PROSPECT HEIGHTS FAMINE: Rash of Summer Closings

Posted by dailyheights on Thursday 17 July 2008 at 10:32 am

Joyce closed… Christie’s closed… El Gran Castillo de Jagua (home of the Meat Vent) closed… What’s next?

Last night I arrived back in NYC after 2 weeks away. I went for a quick walk, at the end of which I decided that I wanted a coco bread to go with dinner. Walking toward Christie’s at 7PM, I noticed that their gate was down and signs were up in the windows. Heart sinking, I walked up and read one of the signs: on vacation from 7/14-7/21, opening again on 7/22.

I damned near had a heart attack. Meat Vent’s DOH’ed and Christie’s is closed for vacation? What in the hell do I do for my weekend lunches?!?

    Had no idea Joyce closed.

    I liked El Gran Castillo de Jagua, but closed for health violations?

    Ug.

    Don’t forget Wok and Roll the spot for the best chinese in the area, or at least I thought so. I really think that most of the closings are due to the rise in rent caused by the incoming of the Nets Arena.

    Smoke House or what ever it is or was called. The place on 5th looks to be done. how long did it it last 6 month. do these people not know how to run business. any business really can take a good year to be profitable. How can you invest all that money in renovations and walk away after 6 months?
