Lola's at the Bowery closing

[RecycleMichael]

Saw on their facebook page that this is their last week.

That's sad but that is one restaurant I just really never had an interest in.

  Great atmosphere and location...but the food was too iffy.  Sometimes it was ok, sometimes it was bad. I stopped going because I didn't like taking chances like that. Sad to see it close regardless, but hopefully something will replace it soon.

Did it fail or did they simply make all they wanted to make and are moving on?

[buckeye]

That's a pisser.

Their lease was not renewed.

In this economy?

Sharp must have someone else wanting the space then.

Are you een employed? I don't see how you could be with your set of paradigms.

[sgrizzle]

That's a pisser.

Their lease was not renewed. 

There's a hotel being built across the street, that just became prime space.

Are they going to move. or just close?

[waterboy]

Is the hotel just proposed or a done deal? I thought that was the second choice for it.

Hotel is supposed to be a done deal

Hey. . .How about they are moving into the hotel and have already cut a deal with the developer for a shiny new facility (he said rolling his eyes without basis).

Don't know if that's what happened, but If I were them, I would have been all over that like a ferret on a junebug!

Win-win for both.  The minute I heard the announcement I would have been on the phone to the developer.

Interesting possibility.  Or, the landlord could have upped the rent because of the new development going in across the street.

There is that. . .Presents a good opportunity to pitch the new developer.
