent beyond reason (the Landlord did in 2013), and Mario would just pack up his caffe and move it around the corner. Mario is Caffe Dante, his loves the place like one of his own children, and I know this is the reason he bought the building on Bleedker. Mario told me himself what he would do, and he always wanted the Caffe to continue and for there to be a place for Caffe Dante for his sons, Mario Jr., Anthony, and Peter.
I hope everything all works out, I love Caffe Dante more than I can ever express, it’s without question my second home, and a Greenwich Village without this wonderful Caffe would be that much less of the Greenwich Village that we residients, visitors and tourist from around the country and around the World know.

Once Upon a Tart Re-Opens in Soho

 
GREAT NEWS in SOHO
ONCE UPON a TART
 
Sulivan Street
 
Soho
 
NEW YORK , NY
 
 
 
Well it’s been a RollerCoaster Ride the past six months or so for Jerome Audereau
and his bloved Soho establishment Once Upon a Tart .. Because of a high-rent increase and other factors, The Tart as it’s know to its many loyal followers and fans found itself in a bit of a finacncial strain. Jerome said the numbers didn’t add up and unless he got a partner the Tart would have to close. Matt Amramchyk the owner of sucessful Navy Restaurant next door was interested in parntering with Audureu and The Tart but this wishful marriage was squashed by The Soho Alliance who to put it bluntly hated Navy and its owner and did not want them to be a partner at The Tart as they said if the partnership of Navy and Once Upon a Tart was approved with a Approval of a State Liquor Liscense, the people behind NAVY would control half the block. Sweeney and the people at Soho Alliance all love Jerome and Once Upon a Tart, but the feelings are just the opposite when it comes to Navy and the people behind. The neighborhood people have a beef with Navy and its owner Matt Abramcyk, as Sweeney and those opposing Navy say that they are bad nieghbors, playing loud music and making a ruckass outside lat into the night.
 
So as it turns out, Once Upon a Tart shuttered its doors in August of 2014 to overwhelming sadness of its local cutomers  .. Mr. Audureu has since gained a partner and has re-opened the beloved Once Upon a Tart as of this day, Wedesday November 26, 2014 ..  Needless to say, we local customers are quite excited and happy at the re-opening of our beloved Tatrt.
 
Bravo Jerome, Good Luck, and Welcome Back,
 
Your Loyal Customers
