Most-missed restaurant
7 Comments
Mine has to be the Payard Patiserrie and Bistro on 73rd street and lexington. More than the food I used to adore going to Payard for a coffee and a flourless walnut cookie which I had convinced myself was 'healthy'.
The only restaurant I like more than any of the others is Brother Jimmy's. They serve mostly country food.
Brother Jimmy's is alive and kicking in six locations! Look:

I used to live above Zozo's on Stanton and Orchard...now it's some kind of noodle bar. They had really delicious zucchini sticks and chipolte mayo and mango chutney..... I really couldn't believe they closed, though with the rent hike in the LES it shouldn't have surprised me.
@BroadwayBK Zozo's menu sounds divine.. the rent issue is crazy .. apparently Payatd's rent was jacked up from $28000 a month to $62000 a month. I haven't gone back to the area to check if the space has been rented out as yet.
Oh oh oh! Splendida on 93rd and Madison. Did great, higher-end pizza in a rather upscale restaurant-venue. Alas, replaced by a cheap takeaway.
@Uptowngirl: Are you telling me that the rent Payatd's had to pay went from $28,000 to $62,000 a month. That is unheard of.
