Park Slope Eatery Closing

If you blinked you might have missed it.  Park Slope Eatery, a deli-style restaurant on Seventh Avenue at the corner of Fifth Street, is closing. They were in the space vacated by the enormously successful La Bagel Delight, which moved two blocks south.

In case you missed it, PS Eatery had steam table fare, breakfast in the morning, bagels, deli sandwiches, salads with your choice of toppings, rotisserie chicken, daily entrees, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and the like.

I got wind of the fact that their business was terrible a few months ago. Apparently it was owned by a group of investors and many of them walked away quite early on. Some of the remaining investors tried to keep it going.

Look, they had a decent location, decent food (basics, nothing fancy) and nice people working there —  but no atmosphere or character at all.

No surprise.
